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...

Here we develop an approach for efficient pricing discrete-time American and Bermudan options which employs the fact that such options are equivalent to the European ones with a consumption, combined with analysis of the market model over a small number of steps ahead. This approach allows...
