  • American Monte Carlo option pricing under pure jump levy models 
    West, Lydia (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013-03)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: We study Monte Carlo methods for pricing American options where the stock price dynamics follow exponential pure jump L évy models. Only stock price dynamics for a single underlying are considered. The ...
  • Fourier methods for pricing early-exercise options under levy dynamics 
    Fadina, Tolulope Rhoda (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The pricing of plain vanilla options, including early exercise options, such as Bermudan and American options, forms the basis for the calibration of financial models. As such, it is important to be ...
