Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the result of Orosi (2014), we derive an improved lower bound for European-style put options written on defaultable assets. Furthermore, we establish two additional no-arbitrage conditions, one for European-style puts and one for calls, which are tighter than the ones commonly reported in current literature. All of our results are based on static arbitrage arguments and have important implications for constructing arbitrage-free call or put option surfaces. In particular, we point out that the commonly stated conditions required for a call option surface are not always sufficient to generate an arbitrage-free call option surface.
