Asian options under one-sided Lévy models. (English) Zbl 1266.91109
Summary: We generalize, in terms of power series, the celebrated Geman-Yor formula for the pricing of Asian options in the framework of spectrally negative Lévy-driven assets. We illustrate our result by providing some new examples.
