In this paper we propose the optimum weighting scheme for pricing American options under a local volatility model. American options are priced under the constant elasticity of variance volatility model using Monte Carlo simulation. The residuals obtained from regression were heteroscedastic. For...

This paper studies measurement errors that subtract signal from true variables of interest, labeled lack of signal errors (LoSE). The effect on OLS regression of LoSE is opposite the conventional wisdom about classical measurement errors, with LoSE in the dependent variable, not the explanatory...
