This book analyzes real options valuation for non-constant versus constant interest rates using simulation and historical backtesting. Several real options are investigated and combined with various pricing tools and stochastic term structure models. Interest rates for real options valuation are...

This book provides a modular pricing framework which allows the valuation of interest-rate derivatives in a general jump-diffusion setup. Starting with a comparison of three Fourier-style pricing methodologies, the book covers the derivation of Fourier-transform based solutions for different...

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...
