Pricing barrier options with discrete dividends

Papers from arXiv.org

Abstract: The presence of discrete dividends complicates the derivation and form of pricing formulas even for vanilla options. Existing analytic, numerical, and theoretical approximations provide results of varying quality and performance. Here, we compare the analytic approach, developed and effective for European puts and calls, of Buryak and Guo with the formulas, designed in the context of barrier option pricing, of Dai and Chiu.
