Abstract: For a spectrally negative L'evy process X, we study the following distribution: mathbb{E}_x left[ mathrm{e}^{- q int_0^t mathbf{1}_{(a,b)} (X_s) mathrm{d}s } ; X_t in mathrm{d}y ight], where inftyleqa<b<infty, and where q,t>0 and xinmathbbR. More precisely, we identify the Laplace transform with respect to t of this measure in terms of the scale functions of the underlying process. Our results are then used to price step options and the particular case of an exponential spectrally negative L'evy jump-diffusion model is discussed.
