A new look at pricing of the “Russian Option”

Abstract:
The “Russian option” was introduced and calculated with the help of the solution of the optimal stopping problem for a two-dimensional Markov process in [10]. This paper proposes a new derivation of the general results [10]. The key idea is to introduce the dual martingale measure which permits one to reduce the “two-dimensional” optimal stopping problem to a “one-dimensional” one. This approach simplifies the discussion and explain the simplicity of the answer found in [10].
Keywords:
diffusion model of the $(B,S)$-market, bank account, rational option price, rational expiration time, optimal stopping rules, smooth sewing condition, the Stephan problem, diffusion with reflection.
