In this paper we are interested in Monte Carlo pricing of American options via the Longstaff–Schwartz algorithm. In particular, we show that it is possible to obtain a variance reduction technique based on importance sampling by means of Girsanov theorem. The almost sure convergence of the...

Control variates are often used to reduce variability in Monte Carlo estimates and their effectiveness is traditionally measured by the so-called speed-up factor. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate that a control variate can also be applied to reduce the bias stemming from the...
