Abstract: In this paper we study and implement a finite difference version of the augmented
state variable approach proposed by Hull & White (1993) that allows for pathdependent
securities. We apply the method to a class of path-dependent interest
rate derivatives and consider several examples including mortgage backed securities
and collateralized mortgage obligations. The efficiency of the method is assessed in
a comparative study with Monte Carlo simulation and we find it to be faster for a
similar accuracy.
