In this paper we consider the European continuous installment call option. Then  its linear complementarity formulation is given. Writing the resulted problem in variational form, we prove the existence and uniqueness of its weak solution. Finally finite element method is applied to price the European continuous installment call option.

Installment options are Bermudan-style options where the holder periodically decides whether to exercise or not and then to keep the option alive or not (by paying the installment). We develop a dynamic programming procedure to price installment options. We derive the range of installments within which the installment option is not redundant with the European contract. Simulations analysis show...

Installment options are Bermudan-style options where the holder periodically decides whether to exercise or not and then to keep the option alive or not (by paying the installment). We develop a dynamic programming procedure to price installment options. We study in particular the geometric Brownian motion case and derive some theoretical properties of the IO contract within this framework. We ...

We present three approaches to value American continuous-installment calls and puts and compare their computational precision. In an American continuous-installment option, the premium is paid continuously instead of up-front. At or before maturity, the holder may terminate payments by either exercising the option or stopping the option contract. Under the usual assumptions, we are able to cons...

The valuation for an American continuous-installment put option on zero-coupon bond is considered by Kim’s equations under a single factor model of the short-term interest rate, which follows the famous Vasicek model. In term of the price of this option, integral representations of both the optimal stopping and exercise boundaries are derived. A numerical method is used to approximate the optim...

This paper derives accurate and efficient analytic approximations for the prices of both European American continuous-installment call put options. The solutions are in form series time-to-expiry with explicit formulae coefficients provided. Unlike other installment options, no Laplace inverses needed, there is need to solve complex, recursive systems or integral equations. provided fast yield ...

An installment option is a European option in which the premium, instead of being paid up-front, is paid in a series of installments. If all installments are paid the holder receives the exercise value, but the holder has the right to terminate payments on any payment date, in which case the option lapses with no further payments on either side. We discuss pricing and risk management for these ...
