Abstract

A way to estimate the value of an American exchange option when the underlying assets follow jump‐diffusion processes is presented. The estimate is based on combining a European exchange option and a Bermudan exchange option with two exercise dates by using Richardson extrapolation as proposed by R. Geske and H. Johnson (1984). Closed‐form solutions for the values of European and Bermudan exchange options are derived. Several numerical examples are presented, illustrating that the early exercise feature may have a significant economic value. The results presented should have potential for pricing over‐the‐counter options and in particular for pricing real options. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 27:257–273, 2007

## Abstract The value of a contingent claim under a jump‐diffusion process satisfies a partial integro‐differential equation. A fourth‐order compact finite difference scheme is applied to discretize the spatial variable of this equation. It is discretized in time by an implicit‐explicit method. Mea

In this article, an analytical approach to American option pricing under stochastic volatility is provided. Under stochastic volatility, the American option value can be computed as the sum of a corresponding European option price and an early exercise premium. By considering the analytical property
