内容提要：

We investigate whether fifirm fundamentals can explain the shapes of option-implied volatility (IV) function. We extend Geske (1997) compound option model to show how fifirm fundamentals are incorporated into the prices of equity and equity options, and how the shape of IV curve can vary across fifirms with difffferent leverage, dividend policy, cost of capital and maturity of debt. Empirical analyses show that fifirm fundamentals are important determinants of the IV curve even after controlling for realized moments, realized jumps, risk-neutral moments and systematic risk. Fundamental-based model is superior in predicting the IV curve than models based purely on statistical measures.
