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 ...

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...

We propose an efficient pricing method for arithmetic, and geometric, Asian options under 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 European–style Asian options; American-style ...

Asian options are of particular importance for commodity products which have low trading volumes (e.g. crude oil), since price manipulation is inhibited. Hence, the pricing of such options becomes one of the most interesting fields. Since there are no known closed form analytical solutions to arithmetic average Asian options, many numerical methods are applied. This paper deals with pricing of ...

We develop accurate analytical pricing formulae for discretely and continuously monitored arithmetic Asian options under general stochastic asset models, including exponential Lévy models, stochastic volatility models, and the constant elasticity of variance diffusion. The payoff of the arithmetic Asian option depends on the arithmetic average price of the underlying asset monitored over a pre-...

Arithmetic Asian options are difficult to price and hedge, since at present, there is no closed-form analytical solution to price them. Transforming the PDE of the arithmetic the Asian option to a heat equation with constant coefficients is found to be difficult or impossible. Also, the numerical solution of the arithmetic Asian option PDE is not very accurate since the Asian option has low vol...

We study the numerical solution of the Greeks of Asian options. In particular, we derive a close form solution of Δ of Asian geometric option and use this analytical form as a control to numerically calculate Δ of Asian arithmetic option, which is known to have no explicit close form solution. We implement our proposed numerical method and compare the standard error with other classical varianc...
