Abstract

The purpose of this study is to gauge the impact of volatility risk on TAIEX Option return using regression models for analyzing 12-month cross-sectional option data. Our empirical results indicate that disparate volatility-risk factors have considerable effects on abnormal returns, and expect to create risk premium; specifically, the market risk premium, policy rewards, and fear index can lessen the return of 7.806%, 6.336%, and 1.294% per year, respectively.
