A Quick Algorithm for Pricing European Average Options

Stuart M. Turnbull; Lee Macdonald Wakeman

Abstract

An algorithm is described that prices European average options. The algorithm is tested against Monte Carlo estimates and is shown to be accurate. The speed of the algorithm is comparable to the Black-Scholes algorithm. A closed-form solution is derived for European geometric average options.
