Generalized delayed Black and Scholes Formula

Abstract

The mean objective of this paper is to derive an explicit formula for a price of an European option associated to the underlying delayed stock price which follows a linear differential equation with a general delay in the drift term. We use an equivalent martingale measure method based on Girsanov's property. Two of our model maintains the no-arbitrage property and the completeness of the market and can be considered as an extension some previous model introduced by Arriojas et al. in \cite{Aal}. The last one has a possible arbitrage property such that we can not obtain an unique price of an European option associated.
