We calculate prices of first touch digitals under normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) processes, and compare them to prices in the Brownian model and double exponential jump-diffusion model. Numerical results are produced to show that for typical parameters values, the relative error of the Brownian motion approximation to NIG price can be 2–3 dozen percent if the spot price is at the distance 0.05–0.2 from the barrier (normalized to one). A similar effect is observed for approximations by the double exponential jump-diffusion model, if the jump component of the approximation is significant. We show that two jump-diffusion processes can give approximately the same results for European options but essentially different results for first touch digitals and barrier options. A fast approximate pricing formula under NIG is derived.

This paper studies the first passage times to flat boundaries for a double exponential jump diffusion process, which consists of a continuous part driven by a Brownian motion and a jump part with jump sizes having a double exponential distribution. Explicit solutions of the Laplace transforms, of both the distribution of the first passage times and the joint distribution of the process and its running maxima, are obtained. Because of the overshoot problems associated with general jump diffusion processes, the double exponential jump diffusion process offers a rare case in which analytical solutions for the first passage times are feasible. In addition, it leads to several interesting probabilistic results. Numerical examples are also given. The finance applications include pricing barrier and lookback options.

In this paper, we study the valuation of power exchange options with a correlated hybrid credit risk when the underlying assets follow the jump-diffusion processes. The hybrid credit risk model is constructed using two credit risk models (the reduced-form model and the structural model), and the jump-diffusion processes are proposed based on the assumptions of Merton. We assume that the dynamics of underlying assets have correlated continuous terms as well as idiosyncratic and common jump terms. Under the proposed model, we derive the explicit pricing formula of the power exchange option using the measure change technique with multidimensional Girsanov’s theorem. Finally, the formula is presented as the normal cumulative functions and the infinite sums.

In this paper, we study the problem of pricing average strike options in the case where the price processes are jump diffusion processes. As to the striking value we take the geometric average of the price process. Two cases are studied in details: One is the case where the jumping law of the price process is subject to a Gaussian distribution called Merton model, and the other is the case where the jumping law is subject to a double exponential distribution called Kou model. In both cases the price of the average strike option is represented as a time average of a suitable European put option.

In this paper, we derive closed form solution for Russian option with jumps. First, we discuss the pricing of Russian options when the stock pays dividends continuously. Secondly, we derive the value function of Russian options by solving the ordinary differential equation with some conditions (the value function is continuous and differentiable at the optimal boundary for the buyer). And we investigate properties of optimal boundaries of the buyer. Finally, some numerical results are presented to demonstrate analytical properties of the value function.
