Barrier Options under L\'evy Processes: a Simple Short-Cut

Pricing of Securities 2013-05-07 v3 Probability

Abstract

In this paper we present a very simple way to price a class of barrier options when the underlying process is driven by a huge class of L\'evy processes. To achieve our goal we assume that our market satisfies a symmetry property. In case of not satisfying that property some approximations can be obtained.
