Option Pricing Under the Variance Gamma Process

Filo Fiorani

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In this dissertation we price European and American vanilla and barrier options assuming that the underlying follows the variance gamma process. We solve numerically the problem implementing a finite difference algorithm and we present numerical experiments on the option pricing. This dissertation includes detailed algorithms as well as programming code in C++ to price European and American vanilla and barrier options under variance gamma.
