Following the liberalization of global energy markets, the world has witnessed a substantial growth in energy commodity trading. Moreover, prices and volatilities have significantly increased, partly due to geopolitical crises, but mostly resulting from increased participation of financial investors. Such newfound interest in energy markets has spawned greater demand for state-of-the-art models and methods necessary to understand the challenges related to trading and risk management. Energy Pricing Models showcases original cutting-edge research to best illustrate the latest advances and future implications of trading in energy markets. Prokopczuk assembles an all-star team of leading academics and practitioners in order to provide a well-balanced analysis of the topic. This work is required reading for market practitioners wishing to gain greater insight into the field, as well as academics and researchers interested in learning more about the latest developments from an applied perspective.
Modeling the dynamics of energy markets has become a challenging task. The intensification of their financialization since 2004 had made them more complex but also more integrated with other tradable asset classes. More importantly, their large and frequent fluctuations in terms of both prices and volatility, particularly in the aftermath of the global financial crisis 2008-2009, posit difficulties for modeling and forecasting energy price behavior and are primary sources of concerns for macroeconomic stability and general economic performance.This handbook aims to advance the debate on the theories and practices of quantitative energy finance while shedding light on innovative results and technical methods applied to energy markets. Its primary focus is on the recent development and applications of mathematical and quantitative approaches for a better understanding of the stochastic processes that drive energy market movements. The handbook is designed for not only graduate students and researchers but also practitioners and policymakers.
