We explicitly solve the pricing problem for perpetual American puts and calls, and provide an efficient semi-explicit pricing procedure for options with finite time horizon. Contrary to the standard approach, which uses the price process as a primitive, we model the price process as the expected...

Continuous time models in the theory of real options give explicit formulas for optimal exercise strategies when options are simple and the price of an underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion. This paper suggests a general, computationally simple approach to real options in discrete...

This paper is an extended version of the paper 'Practical Guide to Real Options in Discrete Time' (http://econwpa.wustl.edu:80/eps/fin/papers/0405/0405016.pdf), where a general, computationally simple approach to real options in discrete time was suggested. We explicitly formulate conditions of...

This paper focuses on Stochastic Dominance (SD) efficiency in a finite empirical panel data. We analytically characterize the sets of unsorted time series that dominate a given evaluated distribution by the First, Second, and Third order SD. Using these insights, we develop simple Linear...

In this paper we examine the problem of finding investors' reservation option prices and corresponding early exercise policies of American- style options in the market with proportional transaction costs using the utility based approach proposed by Davis and Zariphopoulou (1995). We present a...

From the model of Hobijn and Jovanovic (2001), we modelize a technological shock with uncertainty. We assume that this … technological shock appears in the shape of new firms. Only a part of these firms will be productive. Uncertainty relates to the … identification of the viable firms. This uncertainty decreases with the time and the diffusion of fundamentalist information that …

This article attempts to extend the complete market option pricing theory to incomplete markets. Instead of eliminating the risk by a perfect hedging portfolio, partial hedging will be adopted and some residual risk at expiration will be tolerated. The risk measure (or risk indifference) prices...
