Abstract

No-Arbitrage option pricing models are used to derive ex ante expected price distributions. The performance of the method is assessed in the context of the calibration of the derived probability density functions, evaluated at the expiration date prices. It is found that the soybean and S&P 500 option-based probability assessments display some evidence of miscalibration very near to expiration and far from expiration.
