摘要: In this talk, I shall review a stream of my research team’s collaborative effort in pricing exotic options, particularly focusing on some recent progress in pricing American-style Parasian options and exploring their earlier exercise prices.

       With only one character difference between the two words “Parisian” and “Parasian”, pricing an American-style Parasian option is drastically different from pricing its former counterpart. In the talk, I shall demonstrate how we have overcome, through an integral equation approach, the major difficulty of numerically solving a pair of coupled three-dimensional (3-D) PDE systems instead of a 2-D PDE system coupled with another 3-Done (for Parisian options) with the existence of a moving boundary that has fully non-linearized the entire PDE systems. Utilizing the computed optimal exercise price, we are able to quantitatively discuss how much earlier an American-style up-and-out Parasian option should be exercised than its Parisian counterpart with a change of the accumulativeness of the so-called “trackingclock” time, which measures the risk of a contract being potentially knocked out, as well as the financial insights in terms of the nonlinear interactions between the holder’s early exercise right and the effect of the knock-out barrier.
