ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study is to verify the efficiency and the applicability of the Least-Squares Monte Carlo method for pricing American interest rate options. Results suggest that this technique is a promising alternative to evaluate American-style interest rate options. It provides accurate option price estimates which are very close to results provided by a binomial model. Besides, actual implementation can be easily adapted to accept different interest rate models.
