Abstract:

Convertible bond is a new hybrid financial tool, which possesses the characteristics of bond and option and the performances of financing and evading risk. The investigation into the p ricing of convertible bonds is very important to both issuers and investors in p ractice or theory. In this paper, by using the Two Binomial TreeModel and considering the call and put items, the p ricing theory and corresponding p ricing model of convertible bonds is systematically studied through 24 kinds of convertible bonds in China market. The results show that the convertible bonds are significantly underp riced.
