摘   要:

The valuation and optimal exercise of American options had been one of the most challenging problems in derivatives finance for long. The Least Squares Monte Carlo (LSM) method proposed by Longstaff and Schwartz is the one most used in practice. Two alternative Least Squares Monte Carlo (ALSM) methods, as well as the corresponding tests, are studied in this report. Simulation study shows the first method (ALSM1) is comparable to LSM in valuation but with “better” stopping strategies, while the second ALSM2 method supreme the LSM in both pricing and stopping.
