Abstract

This paper investigates the characteristics of implied risk-neutral distributions separately derived from Taiwan stock index call and put options prices. Differences in risk-neutral skewness and kurtosis between call and put options indicate deviations from put-call parity. We find that the sentiment effect is significantly related to differences between call and put option prices. Our results suggest the differential impact of investor sentiment and consumer sentiment on call and put option traders' expectations about underlying asset prices. Moreover, rational and irrational sentiment components have different influences on call and put option traders' beliefs.
