Hi,does anyone know a reference that gives a closed-form solution or numerical approximation method for roll-down calls? To my knowledge Gastineau introduced these options in the mid-nineties but without providing any hint how to value them. Carr in his famous "static hedging" paper showed a hedge with plain-vanilla options but also didn't mention any references for pricing these options. So can anyone help me?Thanks.
