In this paper, we propose an alternative approach for pricing and hedging Americanbarrier options. Specifically, we obtain an analytic representation for the value and hedge parameters of barrier options, using the decomposition technique of separating the European option value from the early...

In this paper, we propose a general method for pricing and hedging non-standard American options. The proposed method applies to any kind of American-style contract for which the payoff function has a Markovian representation in the state space. Specifically, we obtain an analytic solution for...
