ABSTRACT

In this paper, we use a modified path simulation method for valuation of Asian American Options. This method is a modification of the path simulation model proposed by Tiley. We assume that the behavior of the log return of the underlying assets follows the Variance Gamma (VG) process, since its distribution is heavy tail and leptokurtic. We provide sensitivity analysis of this method and compare the obtained prices to Asian European option prices.
