3 Definition; Some types The payoff of a Barrier option is path dependent More precisely, the payoff depends on whether over the option life the underlying price reaches the barrier; note that this is a simplistic view of things - the stock prices are observed at discrete times and the wording above implies continuous observation of stock prices Knock-out options go out of existence if the asset price reaches the barrier; the variants are down-and-out: has to fall to reach the barrier up-and-out: has to rise to reach the barrier Knock-in options come into existence if the asset price reaches the barrier; the variants are down-and-in: has to fall to reach the barrier up-and-in: has to rise to reach the barrier Some examples of situations when Asian options are useful are: Not that a sum of a knock-in and a knock-out option is equivalent to the ordinary option

28 The Valuation In general, barrier options are cheaper than the otherwise identical ordinary options Under some minor assumptions, it is possible to find the price of the barrier options in the Black-Scholes setting The formula for the price is quite long - but it contains only N as a special function In fact, the up-and-out option s price satisfies the Black-Scholes-Merton partial differential equation (as the price for the ordinary European call) - it is the boundary conditions that are different (they have to account for the barrier) and they complicate matters somewhat
