Abstract

In this paper, we propose an estimator for pricing high-dimensional American-style options and show that asymptotically its upper bias converges to zero. An advantage of the proposed estimator is that when combined with low discrepancy sequences, it exhibits a superior rate of convergence. Numerical examples are conducted to demonstrate its efficiency.
