In this paper we study stochastic models for electricity, gas and temperature markets' contracts with delay and jumps. The basic products in these markets are spot, futures and forward contracts, swaps and options written on these. We concentrate our study on pricing of these kind of contracts....

In this paper, we introduce a new model for the risk process based on general compound Hawkes process (GCHP) for the arrival of claims. We call it risk model based on general compound Hawkes process (RMGCHP). The Law of Large Numbers (LLN) and the Functional Central Limit Theorem (FCLT) are...

In this paper, we study financial markets with stochastic volatilities driven by fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index H1/2. Our models include fractional versions of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, Vasicek, geometric Brownian motion and continuous-time GARCH models. We price variance and volatility...

The valuation of the variance swaps for local Levy based stochastic volatility with delay (LLBSVD) is discussed in this paper. We provide some analytical closed forms for the expectation of the realized variance for the LLBSVD. As applications of our analytical solutions, we fit our model to 10...

In this paper, we show numerically how to calculate the price of bond options, swaps, caps and floors for Levy one-factor stochastic interest rate models via partial integro-differential equations (PIDE). These models include, in particular, Ornshtein-Uhlenbeck (1930), Vasicek (1977),...

We introduce and study a new stochastic SARS model (based on stochastic SIR model with semi-Markov regime-switchings) and investigate its behavior in averaging, merging and diffusion approximation schemes. The main method is based on general theory of random differential equations in semi-Markov...

The valuation of the variance swaps for local stochastic volatility with delay and jumps is discussed in this paper. We provide some analytical closed forms for the expectation of the realized variance for the stochastic volatility with delay and jumps. Besides, we also present a lower bound for...

The jumps in stock market volatility are found to be so active that this discredits many recently proposed stochastic volatility models without jumps (Bollerslev et al (2008)). The most convincing evidence comes from recent nonparametric work using high-frequency data as in Barndorff-Nielsen and...

The Paris agreement in 2016 marks a global effort to limit the increase in temperature. In that spirit, the Federal Government of Canada introduced a carbon tax to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The main goal of this paper is to define the correct approach to carbon pricing. Following the...

In this paper, we introduce an extension to the LIBOR Market model that is suitable to incorporate both sudden market shocks as well as changes in the overall economic climate into the interest rate dynamics. This is achieved by substituting the simple diffusion process of the original LIBOR...
