This paper presents a model linking two financial markets (stocks and bonds) with real business cycle, in the framework of the Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model with Generalized Isoelastic Preferences. Besides interest rate term spread, the model includes a new variable to forecast...

We present a new model for pricing electricity swaps. Two general factors affect all contracts but unique risk factors affect each contract. General factors are average swap prices and deterministic trend-seasonal components, and unique factors are forward premiums. Innovations follow MNIG...

Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) play a significant role in deploying renewable energy, a crucial development to meet climate change challenges. Participants set the PPA price through opaque negotiation processes. We present novel, replicable, and transparent financial models to compute the PPA...

This paper deduces the optimal futures position for hedging joint price and production risks of a renewable Power Purchase Agreement. We develop static and dynamic closed-form and numerical copula-based hedging formulas and test the models employing exchange-traded electricity futures contracts...

In this paper we have studied the ability of relatively standard equilibrium asset pricing models to explain two important empirical regularities of asset returns extensively documented in the literature: i) returns can be predicted by a set of macro variables; and ii) returns are very volatile....
