Valuation of Options When Underlying Assets are Non-tradable(1/3)

One of the most difficult features of pricing weather derivatives is that the mar-ket is incomplete. This project presents a new method for pricing weather deriva-tives in an incomplete market. The proposed method has two advantages shown in only a few of the models discussed in other weather-related articles. First, the method for pricing assets in an incomplete market is used to overcome the non-tradable feature of the underlying assets of the weather derivatives in which the no-arbitrage method breaks down. Second, an efficient analytical method is incor-porated into the proposed model to make the Asian-type payout of weather deriva-tives much easier to evaluate than by any other numerical methods
