A General Framework for Pricing Asian Options Under Markov Processes

Pricing Asian Options under a General Jump Diffusion Model

We obtain a closed-form solution for the double-Laplace transform of Asian options under the hyper-exponential jump diffusion model (HEM). Similar results are only available previously in the special case of Black-Scholes model (BSM). Even in the case of BSM, our approach is simpler as we essentially use only the Ito's formula and do not need more advanced results such as those of Bessel proces...

Pricing Discretely Monitored Asian Options under Lévy Processes

We present methodologies to price discretely monitored Asian options when the underlying evolves according to a generic Lévy process. For geometric Asian options we provide closed-form solutions in terms of the Fourier transform and we study in particular these formulas in the Lévy-stable case. For arithmetic Asian options we solve the valuation problem by recursive integration and derive a rec...

Pricing Asian Options on Lattices

Path-dependent options are options whose payoff depends nontrivially on the price history of an asset. They play an important role in financial markets. Unfortunately, pricing path-dependent options could be difficult in terms of speed and/or accuracy. The Asian option is one of the most prominent examples. The Asian option is an option whose payoff depends on the arithmetic average price of th...

Efficient Pricing of European-Style Asian Options under Exponential Lévy Processes Based on Fourier Cosine Expansions

We propose an efficient pricing method for arithmetic and geometric Asian options under exponential Lévy processes based on Fourier cosine expansions and Clenshaw–Curtis quadrature. The pricing method is developed for both European-style and American-style Asian options and for discretely and continuously monitored versions. In the present paper we focus on the European-style Asian options. The...
