This paper investigates the American option price in a two-state regime-switching model. The dynamics of underlying are driven by a Markov-modulated Geometric Wiener process. That means the interest rate, the appreciation rate, and the volatility of underlying rely on hidden states of the...

This paper evaluates the prices of European-style options when dynamics of the underlying asset is assumed to follow a Markov-switching Heston's stochastic volatility model. Under this framework, the expected return and the long-term mean of the variance of the underlying asset rely on states of...

In 2009, Avellaneda and Lipkin (A&L) proposed a dynamic model for hard-to-borrow stocks, in which the stock price and the buy-in rate, an additional factor introduced by them, are full coupled. In order to obtain a semi-explicit pricing formula for European call options, A&L had to make an...

In this paper, we present a new approach with which American option price under a general regime-switching model with an arbitrary finite number of economic states can be efficiently computed without solving a system of $n$ differential equations simultaneously. Comparing with all the existing...
