Abstract This note discusses and corrects an inaccurate statement in Veestraeten (2008) concerning the valuation of European stock options in the presence of a lower reflecting boundary.
The claim that the put price can be obtained via the risk-neutral call price and the put call parity is not correct. In fact, this note shows that the put call parity cannot be applied when reflection is possible.
Document type Erratum / Corrigendum
