Knock-in American Options

چکیده
A knock-in American option under a trigger clause is an option contract in which the option holder receives an American option conditional on the underlying stock price breaching a certain trigger level (also called barrier level). We present analytic valuation formulas for knock-in American options under the Black-Scholes pricing framework. The price formulas possess different analytic representations, depending on the relation between the trigger stock price level and the critical stock price of the underlying American option. We also performed numerical valuation of several knock-in American options to illustrate the efficacy of the price formulas. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 24:179–192, 2004

متن کاملEuropean and American put valuation via a high-order semi-discretization scheme
Put options are commonly used in the stock market to protect against the decline of the price of a stock below a specified price. On the other hand, finite difference approach is a well-known and well-resulted numerical scheme for financial differential equations. As such in this work, a new spatial discretization based on finite difference semi-discretization procedure with high order of accur...
متن کاملA Dynamic Programming Approach for Pricing CDS and CDS Options
We propose a general setting for pricing single-name knock-out credit derivatives. Examples include Credit Default Swaps (CDS), European and Bermudan CDS options. The default of the underlying reference entity is modeled within a doubly stochastic framework where the default intensity follows a CIR++ process. We estimate the model parameters through a combination of a cross sectional calibratio...
