Abstract

The Monte Carlo pathwise sensitivities approach is well established for smooth payoff functions. In this work, we present a new Monte Carlo algorithm that is able to calculate the pathwise sensitivities for discontinuous payoff functions. Our main tool is to combine the one-step survival idea of Glasserman and Staum with the stable differentiation approach of Alm, Harrach, Harrach and Keller. As an application we use the derived results for a two-dimensional calibration of a CoCo-Bond, which we model with different types of discretely monitored barrier options.
