contents This paper presents a new model for options pricing. The Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model plays an important role in financial options pricing. However, the BSM model assumes that the risk-free interest rate, volatility, and equity premium are constant, which is unrealistic in the real market. To address this, our paper considers the time-varying characteristics of those parameters. Our model integrates elements of the BSM model, the Heston (1993) model for stochastic variance, the Vasicek model (1977) for stochastic interest rates, and the Campbell and Viceira model (1999, 2001) for stochastic equity premium. We derive a linear second-order parabolic PDE and extend our model to encompass fixed-strike Asian options, yielding a new PDE. In the absence of closed-form solutions for any options from our new model, we utilize finite difference methods to approximate prices for European call and up-and-out barrier options, and outline the numerical implementation for fixed-strike Asian call options.
