Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it serves to describe a new strategy, called Structured Database Monte Carlo (SDMC), for efficient Monte Carlo simulation. Its second aim is to show how this approach can be used for efficient pricing of path-dependent options via simulation. We use efficient simulation of a sample of path-dependent options to illustrate the application of SDMC. Extensions to other path-dependent options are straightforward.
