Optimal stopping and perpetual options for Lévy processes
نویسنده
چکیده
Consider a model of a financial market with a stock driven by a Lévy process and constant interest rate. A closed formula for prices of perpetual American call options in terms of the overall supremum of the Lévy process, and a corresponding closed formula for perpetual American put options involving the infimum of the after-mentioned process are obtained. As a direct application of the previous results, a Black-Scholes type formula is given. Also as a consequence, simple explicit formulas for prices of call options are obtained for a Lévy process with positive mixed-exponential and arbitrary negative jumps. In the case of put options, similar simple formulas are obtained under the condition of negative mixed-exponential and arbitrary positive jumps. Risk-neutral valuation is discussed and a simple jump-diffusion model is chosen to illustrate the results.

Elementary Proofs on Optimal Stopping
Abstract Elementary proofs of classical theorems on pricing perpetual call and put options in the standard Black-Scholes model are given. The method presented does not rely on stochastic calculus and is also applied to give prices and optimal stopping rules for perpetual call options when the stock is driven by a Lévy process with no positive jumps, and for perpetual put options for stocks driv...
متن کاملPerpetual Options for Lévy Processes in the Bachelier Model
Solution to the optimal stopping problem V (x) = sup τ Eeg(x+Xτ ) is given, where X = {Xt}t≥0 is a Lévy process, τ is an arbitrary stopping time, δ ≥ 0 is a discount rate, and the reward function g takes the form gc(x) = (x−K) or gp(x) = (K−x) Results, interpreted as option prices of perpetual options in Bachelier’s model are expressed in terms of the distribution of the overall supremum in cas...

Solution to the optimal stopping problem for a L evy process and reward functions (e x ?K) + and (K ?e x) + , discounted at a constant rate is given in terms of the distribution of the overall supremum and innmum of the process killed at this rate. Closed forms of this solutions are obtained under the condition of positive jumps mixed-exponentially distributed. Results are interpreted as admiss...
متن کاملOptimal stopping of Hunt and Lévy processes
The optimal stopping problem for a Hunt processes on R is considered via the representation theory of excessive functions. In particular, we focus on in nite horizon (or perpetual) problems with one-sided structure, that is, there exists a point x∗ such that the stopping region is of the form [x∗,+∞). Corresponding results for two-sided problems are also indicated. The main result is a spectral...
