Abstract

In this paper, we study the excursion times of a Brownian motion with drift below and above a given level by using a simple two-state semi-Markov model. In mathematical finance, these results have an important application in the valuation of path-dependent options such as Parisian options. Based on our results, we introduce a new type of Parisian options, single-barrier two-sided Parisian options, and give an explicit expression for the Laplace transform of its price formula.
