In many of the numerical methods for pricing American options based on the dynamic programming approach, the most computationally intensive part can be formulated as the summation of Gaussians. Though this operation usually requiresO(NN') work when there areN' summations to compute and the...

The valuation of Asian, or a average price, options and of European options on portfolios in a "Black-Scholes" environment has given researchers trouble. The difficulty with these problems is that the probability distribution of the variable which determines the option payoff at expiration, a...

Empirical evidence has shown that subordinated processes represent well the price changes of stocks and futures. Using either transaction counts or trading volume as a proxy for information arrival, it supports the contention that volatility is stochastic in calendar-time because of random...

Thus, simulation of a trajectory from the gamma process requires generating only a small number of uniforms, avoiding the … expensive simulation of beta variates via numerical probability integral inversion. The proposed method is then applied in …

Pricing European-style Asian options based on the arithmetic average, under the Black and Scholes model, involves estimating an integral (a mathematical expectation) for which no easily computable analytical solution is available. Pricing their American-style counterparts, which provide early...

This article considers the pricing of interest-rate-sensitive claims when the underlying interest rate is driven by a two-state-variable GARCH process. Analytical solutions are established for the case when the innovations in the short rate are normal and/or chi-squared random variables and the...
