discrete arithmetic average price Asian option

Boris Skorodumov
Hello all,
Does a QuantLib have analytical approximation for discrete arithmetic average price Asian option ? (Levy 1997)
I did not found this in 0.9.7 version.
Thank you,
Boris.

I started to do an implementation of this (in private) - since I was
working on this in a different project - a few months ago, but haven't yet
come around to finish it.


Rgds,

Andreas

No, it doesn't. We accept contributions :)

Hi Andreas,

I wrote VBA code for analytical approximation ~ year ago, I do not remember whether I tested it accurately.
I have spreadsheet with test cases and VBA code.

The following two articles I used for analytical approximations:

'   1. Ton Vorst, "Prices and Hedge RAtios of Average Exchange Rate Options"
'   2. M.J. Siclari, Technical Report TR 00-10, OpenLink, 2000

Also, as far as I remember Haug book have several approximations.

I thought that QuantLib have something which is ready to go. I see that there is a Monte Carlo for doing this,
but it is a bit not practical since it much slow, though accurate.

If you need I can send you my code.

I am not ready to convert it to C++ for QuantLib since I am not yet very familiar  with quantlib. Though, I am going to read "Implementing Quantib" http://luigi.ballabio.googlepages.com/qlbook by Luigi to clarify several aspects.

Boris.

I will try to finish my code piece and get it included in QuantLib ;-).

We could then use your test cases for checking the results.

Can't be very specific on the time scale however...

Andreas
