有鑑於資產報酬常具有自我相關的特性，本文探討當標的資產報酬服從一階移動平均過程之選擇權（MA(1)-type option）評價。研究結果顯示，除了總變異因子（total volatility input）不同外，MA(1)-type option 的評價公式與 Black and Scholes 模型極為相似。而根據數值分析的結果，即使資產報酬間自我相關的程度薄弱，由一階移動平均過程產生之自我相關仍會對選擇權價值造成顯著影韾。

This paper derives the closed-form formula for a European option on an asset with returns following a continuous-time type of first-order moving average process, which is named as an MA(1)-type option. The pricing formula of these options is similar to that of Black and Scholes except for the total volitility input. Specifically, the total volatility input of MA(1)-type options is the conditional standard deviation of continuous-compounded returns over the option's remaining life, whereas the total volatility input of Black and Scholes is indeed the diffusion coefficient of a geometric Brownian motion times the square root of an option's time to maturity. Based on the result of numerical analyses, the impact of autocorrelation induced by the MA(1)-type process is significant to option values even when the autocorrelation between asset returns is weak.
