Abstract
We present closed analytical approximations for the pricing of Asian options
with discrete averaging under the Black-Scholes model with time-dependent
parameters. The formulae are obtained by using a stochastic Taylor expansion
around a log-normal proxy model and are found to be highly accurate in
practice.
