Abstract
ABSTRACT
We propose to use stratified approximations based on the gamma and lognormal distributions for the pricing of options on average, such as Asian options and bond prices in the Dothan model. We show that this approach improves on standard numerical approximation methods and is not subject to the instabilities encountered with closed-form integral expressions.
