Abstract

This work illustrates how several new pricing expressions for exotic options can be derived within a Lévy framework by employing a unique pricing expression. To the purpose, a unifying formula is obtained by solving some nested Cauchy problem for pseudodifferential equations generalizing Black–Scholes PDE. The main result extends Agliardi R, 2009, and is a powerful tool for generating new valuation expressions. Several examples of pricing formulas under the Lévy processes are provided to illustrate the flexibility of the method. Some of them are new in the financial literature. Finally, many existing pricing formulas of the traditional Gaussian model are easily obtained as a by-product.
