Abstract

|---|
The classical Black-Scholes-Merton model for option pricing has been challenged empirically on several fronts, most notably its assumptions about the normality of the return of the underlying security and its constant volatility. As an alternative, jump-diffusion models for the underlying process have been advanced to account for the observed fatness of the returns and their skewness. In this talk I present an efficient approach to price American options in such a context. |
