I have a two-part question regarding American option pricing:
Which analytic approximation is currently considered the most accurate for valuing American options with discrete cash dividends?
In the absence of a dedicated discrete model, what are the primary pricing discrepancies and risks associated with substituting discrete dividends with a continuous dividend yield?

you'll miss the "break" of the GBM, misprice has there's no jump ex-date time just a smooth continuous yield, undervalue calls, mismatched greeks and depending on the dividends schedules e.g., FTSE, SPX, NIKKEI there will be wider gaps
