In this paper we investigate the use of finite difference and finite element schemes when applied to the valuation of exotic options characterized by discontinuities in the payoff function. In particular, we will conduct a numerical analysis of several common schemes in order to give a better...

We develop a multivariate Lévy model and apply the bivariate model for the pricing of quanto options that captures three characteristics observed in real-world markets for stock prices and currencies: jumps, heavy tails and skewness. The model is developed by using a bottom-up approach from a...

We devise a method to circumvent the complexity that arises from the option multi-dimensionality. That is, we transform the model to make it as simple as the one-dimensional case. Furthermore, the assumption of comonotonicity and other assumptions regarding the structure of the underlying asset...

This is the first paper to provide a simple, explicit formula (that doesn’t requirenumerical/computational methods) under stochastic volatility. The formulais as simple as the classical Black-Scholes pricing formula. Furthermore,this paper modifies the Black-Scholes model to make it consistent...

We overcome a long-standing obstacle in statistics. In doing so, we show that the distribution of the sum of log-normal variables is log-normal. Furthermore, we offer a breakthrough result in finance. In doing so, we introduce a simple, exact and explicit formula for pricing the arithmetic Asian...

We introduce a simple, explicit formula for pricing the Bermudan options. Furthermore, the formula does not require any additional parameter (relative to the European option formula). Moreover, we provide an upper bound for the price

In this paper, we show that the influential Merton jump diffusion model and formula are needlessly cumbersome. In doing so, we provide a simple, explicit formula that doesn't require a computational method. Furthermore, we introduce a new, simple method for solving partial...
