The Monte Carlo Method for Option Pricing

  • Geon Ho Choe

摘要

In this chapter we introduce efficient ways to apply the Monte Carlo method in option pricing. Option price is expressed as an expectation of a random variable representing a payoff. Thus we generate sufficiently many asset price paths using random number generators, and evaluate the average of the payoff.
