چکیده

This paper analyzes the theoretical problem of the real option with barrier. It models an investment decision with a double irreversibility concern: investing is irreversible, but waiting runs the risk of loosing the opportunity to invest. The optimal strategy leads to earlier investment when the barrier increases, or when uncertainty decreases. Uncertainty has ambiguous effects on the expected decision time and on the investment probability after N years. Analytical and numerical results also apply to the perpetual American call with a down-and-out barrier on a dividend paying asset.

Numerical algorithm for discrete barrier option pricing in a Black-Scholes model with stationary process

In this article, we propose a numerical algorithm for computing price of discrete single and double barrier option under the emph{Black-Scholes} model. In virtue of some general transformations, the partial differential equations of option pricing in different monitoring dates are converted into simple diffusion equations. The present method is fast compared to alterna...

Study of the Economic Nature of the Barrier Options and Its Jurisprudential Analysis

The purpose of this study is to investigate the economic and jurisprudential nature of barrier Option. Options are a type of derivative instrument in the financial markets that gives a person the right to buy or sell an asset without obligation. This tool is used along with other types of derivative tools to cover risk and speculation. Two kindes of barrier option are the Knock-In and Knock-out...

Barrier options pricing of fractional version of the Black-Scholes ‎model‎

In this paper two different methods are presented to approximate the solution of the fractional Black-Scholes equation for valuation of barrier option. Also, the two schemes need less computational work in comparison with the traditional methods. In this work, we propose a new generalization of the two-dimensional differential transform method and decomposition method that will extend the appli...

Improvement of Solar Still Productivity by Energy Absorbing Plates

A solar still is a viable option when the demand of potable water does not exceed more than 3 litres. Enhancement in distillate output from the solar still is a main goal of many researchers all over the world. In this research, the effect of copper and aluminium plates on distillate output is investigated experimentally as well as theoretically at different water depths under the same climate ...

Conditioning on One-Step Survival for Barrier Option Simulations

Pricing financial options often requires Monte Carlo methods. One particular case is that of barrier options, whose payoff may be zero depending on whether or not an underlying asset crosses a barrier during the life of the option. This paper develops variance reduction techniques that take advantage of the special structure of barrier options, and are appropriate for general simulation problem...
