Abstract: Our work is aimed at modeling the American option price by combining the dynamic programming and the optimal stopping time under two asset price models. In doing so, we attempt to control the theoretical error and illustrate the asymptotic characteristics of each model; thus, using a numerical illustration of the convergence of the option price to an equilibrium price, we can notice its behavior when the number of paths tends to be a large number; therefore, we construct a simple estimator on each slice of the number of paths according to an upper and lower bound to control our error. Finally, to highlight our approach, we test it on different asset pricing models, in particular, the exponential Lévy model compared to the simple Black and Scholes model, and we will show how the latter outperforms the former in the real market (Microsoft “MSFT” put option as an example).
