Abstract

The standard Black-Scholes approach to option valuation becomes cumbersome and may fail to yield a solution when applied to non-standard options such as those emerging in water markets. An alternative tool, numerical quadrature, avoids some restrictive assumptions of the Black-Scholes framework and can more easily price options with complex structures.
