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 economy which can be interpreted in terms of Markov chains. By means of the homotopy analysis method, an explicit formula for pricing two-state regime-switching American options is presented.

We study finite maturity American-style stock loans under a two-state regime-switching economy. We present a thorough semi-analytic discussion of the optimal redeeming prices, the values and the fair service fees of the stock loans, under the assumption that the volatility of the underlying is in a state of uncertainty. Numerical experiments are carried out to show the effects of the volatility regimes and other loan parameters. doi:10.1017/S1446181121000250

In this paper, we present algorithms to solve a complex system of partial integro-differential equations (PIDE's) of parabolic type. The system is motivated by applications in finance where the solution of the system gives the price of European options in a regime-switching jump diffusion model. The new algorithms are based on theoretical analysis in Florescu et al. (2012) where the proof of convergence of the algorithms is carried out. The problems are also solved using a more traditional approach, where the integral terms (but not the derivative terms) are treated explicitly. Another contribution of this work details a novel type of jump distribution. Empirical evidence suggests that this type of distribution may be more appropriate to model jumps as it makes them more clearly distinguishable from the signal variability.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper investigates the pricing of European-style lookback options when the price dynamics of the underlying risky asset are assumed to follow a Markov-modulated Geometric Brownian motion; that is, the appreciation rate and the volatility of the underlying risky asset depend on states of the economy described by a continuous-time Markov chain process. We derive an exact, explicit and closed-form solution for European-style lookback options in a two-state regime switching model.</p>
