Abstract

In this study, we introduce and validate a novel approach for pricing American-style options. Our model integrates stochastic volatility with a double exponential jump-diffusion process and incorporates a memory feature in the volatility component. We analyze the structure of the proposed model and demonstrate its accuracy and precision using real data from the $S\&P$ 500 index. Our results show that the model effectively captures market dynamics and provides a more accurate pricing of American options compared to traditional models.
