Interest rate is a fundamental determinant of asset prices in financial markets. Many stochastic models have been developed by academic researchers in the continuous-time setting (see, e.g., Vasicek [10], Brennan and Schwartz [1 ], Cox, Ingersoll and Ross ). These models provide a rich framework for

## Abstract This article revisits the topic of twoβstate option pricing. It examines the models developed by Cox, Ross, and Rubinstein (1979), Rendleman and Bartter (1979), and Trigeorgis (1991) and presents two alternative binomial models based on the continuousβtime and discreteβtime geometric Br
which follow diffusion processes are assumed and the instantaneous interest rate, r Cy,), and the spot price, Sot,) are determined. One of the state variables may be a spot price. lIf the option is American, it can be exercised on or before the expiration date. If the option is European, it can be e
## Abstract Substantial progress has been made in developing more realistic option pricing models for S&P 500 index (SPX) options. Empirically, however, it is not known whether and by how much each generalization of SPX price dynamics improves VIX option pricing. This article fills this gap by firs
