Advanced Monte Carlo methods for barrier and related exotic options
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work, we present advanced Monte Carlo techniques applied to the pricing of barrier options and other related exotic contracts. It covers in particular the Brownian bridge approaches, the barrier shifting techniques (BAST) and their extensions as well. We leverage the link between discrete and continuous monitoring to design efficient schemes, which can be applied to the Black-Scholes model but also to stochastic volatility or Merton’s jump models. This is supported by theoretical results and numerical experiments.

Enhanced Monte Carlo Methods for Pricing and Hedging Exotic Options
Monte Carlo simulation is a widely used tool in finance for computing the prices of options as well as their price sensitivities, which are known as Greeks. The disadvantage of the Monte Carlo simulation, in its standard form, is its slow convergence rate. In the first part of this thesis, we review several methods that they have been proposed, in order to improve the convergence rate of Monte ...
متن کاملNumerical Methods for Discrete DoubleBarrier Option Pricing Based on Merton Jump Diffusion Model
As a kind of weak-path dependent options, barrier options are an important kind of exotic options. Because the pricing formula for pricing barrier options with discrete observations cannot avoid computing a high dimensional integral, numerical calculation is time-consuming. In the current studies, some scholars just obtained theoretical derivation, or gave some simulation calculations. Others i...
متن کاملStudies of Barrier Options and their Sensitivities
Barrier options are cheaper than the respective standard European options, because a zero payoff may occur before expiry time T. Lower premiums are usually offered for more exotic barrier options, which make them particularly attractive to hedgers in the financial market. Under the Black-Scholes framework, we explicitly derive and present pricing formulae for a range of different European barri...
متن کاملThe Valuation of Top Limited Uncertain Interest Based on Monte Carlo Simulation
In this paper, we introduce the Top Limited uncertain interest, and define it as a kind of exotic options. Then we propose a method to valuate the options with Monte Carlo Simulation. We demonstrate a real example from one of China venture capital policies. Our work enriches the exotic option theory, and it’s a remarkable step towards the quantitative analysis of public policies using option th...
متن کاملApplication of Monte Carlo Simulation in the Assessment of European Call Options
In this paper, the pricing of a European call option on the underlying asset is performed by using a Monte Carlo method, one of the powerful simulation methods, where the price development of the asset is simulated and value of the claim is computed in terms of an expected value. The proposed approach, applied in Monte Carlo simulation, is based on the Black-Scholes equation which generally def...
