In recent years multivariate models for asset returns have received much attention, in particular this is the case for models with time varying volatility. In this paper we consider models of this class and examine their potential when it comes to option pricing. Specifically, we derive the risk...

In this paper we provide valuation formulas for several types of American options on two or more assets. Our contribution is twofold. First we characterize the optimal exercises regions and provide valuation formulas for a number of American option contracts on multiple underlying assets with...

While stochastic volatility models improve on the option pricing error when compared to the Black-Scholes-Merton model, mispricings remain. This paper uses mixed normal heteroskedasticity models to price options. Our model allows for significant negative skewness and time varying higher order...
