Pricing Exotic Options and American Options: A Multidimensional Asymptotic Expansion Approach

Author

  • Masahiro Nishiba

Abstract

This paper introduces a new method for pricing exotic options whose payoff functions depend on several stochastic indices and American options in multidimensional models. This method is based on two ideas. One is an application of the asymptotic expansion method for the law of a multidimensional diffusion process. The other is the combination of the asymptotic expansion method and the method called backward induction. The author applies the method to the problems of pricing call options on the maximum of two assets in the CEV model, average strike options in the Black–Scholes model and American options in the Heston model. Numerical examples show practical effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright Springer Japan 2013
