We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution to certain reflected backward stochastic differential equations (RBSDEs) with one continuous barrier and deterministic terminal time, under monotonicity, and general increasing growth conditions on the associated coefficient. As an application, we obtain, in some constraint cases, the price of an American contingent claim as the unique solution of such an RBSDE.
