ecent theoretical research has developed two valuation models for pricing R options on futures contracts-a European version, and a more complex American variant. The purpose of this article is to compare the pricing behavior of the two models and develop some implications for the use of European mod

Pesante, and Catherine Shalen for helpful discussions. I am also grateful to two anonymous referees for valuable comments.
'The price of an American option is the solution of a free boundary problem. In most, if not all, cases these solutions are determined numerically.
'Jamshidian (1989) and Rabinovitch (1989) priced a European bond option on the bond priced in Vasicek (1977). There, the instantaneous spot rate of interest evolves as the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, a mean reverting process with a deterministic instantaneous variance.

A closed-form solution of deep tunnel subject to an internal pressure and to an axisymmetrical time-dependent temperature ยฎeld is presented. The material is supposed to have a thermal-softening behaviour, the cohesion decreasing with the temperature. The thermal expansion generates plastic zones wit
