Electricity swing options are Bermudan-style path-dependent derivatives on electrical energy. We consider an electricity market driven by several exogenous risk factors and formulate the pricing problem for a class of swing option contracts with energy and power limits as well as ramping constraints. Efficient numerical solution of the arising multistage stochastic program requires aggregation ...

We consider a limit price of basket options in a large portfolio where the dynamics of basket assets is described as a CEV jump diffusion system. The explicit representation of the limiting price is established using weak convergence of empirical measure valued processes generated by the system. As an application, the closed-form formula of the limit price is derived when the price dynamics of ...

Lange’s case for partiality proceeds two steps. First, he presents a hypothetical example that commonly elicits intuitions favourable partiality. Second, invokes symmetry consider...
