This paper derives an analytic expression for the distribution of the average volatility $\frac{1}{T-t} \int_t^T \sigma_s^2 ds$ in the stochastic volatility model of Hull and White. This result answers a longstanding question, posed by Hull and White (Journal of Finance 42, 1987), whether such...

We discuss how implied volatilities for OTC traded Asian options can be computed by combining Monte Carlo techniques with the Newton method in order to solve nonlinear equations. The method relies on accurate and fast computation of the corresponding vegas of the option. In order to achieve this...

We study the classical real option problem in which an agent faces the decision if and when to invest optimally into a project. The investment is assumed to be irreversible. This problem has been studied by Myers and Majd [18] for the case of a complete market, in which the risk can be perfectly...

We use Malliavin calculus and the Clark–Ocone formula to derive the hedging strategy of an arithmetic Asian Call option in general terms. Furthermore we derive an expression for the density of the integral over time of a geometric Brownian motion, which allows us to express hedging strategy...

We show that Australian options are equivalent to fixed or floating strike Asian options and consequently that by studying Asian options from the Australian perspective and vice versa, much can be gained. One specific application of this “Australian approach” leads to a natural dimension...
