摘要

This paper is a sequel to our previous paper A New Paradigm in Asset Pricing in which we construct a model for asset pricing in a world where the randomness is modeled by a Markov chain. In this paper we develop a theory of optimal stopping and related variational inequalities for American options in this model. A version of Saigal%26apos;s Lemma is established and numerical results obtained.
