Indifference Pricing for Power Utilities

چکیده
We study utility indifference pricing of claim streams with intertemporal consumption and power (CRRA) utilities. We derive explicit formulas for the derivatives of the utility indifference price with respect to claims and wealth. The simple structure of these formulas is a reflection of surprising operator identities for the derivatives of the optimal consumption stream. For example, the partial derivative of the optimal consumption stream with respect to the endowment is always a projection. Furthermore, it is an orthogonal projection with respect to a natural ”economic inner product”. We find that the indifference price is a highly non-linear function of the wealth and obtain its asymptotic behavior when the claims to wealth ratio is either very small or very large. In the large claims to wealth ratio limit, the asymptotic expansion of the indifference price is given in terms of fractional powers of the wealth. We also obtain sharp global bounds for the indifference price.

متن کاملApproximate Solutions for Indifference Pricing under General Utility Functions
With the aid of Taylor-based approximations, this paper presents results for pricing insurance contracts by using indifference pricing under general utility functions. We discuss the connection between the resulting “theoretical” indifference prices and the pricing rule-of-thumb that practitioners use: Best Estimate plus a “Market Value Margin”. Furthermore, we compare our approximations with k...

متن کاملIndifference Prices and Related Measures
The traditional approach towards derivative pricing consists of dynamically replicating a future liability by trading the assets on which that liability is written. However, the assumption that one can trade the assets is often rather restrictive. In some cases, say of options on commodities or funds, one can at best trade another correlated asset. In others, as in the case of basket options, e...

India seeks to achieve 175 Giga-Watt (GW) of Renewable power by 2022. As of December 2017, out of 333 GW of total installed capacity of electricity, close to 62GW come from renewable sources. Meeting the set targets calls for augmentation of renewable energy based capacities as expeditiously as possible. However, the sick financial health of the distribution companies/utilities, who act a...
