Abstract

I derive closed-form expressions for the value of American call and put options (on an asset with continuous yield) using the Feynman-Kac formula, modelling the size of early exercise premium as a function of the strike, dividend yield and time to maturity. Strategies involving European options and binary options on forwards on the asset replicate an American option exactly. Violations of Put-Call parity for American options is also explored in this framework.
