In this paper we consider the following optimal stopping problem V A ω (s) = sup τ ∈ T E s [ e - ∫ 0 τ ω (S w) d w g (S τ) ] , where the process S t is a jump-diffusion process, T is a family of stopping times while g and ω are fixed payoff function and discount function, respectively. In a financial market context, if g (s) = (K - s) + or g (s) = (s - K) + and E is the expectation taken with respect to a martingale measure, V A ω (s) describes the price of a perpetual American option with a discount rate depending on the value of the asset process S t . If ω is a constant, the above problem produces the standard case of pricing perpetual American options. In the first part of this paper we find sufficient conditions for the convexity of the value function V A ω (s) . This allows us to determine the stopping region as a certain interval and hence we are able to identify the form of V A ω (s) . We also present a put-call symmetry for American options with asset-dependent discounting. In the case when S t is a spectrally negative geometric Lévy process we give exact expressions using the so-called omega scale functions introduced in [30]. We show that the analysed value function satisfies the HJB equation and we give sufficient conditions for the smooth fit property as well. Finally, we present a few examples for which we obtain the analytical form of the value function V A ω (s) . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
