In the paper, we solve the pricing problem for perpetual American options in Markov-modulated Levy models. The early exercise boundaries and prices are calculated using an iteration procedure. The pricing procedure is efficient even if the number of states is large provided the transition rates are not large w.r.t. the riskless rates. The payoffs and riskless rates may depend on a state. Special cases are stochastic volatility models and models with stochastic interest rate; both must be modelled as finite-state Markov chains.

A general numerical method for pricing American options in regime-switching jump-diffusion models of stock dynamics with stochastic interest rates and/or volatility is developed. Time derivative and infinitesimal generator of the process for factors that determine the dynamics of the interest rate and/or volatility are discretized. The result is a sequence of embedded perpetual options in a Markov-modulated Leacute;vy model. Options in this sequence are solved using an iteration method based on the Wiener-Hopf factorization. Contrary to the earlier version of the method, the interest rate may assume non-positive values. As applications, explicit algorithms for Vasicek and Black's models with jumps are derived. Numerical examples show that the option prices in these two models are very close.

This paper provides a general framework for pricing of perpetual American and real options in regime-switching Levy models. In each state of the Markov chain, which determines switches from one Levy process to another one, the payoff stream is a monotone function of the Levy process labelled by the state, which allows for additional switching within each state of the Markov chain (payoffs can be different in different regions of the real line). As applications, we solve exit problems for a price-taking firm.

The book gives a systematical presentation of stochastic approximation methods for discrete time Markov price processes. Advanced methods combining backward recurrence algorithms for computing of option rewards and general results on convergence of stochastic space skeleton and tree approximations for option rewards are applied to a variety of models of multivariate modulated Markov price processes. The principal novelty of presented results is based on consideration of multivariate modulated Markov price processes and general pay-off functions, which can depend not only on price but also an additional stochastic modulating index component, and use of minimal conditions of smoothness for transition probabilities and pay-off functions, compactness conditions for log-price processes and rate of growth conditions for pay-off functions. The volume presents results on structural studies of optimal stopping domains, Monte Carlo based approximation reward algorithms, and convergence of American-type options for autoregressive and continuous time models, as well as results of the corresponding experimental studies.

Modeling and Pricing of Swaps for Financial and Energy Markets with Stochastic Volatilities is devoted to the modeling and pricing of various kinds of swaps, such as those for variance, volatility, covariance, correlation, for financial and energy markets with different stochastic volatilities, which include CIR process, regime-switching, delayed, mean-reverting, multi-factor, fractional, Levy-based, semi-Markov and COGARCH(1,1). One of the main methods used in this book is change of time method. The book outlines how the change of time method works for different kinds of models and problems arising in financial and energy markets and the associated problems in modeling and pricing of a variety of swaps. The book also contains a study of a new model, the delayed Heston model, which improves the volatility surface fitting as compared with the classical Heston model. The author calculates variance and volatility swaps for this model and provides hedging techniques. The book considers content on the pricing of variance and volatility swaps and option pricing formula for mean-reverting models in energy markets. Some topics such as forward and futures in energy markets priced by multi-factor Levy models and generalization of Black-76 formula with Markov-modulated volatility are part of the book as well, and it includes many numerical examples such as S&P60 Canada Index, S&P500 Index and AECO Natural Gas Index.
