  • Abstract
    A numerical approximation method for the valuation of multivariate contingent claims is presented. It extends the Trigeorgis´ (1991) log-transformed binomial approach for one asset to more general case of several assets. The proposed method overcomes the problems of poor consistency, stability and efficiency inherent in the Boyle, Evinie and Gibbs (1989) approach. It can achieve the similar performance as that of the Ekvall (1996) approach while alleviates its difficulty in maintaining reasonable up- and down-jump sizes.
