KEYWORDS: Option Pricing by a Game-Theoretic Approach; Moral Hazard by Limited Liability; Welfare Economics Concerning Bailout Policy

ABSTRACT: We developed a game-theoretic approach concerning the option pricing validity and tractability of which is ascertained by deriving the Black-Scholes formula. We also applied this approach to the welfare implications of the bailout policy. It is found that such a policy always worsens the economic welfare. This is because of the moral hazardous behavior of the buyer owing to the limited liability which is emphasized, for example, by Arrow [1] and Stiglitz and Weiss [2].
