Abstract

This paper investigates the pricing of American exchange options when the price dynamics of each underlying risky asset are assumed to follow a Markov-modulated Geometric Brownian motion; that is, the appreciation rate and the volatility of each underlying risky asset depend on unobservable states of the economy described by a continuous-time hidden Markov process. We show that the price of an American exchange option can be reduced to the price of an American option. Then, we modify the result of Zhu and Chan (An analytic formula for pricing American options with regime switching. Submitted for publication, 2012), a closed-form analytical pricing formula for the American exchange option is given.
