We are concerned with the problem of pricing plain-vanilla and barrier options with cash dividends in a piecewise lognormal model. In the plain-vanilla case, we offer a method with provides thin upper and lower bounds of the exact binomial price. In the barrier case, we provide an efficient algorithm based on suitable interpolation techniques. As by-product, we provide a new method for pricing American barrier options with continuous dividends.

Abstract
We are concerned with the problem of pricing plain-vanilla and barrier options with cash dividends in a piecewise lognormal model. In the plain-vanilla case, we offer a method with provides thin upper and lower bounds of the exact binomial price. In the barrier case, we provide an efficient algorithm based on suitable interpolation techniques. As by-product, we provide a new method for pricing American barrier options with continuous dividends.File in questo prodotto:
