Abstract

A finite element method and a simple lattice method are proposed for numerical valuation of American options under a regime switching model. Their stability estimates are established. Numerical results are presented to compare our methods and to examine their accuracy for various combinations of parameters. The dependency of early exercise prices and option prices on parameters are also investigated numerically.
