Abstract

In this paper, we study the pricing problem of multi-exercise options under volume constraints. The volume constraint is modelled by an adapted process with values in the positive integers, which describes the maximal number of rights to be exercised at a given time. We derive a representation of the marginal value of an additional nth right as a standard single stopping problem with a modified cash-flow process. This representation then leads to a dual pricing formula, which generalizes a result by Meinshausen and Hambly (Math. Finance 14:557–583, 2004) from the standard multi-exercise option (with at most one right per time step) to general constraints. We also state an explicit Monte Carlo algorithm for computing confidence intervals for the price of multi-exercise options under volume constraints and present numerical results for the pricing of a swing contract in an electricity market.
