This article investigates the valuation of currency options when the dynamic of the spot Foreign Exchange (FX) rate is governed by a two-factor Markov-modulated stochastic volatility model, with the first stochastic volatility component driven by a lognormal diffusion process and the second...

In this paper, we develop an option valuation model when the price dynamics of the underlying risky asset is governed by the exponential of a pure jump process specified by a shifted kernel-biased completely random measure. The class of kernel-biased completely random measures is a rich class of...

This paper is intended to elaborate regime switching and optimal investment timing in a real option framework. The paper differs from the existing literature in a significant way. In this paper we first consider an irreversible investment timing decision by adding a hidden Markov process to...

We investigate the optimal investment timing strategy in a real option framework. Depending on the state of the economy, whose changes are modeled by a Markov chain, the investment cost can take one of two values. The optimal investment timing decision is determined by finding the free boundary...
