This article is the first attempt to test empirically a numerical solution to price American options under stochastic volatility. The model allows for a mean-reverting stochastic-volatility process with non-zero risk premium for the volatility risk and correlation with the underlying process. A gene

Proposed by M. Stutzer (1996), canonical valuation is a new method for valuing derivative securities under the risk-neutral framework. It is nonparametric, simple to apply, and, unlike many alternative approaches, does not require any option data. Although canonical valuation has great potential, it
factors explicitly into account for a proper valuation and risk management of these securities. The performed analysis is facilitated by deriving closed-form formulas for the valuation of forward starting options, hereby taking the stochastic volatility, stochastic interest rates as well the depende
