A non‐Gaussian Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process for electricity spot price modeling and derivatives pricing

FE Benth, J Kallsen… - Applied Mathematical …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
A mean‐reverting model is proposed for the spot price dynamics of electricity which includes
seasonality of the prices and spikes. The dynamics is a sum of non‐Gaussian Ornstein–…

[BOOK][B] Stochastic modelling of electricity and related markets

FE Benth, JS Benth, S Koekebakker - 2008 - books.google.com
The markets for electricity, gas and temperature have distinctive features, which provide the
focus for countless studies. For instance, electricity and gas prices may soar several …

Futures pricing in electricity markets based on stable CARMA spot models

FE Benth, C Klüppelberg, G Müller, L Vos - Energy Economics, 2014 - Elsevier
We present a new model for the electricity spot price dynamics, which is able to capture
seasonality, low-frequency dynamics and extreme spikes in the market. Instead of the usual …

Stochastic modelling of temperature variations with a view towards weather derivatives

FE Benth, J Šaltytė‐Benth - Applied mathematical finance, 2005 - Taylor & Francis
Daily average temperature variations are modelled with a mean‐reverting Ornstein–Uhlenbeck
process driven by a generalized hyperbolic Lévy process and having seasonal mean …

The volatility of temperature and pricing of weather derivatives

FE Benth, J Benth - Quantitative Finance, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
We propose an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process with seasonal volatility to model the time
dynamics of daily average temperatures. The model is fitted to approximately 45 years of daily …

Stochastic modeling of financial electricity contracts

FE Benth, S Koekebakker - Energy Economics, 2008 - Elsevier
We discuss the modeling of electricity contracts traded in many deregulated power markets.
These forward/futures type contracts deliver (either physically or financially) electricity over a …

Pricing forward contracts in power markets by the certainty equivalence principle: Explaining the sign of the market risk premium

FE Benth, Á Cartea, R Kiesel - Journal of banking & finance, 2008 - Elsevier
In this paper we provide a framework that explains how the market risk premium, defined as
the difference between forward prices and spot forecasts, depends on the risk preferences of …

[BOOK][B] Modeling and pricing in financial markets for weather derivatives

FE Benth, J Saltyte-Benth - 2012 - books.google.com
… Finally, Fred Espen Benth acknowledges the financial support from the project “Managing
Weather Risk in Electricity Markets (MAWREM)” funded by the Norwegian Research Council …

A critical empirical study of three electricity spot price models

FE Benth, R Kiesel, A Nazarova - Energy Economics, 2012 - Elsevier
We conduct an empirical analysis of three recently proposed and widely used models for
electricity spot price process. The first model, called the jump-diffusion model, was proposed by …

Putting a price on temperature

FE Benth, J Šaltytė Benth… - Scandinavian Journal of …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
This paper analyzes the weather derivatives traded at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME),
with futures and options written on different temperature indices. We propose to model …
