  2. 6. Modelling Weather Dynamics for Weather Derivatives Pricing

    Author : Emanuel Evarest Sinkwembe; Martin Singull; Xiangfeng Yang; Fredrik Berntsson; Erik Lindström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on developing an appropriate stochastic model for temperature dynamics as a means of pricing weather derivative contracts based on temperature. There are various methods for pricing weather derivatives ranging from simple one like historical burn analysis, which does not involve modeling the underlying weather variable to complex ones that require Monte Carlo simulations to achieve explicit weather derivatives contract prices, particularly the daily average temperature (DAT) dynamics models.

    Abstract : This thesis consists of five empirical essays dealing with different issues related to financial markets. Chapter 2 studies a new multivariate technique, Orthogonal GARCH, of forecasting large covariance matrices based on GARCH models. READ MORE

  5. 8. Three Essays on Electricity Spot and Financial Derivative Prices at the Nordic Power Exchange

    Author : Daniel Deng; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Nord Pool; market efficiency; cointegration; rational expectation competitive storage model; BDS test; Hsiehâ??s third order moment test; nonlinear causality; EGARCH; convenience yield; call option;

    Abstract : Essay I examines the market efficiency issues at the Nord Pool power exchange in the September 1995 - July 2002 period. A unique characteristic of this electricity exchange is the high hydropower proportion in the traded electricity; water in the hydro reservoir acting as hydropower inventory therefore plays an important role in the pricing of electricity.

  6. 9. The market impact of short-sale constraints

    Author : Roland Nilsson; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The thesis addresses two areas of research within financial economics: empirical asset pricing and the borderline area between finance and economics with emphasis on econometrical methods. The empirical asset pricing section considers the effects of short-sale constraints on both the stock market as well as the derivatives market. READ MORE

  7. 10. Asymptotic Analysis of Hedging Errors Induced by Discrete Time Hedging

    Author : Mats Brodén; Matematisk statistik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Discrete time hedging; discretization error; L2 convergence; Non-linear Kalman filters; Calibration;

    Abstract : The first part of this thesis deals with approximations of stochastic integrals and discrete time hedging of derivative contracts; two closely related subjects. Paper A considers the problem of approximating the value of a Wiener process. READ MORE
