Abstract
This paper develops a path‐dependent currency option pricing framework in which the exchange rate follows a mean‐reverting lognormal process. Analytical solutions are derived for barrier options with a constant barrier, lookback options, and turbo warrants. As the analytical solutions are obtained using a Laplace transform, this study numerically shows that the solution implemented with a numerical Laplace inversion is efficient and accurate. The pricing behavior of path‐dependent options with mean reversion is contrasted with the Black‐Scholes model. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 28:275–293, 2008

## Abstract This paper investigates the valuation of currency options when the underlying currency follows a mean‐reverting lognormal process with multi‐scale stochastic volatility. A closed‐form solution is derived for the characteristic function of the log‐asset price. European options are then v
## Abstract The theoretical prediction on targeted exchange rates expects mean reversion of the exchange rates. There is some empirical evidence to support this prediction. This paper presents a model for valuing European foreign exchange options in which the forward foreign exchange rate follows a
