We present an explicit formula and a multinomial approach for pricing contingent claims under a regime-switching jump–diffusion model. The explicit formula, obtained as anexpectation of Merton-type formulae for jump–diffusion processes, allows to compute theprice of European options in the case of a two-regime economy with lognormal jumps,while the multinomial approach allows to accommodate an arbitrary number of regimesand a generic jump size distribution, and is suitable for pricing American-style options.The latter algorithm discretizes log-returns in each regime independently, starting fromthe highest volatility regime where a recombining multinomial lattice is established. Inthe remaining regimes, lattice nodes are the same but branching probabilities are adjusted.Derivative prices are computed by a backward induction scheme.
