12.5 The Continuous Time Homogeneous Semi-Markov
JMD Model For The Underlying Asset
With the generalisation of electronic trading systems, it seems more adapted to
construct a time continuous model for which the changes in the values of the
underlying process may depend on the time it remained unchanged before a
transition.
Also, let
(( , ) 0,1,...)
nn
ST n
(12.18)
be the successive states and time changes of the considered asset.
The Janssen-Manca semi-Markov continuous model without AOA starts from the
basic assumption that the process (12.18) is a semi-Markov process of kernel
Q.
It follows that, at time t in state S(t)=S
t
, the market value of the considered
European option with maturity Tt
has as probability distribution at maturity

Of course, the matrix ( )t
Φ represents the transition probabilities for the
considered semi-Markov process (see Chapter 3, relation (10.2))
This result gives the possibility to compute all interesting parameters concerning
