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 paper describes a practical algorithm based on Monte Carlo simulation for the pricing of multidimensional American (i.e., continuously exercisable) and Bermudan (i.e., discretely exercisable) options. The method generates both lower and upper bounds for the Bermudan option price and hence...
