On Asian Options of American Type

چکیده
We show that the optimal stopping boundary for the early exercise Asian call option with floating strike can be characterized as the unique solution of a nonlinear integral equation arising from the early exercise premium representation (an explicit formula for the arbitrage-free price in terms of the optimal stopping boundary). The key argument in the proof relies upon a local time-space formula.

Variance analysis of control variate technique and applications in Asian option pricing
This paper presents an analytical view of variance reduction by control variate technique for pricing arithmetic Asian options as a financial derivatives. In this paper, the effect of correlation between two random variables is shown. We propose an efficient method for choose suitable control in pricing arithmetic Asian options based on the control variates (CV). The numerical experiment shows ...
متن کاملA Numerical Procedure for Pricing American-style Asian Options
Pricing Asian options based on the arithmetic average, under the Black and Scholes model, involves estimating an integral (a mathematical expectation) for which no analytical solution is available. Pricing their American-style counterparts, which provide early exercise opportunities, poses the additional difficulty of solving a dynamic optimization problem to determine the optimal exercise stra...
متن کاملCharacterization of Optimal Stopping Regions of American Asian and Lookback Options
A general framework is developed to analyze the optimal stopping (exercise) regions of American path dependent options with either Asian feature or lookback feature. We examine the monotonicity properties of the option values and stopping regions with respect to the interest rate, dividend yield and time. From the ordering properties of the values of American lookback options and American Asian...
متن کاملInvestigating the Sustainability of Asian, European and American Regional Gas Markets in Response to Currency and Crude Oil Price Shocks
In this study, we model the long-term and dynamic relationships between spot oil and exchange rates and gas prices by applying the Markov switching vector self-regression model in three regional gas markets in USA, Europe and Asia. Price behavior is analyzed using Bayesian estimation to take into account the transition from an existing relationship and the delayed and recurring effects of pric...
متن کاملEuropean and American put valuation via a high-order semi-discretization scheme
Put options are commonly used in the stock market to protect against the decline of the price of a stock below a specified price. On the other hand, finite difference approach is a well-known and well-resulted numerical scheme for financial differential equations. As such in this work, a new spatial discretization based on finite difference semi-discretization procedure with high order of accur...

The article by Labonté, Schram, and Ruckert is a significant and timely analysis of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) policy and the severe threats to public health that it implies for 12 Pacific Rim populations from the Americas and Asia (Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, United States, and Vietnam). With careful and analytic precision t...
