Stochastic Models for Pricing Weather Derivatives using Constant Risk Premium

نویسندگان

چکیده مقاله:

‎Pricing weather derivatives is becoming increasingly useful‎, ‎especially in developing economies‎. ‎We describe a statistical model based approach for pricing  weather derivatives by modeling and forecasting daily average temperatures data which exhibits long-range dependence‎. ‎We pre-process the temperature data by filtering for seasonality and volatility and fit autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) models‎, ‎employing the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) algorithm for fast computation of the likelihood function‎. ‎We illustrate our approach using daily temperatures data from 1970 to 2008 for cities traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)‎, ‎which we employ for pricing degree days futures contracts‎. ‎We compare the statistical approach with traditional burn analysis using a simple additive risk loading principle for pricing‎, ‎where‎ ‎the risk premium is estimated by the method of least squares using data on observed prices and the corresponding estimate of prices from the best model we fit to the temperatures data.

Pricing Weather Derivatives

SPRING 2000 T he impact of weather on business activities is enormous and varies both geographically and seasonally. For example, the 1982-1983 and 1997-1998 El Niño conditions were associated with warm winters in the eastern and midwestern U.S., resulting in significant energy cost savings for consumers and businesses. In addition, these conditions suppressed hurricane activities in the Atlant...

Pricing of Volatility Derivatives using 3/2- Stochastic Models

Analytic solutions are found for prices of both variance and volatility swaps and VIX options under new 3/2stochastic models for the dynamics of the underlying assets. The main features of the new stochastic differential equations are an empirically validated cν diffusion term, a nonlinear drift providing a balancing effect of a stronger mean reversion with high volatility, and for the case of ...

Fair Pricing of Weather Derivatives

This paper proposes a consistent approach to the pricing of weather derivatives. Since weather derivatives are traded in an incomplete market setting, standard hedging based pricing methods cannot be applied. The growth optimal portfolio, which is interpreted as a world stock index, is used as a benchmark or numeraire such that all benchmarked derivative price processes are martingales. No meas...

Benchmark Pricing of Weather Derivatives∗

This paper proposes an integrated approach to price weather derivatives based on the existence of an optimal benchmark portfolio for discrete time modelling. This portfolio, known as the growth optimal portfolio, when used as the numeraire ensures all benchmarked price processes are supermartingales. No further measure transformation is needed for the pricing of derivatives in a fair market, in...

Model Risk in the Pricing of Weather Derivatives

Temperature modelling is a major issue for valuation of weather derivatives. Goodness of fit is usually assessed from historical data. However, estimation errors can result in large price uncertainty that may be problematic for practical applications. In this paper, we consider a temperature ARMA model and quantify the price uncertainties for weather Futures and weather options. Each price is s...

New solvable stochastic volatility models for pricing volatility derivatives

Classical solvable stochastic volatility models (SVM) use a CEV process for instantaneous variance where the CEV parameter γ takes just few values: 0 the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, 1/2 the Heston (or square root) process, 1GARCH, and 3/2 the 3/2 model. Some other models were discovered in Henry-Labordére (2009) by making connection between stochastic volatility and solvable diffusion processes...
