The pricing formulae for put and call options in the Black—Scholes model satisfy a certain symmetry relationship. There has been growing interest in asset price models that exhibit this put-call symmetry since, in the context of such models, certain barrier options can be replicated by a semi-static trading strategy in the underlying stock. This talk will survey these results as well as recent results on characterizing models that exhibit put-call symmetry.
