Abstract: In this paper we study and implement a finite difference version of the augmented

state variable approach proposed by Hull & White (1993) that allows for pathdependent

securities. We apply the method to a class of path-dependent interest

rate derivatives and consider several examples including mortgage backed securities

and collateralized mortgage obligations. The efficiency of the method is assessed in

a comparative study with Monte Carlo simulation and we find it to be faster for a

similar accuracy.
