Abstract

The theory of options allows to establish a system of specific risk premiums designed to insure a bank against bankruptcy on a logic and rational basis because basically, paying a premium transforms a risky deposit into a riskless investment.The basic mechanism is that the payment of a premium is equivalent to the purchase of a put on the assets of the bank. The impact of different parameters on the value of that put is analyzed : level of debts, value of the market of the bank, volatility, pay-out ratio of dividend distribution .

Conclusions related to the management of the firm are drawn from the different simulations.
