Abstract

We show that shortfall risks of American options in a sequence of multinomial approximations of the multidimensional Black-Scholes (BS) market converge to the corresponding quantities for similar American options in the multidimensional BS market with path-dependent payoffs. In comparison to previous papers we consider the multiassets case for which we use the weak convergence approach.
