On perpetual American options in a multidimensional Black-Scholes model

Abstract

We consider the problem of pricing perpetual American options written on dividend-paying assets whose price dynamics follow a multidimensional Black and Scholes model. For convex Lipschitz continuous reward functions, we give a probabilistic characterization of the fair price in terms of a reflected BSDE, and an analytical one in terms of an obstacle problem. We also provide the early exercise premium formula.
