Abstract:
In the context of diffusion model of the (B,S)-market consisting of two assets: riskless bank account B=(Bt)t⩾0 and risky stock S=(St)t⩾0 described by (1.1) and (1.2) we consider the option of American type with payment function of “integral type” f=(ft)t⩾0:
ft=e−λt[∫t0Sudu+sψ0].
The paper solves the problem of definition of the fair price of the integral option under consideration. The structure of the expiration time is also described.
Keywords:
