Pricer for Barriers with partial berrier obs period

August 18th, 2009, 12:13 pm

Hi there,Could you please tell me whether or not the closed formula for Barriers with partial barrier observation period exists?I mean by partial barrier observation period that barrier is monitored in a sub period until the option maturity.e.g. for 5 yr option,barrier is monitored ONLY from yr 1 to yr 4 (i.e. 3yrs)I have made a monte carlo pricer but want a muck quicker one...Thanks in advance,tomtom

The Collector has a section on this in his Options book (2007). QuoteI have made a monte carlo pricer but want a muck quicker one...FDM, much faster.
