Local sensitivity analysis of heating degree day and cooling degree day temperature derivative prices
研究了采暖度日和制冷度日温度期货及期权价格对去季节化温度或其导数扰动的局部敏感性,并基于纽约温度数据进行了实证分析。
We study the local sensitivity of heating degree day (HDD) and cooling degree day (CDD) temperature futures and option prices with respect to perturbations in the deseasonalized temperature or in one of its derivatives up to a certain order determined by the continuous-time autoregressive process modelling the deseasonalized temperature in the HDD and CDD indexes. We also consider an empirical case where a continuous-time process of autoregressive order 3 is fitted to New York temperatures and we perform a study of the local sensitivity of these financial contracts and a posterior analysis of the results.
