Corrado and Su (1996) European Option Prices
This method explicitly allows for excess skewness and kurtosis in an expanded Black-Scholes option pricing formula.
The approach adapts a Gram-Charlier series expansions of the standard normal density function to yield an option price formula that is the sum of a Black–Scholes option price plus adjustment terms for nonnormal skewness and kurtosis (Corrado and Su, 1997).
For skewness = 0 and kurtosis = 3, the Corrado-Su option prices are equal to the prices obtained using the Black and Scholes (1973) model.
