• Is arbitrage good or bad? Justify. • What are some problems with the Black-Scholes-Merton model? • Suggest some improvements of the Black-Scholes-Merton model. • In the class, we have derived the Black-Scholes-Merton formula for European options. Is is possible to derive something similar for American options?
