Abstract

Asian options are path dependent contingent claims whose terminal payoff depends on the average of underlying asset price over some period prior to maturity. Using change of numéraire as a tool, we illustrate how to derive price formulae for the discrete and continuous geometric average Asian options with floating strike price by risk-neutral valuation approach.
