Pricing Temperature Derivatives under a Time-Changed Levy Model
The objective of the paper is to price weather contracts using temperature as the underlying process when the later follows a mean-reverting dynamics driven by a time-changed Brownian motion coupled to a Gamma Levy subordinator and time-dependent deterministic volatility. This type of model captures the complexity of the temperature dynamic providing a more accurate valuation of their associate weather contracts. An approximated price is obtained by a Fourier expansion of its characteristic function combined with a selection of the equivalent martingale measure following the Esscher transform proposed in Gerber and Shiu (1994).

Valuation of asset and volatility derivatives using decoupled time-changed L\'evy processes
In this paper we propose a general derivative pricing framework which employs decoupled time-changed (DTC) L\'evy processes to model the underlying asset of contingent claims. A DTC L\'evy process is a generalized time-c…
Hedging crop yields against weather uncertainties -- a weather derivative perspective
The effects of weather on agriculture in recent years have become a major global concern. Hence, the need for an effective weather risk management tool (i.e., weather derivatives) that can hedge crop yields against weath…
ManagementOptimal semi-static hedging in illiquid markets
We study indifference pricing of exotic derivatives by using hedging strategies that take static positions in quoted derivatives but trade the underlying and cash dynamically over time. We use real quotes that come with …
Approximate Pricing of Derivatives Under Fractional Stochastic Volatility Model
We investigate the problem of pricing derivatives under a fractional stochastic volatility model. We obtain an approximate expression of the derivative price where the stochastic volatility can be composed of determinist…
Derivatives pricing using signature payoffs
We introduce signature payoffs, a family of path-dependent derivatives that are given in terms of the signature of the price path of the underlying asset. We show that these derivatives are dense in the space of continuo…
