Abstract

This article derives a closed-form pricing formula for European exchange options under a non-Gaussian framework for the underlying assets, intending to resolve mispricing associated with a geometric Brownian motion. The dynamics of each of the two correlated underlying assets are assumed to be governed by the exponential of a skew-Brownian motion, which is specified as a sum of a standard Brownian motion and an independent reflected Brownian motion. The proposed pricing formula does not incur additional computational costs than the standard Black–Scholes framework, which one can quickly recover as a particular case of the proposed framework. Finally, we present some numerical experiments followed by a valuable discussion on the results.
