Abstract

We introduce an approach for valuing some path-dependent options in a discrete-time Markov chain market based on the characteristic function of a vector of occupation times of the chain. A pricing kernel is introduced and analytical formulas for the prices of Asian options and occupation time call options are derived. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
