Dopo aver compreso come il cambiamento climatico non colpisca tutti i settori economici alla stessa maniera e come gli strumenti finanziari già esistenti non siano in grado di soddisfare il bisogno di hedging dei rischi climatici, una possible soluzione è stata individuata nei climate derivatives. Un mercato per questi strumenti finanziari innovativi ancora non esiste in quanto sono stati solo progettati a livello teorico. Una volta esaminata la letteratura dei climate derivatives evidenziando punti di forza e di debolezza di ogni prototipo presentato, un metodo alternativo per il pricing di un tipo di derivato climatico, ovvero la temperature option, è proposto e testato attraverso simulazioni su Matlab.

Abstract
After having realized that climate change does not affect all economic sectors in the same way and that financial instruments already existing are not able to fulfill the need of hedging climate risks, a possible solution has been found in climate derivatives. A market for these novel financial instruments still does not exist: they have been only theoretically conceived. Once explored the literature of climate derivatives and highlighted strengths and weaknesses of each prototype presented, an alternative pricing method for a type of climate derivative, namely temperature option, is proposed and tested through Matlab simulations.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
