We derive the implied volatility estimation formula in European power call options pricing, where the payoff functions are in the form of $V=(S^α_T-K)^{+}$ and $V=(S^α_T-K^α)^{+}$ ($α>0$)respectively. Using quadratic Taylor approximations, We develop the computing formula of implied volatility in European power call op…

Develops European power option pricing under correlated interest rate and asset processes.

Study on time-zero efficiency of European power derivatives markets using statistical tests and trading rules.

This paper presents hedging strategies for European and exotic options in a Levy market. By applying Taylor's Theorem, dynamic hedging portfolios are con- structed under different market assumptions, such as the existence of power jump assets or moment swaps. In the case of European options or baskets of European optio…

The energy transition is well underway in most European countries. It has a growing impact on electric power systems as it dramatically modifies the way electricity is produced. To ensure a safe and smooth transition towards a pan-European electricity production dominated by renewable sources, it is of paramount import…

We propose a general framework for the simultaneous modeling of equity, government bonds, corporate bonds and derivatives. Uncertainty is generated by a general affine Markov process. The setting allows for stochastic volatility, jumps, the possibility of default and correlation between different assets. We show how to…

Study compares two market clearing methods for European power markets.

We consider the problem of exponential utility indifference valuation under the simplified framework where traded and nontraded assets are uncorrelated but where the claim to be priced possibly depends on both. Traded asset prices follow a multivariate Black and Scholes model, while nontraded asset prices evolve as gen…

Study of gamma-hedging using rough paths for European and exotic options.

This paper considers the valuation of a European call option under the Heston stochastic volatility model. We present the asymptotic solution to the option pricing problem in powers of the volatility of variance. Then we introduce the artificial boundary method for solving the problem on a truncated domain, and derive …

New model for pricing volatility derivatives considering rough volatility and jumps.

In this paper we introduce an additive two-factor model for electricity futures prices based on Normal Inverse Gaussian Lévy processes, that fulfills a no-overlapping-arbitrage (NOA) condition. We compute European option prices by Fourier transform methods, introduce a specific calibration procedure that takes into acc…

Kristensen and Mele (2011) developed a new approach to obtain closed-form approximations to continuous-time derivatives pricing models. The approach uses a power series expansion of the pricing bias between an intractable model and some known auxiliary model. Since the resulting approximation formula has closed-form it…

In this article, a compact finite difference method is proposed for pricing European and American options under jump-diffusion models. Partial integro-differential equation and linear complementary problem governing European and American options respectively are discretized using Crank-Nicolson Leap-Frog scheme. In pro…

We develop series expansions in powers of $q^{-1}$ and $q^{-1/2}$ of solutions of the equation $ψ(z) = q$, where $ψ(z)$ is the Laplace exponent of a hyperexponential Lévy process. As a direct consequence we derive analytic expressions for the prices of European call and put options and their Greeks (Theta, Delta, and G…

Fossil power firms have recently profited more than renewables, but this may be a temporary phenomenon.

Using Maple, we compute some analytical solutions of a modified Black-Scholes equation, recently proposed, in the case of the European put option. We show that the modified Black-Scholes equation with the European put option is exactly solvable in terms of associated Laguerre polynomials. We make some numerical experim…

We analyze the European transition economies and show that time series for most of major indices exhibit (i) power-law correlations in their values, power-law correlations in their magnitudes, and (iii) asymmetric probability distribution. We propose a stochastic model that can generate time series with all the previou…

We derive asymptotic expansions for the prices of a variety of European and barrier-style claims in a general local-stochastic volatility setting. Our method combines Taylor series expansions of the diffusion coefficients with an expansion in the correlation parameter between the underlying asset and volatility process…

Quantum algorithm for pricing European call options.

In this paper analytic formulas for electricity derivatives are calculated. To this end, we assume that electricity spot prices follow a 3-regime Markov regime-switching model with independent spikes and drops and periodic transition matrix. Since the classical derivatives pricing methodology cannot be used in case of …

Low redispatch prices boost green hydrogen production cost, encouraging electrolyzer siting.

A stochastic model for pure-jump diffusion (the compound renewal process) can be used as a zero-order approximation and as a phenomenological description of tick-by-tick price fluctuations. This leads to an exact and explicit general formula for the martingale price of a European call option. A complete derivation of t…

In the context of a Black-Scholes economy and with a no-arbitrage argument, we derive arbitrarily accurate lower and upper bounds for the value of European options on a stock paying a discrete dividend. Setting the option price error below the smallest monetary unity, both bounds coincide, and we obtain the exact value…

We consider a general local-stochastic volatility model and an investor with exponential utility. For a European-style contingent claim, whose payoff may depend on either a traded or non-traded asset, we derive an explicit approximation for both the buyer's and seller's indifference price. For European calls on a trade…

We develop an entropic framework to model the dynamics of stocks and European Options. Entropic inference is an inductive inference framework equipped with proper tools to handle situations where incomplete information is available. The objective of the paper is to lay down an alternative framework for modeling dynamic…

We propose a model for the joint evolution of European inflation, the European Central Bank official interest rate and the short-term interest rate, in a stochastic, continuous time setting. We derive the valuation equation for a contingent claim depending potentially on all three factors. This valuation equation reduc…

The paradox of the energy transition is that the low marginal costs of new renewable energy sources (RES) drag electricity prices down and discourage investments in flexible productions that are needed to compensate for the lack of dispatchability of the new RES. The energy transition thus discourages the investments t…

This paper extends static hedging for European options over multiple maturities.

We derive a recursive formula for arithmetic Asian option prices with finite observation times in semimartingale models. The method is based on the relationship between the risk-neutral expectation of the quadratic variation of the return process and European option prices. The computation of arithmetic Asian option pr…

We consider a financial market with liquidity cost as in Çetin, Jarrow and Protter [2004], where the supply function $S^ε(s,ν)$ depends on a parameter $ε\geq 0$ with $S^0(s,ν)=s$ corresponding to the perfect liquid situation. Using the PDE characterization of Çetin, Soner and Touzi [2010] of the super-hedging cost of a…

Closed-form pricing method for multi-asset options.

We consider the problem of finding a model-free upper bound on the price of an American put given the prices of a family of European puts on the same underlying asset. Specifically we assume that the American put must be exercised at either $T_1$ or $T_2$ and that we know the prices of all vanilla European puts with th…

The Black-Scholes model (sometimes known as the Black-Scholes-Merton model) gives a theoretical estimate for the price of European options. The price evolution under this model is described by the Black-Scholes formula, one of the most well-known formulas in mathematical finance. For their discovery, Merton and Scholes…
