- Binomial options pricing modelBinomial options pricing modelIn finance, the binomial options pricing model provides a generalizable numerical method for the valuation of options. The binomial model was first proposed by Cox, Ross and Rubinstein in 1979. Essentially, the model uses a “discrete-time” model of the varying price over time of the underlying...
