Their strike prices are reduced by the paid dividends at ex-dividend dates, and it can be proven to be optimally exercised at maturity. We, therefore, price those warrants with four different kinds of European call-option valuation models, and we compare their valuation performance as well. The proportional transaction costs and the characteristics of discreted rebalancing duplication portfolio are incorporated with un-adjusted volatilities as the adjusted volatilities. In addition to using implied volatility as un-adjusted volatility, we also bring GMM-estimated volatility into those models since there are daily price limits of stock prices change into the two mentioned unadjusted volatilities are taker into the four warrant valuation models, and we also compare the performance of the models.[[sponsorship]]行政院國家科學委員會[[notice]]補正完
