1 and Hedging Weather Exposure in Electricity Wolfgang Karl Härdle Maria Osipenko Ladislaus von Bortkiewicz Chair of Statistics C.A.S.E. Centre for Applied Statistics and Economics School of Business and Economics Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

2 5 Motivation 1-1 "Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it." Mark Twain

3 5 Motivation 1-2

4 5 Motivation 1-3 log electricity consumption in Kwt per capita cumulated average temperature in C Figure 1: Estimated dependency of log electricity consumption in Germany on cumulative average temperature: , effects of prices and income removed (from Akdeniz Duran et al., 211).

5 5 Motivation 1-4 Future Contracts on Temperature transfer weather related risks, number of agents limited, weather non-tradable, insurance nature, geographically separated markets, spatial relationship.

6 5 Motivation 1-5 Oslo Stockholm Essen Paris Berlin Prague Figure 2: Contracts on 11 cities in Europe are traded on the CME.

7 5 Motivation 1-6 Pricing Model Econometrics of temperature (Benth et al., 27) seasonal function Λ(t) = a + bt + k j=1 { c 2j 1 sin ( ) 2jπt + c 2j cos 365 p-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process X(t): dx(t) = AX(t)dt + e p σ(t)db(t), ( )} 2jπt, 365 (1) B(t) is Brownian motion, e p pth column of I p, σ(t) seasonal variation.

8 5 Motivation 1-7 Pricing Model Price of a future on Cumulative Average Temperature index (CAT): (Benth et al., 27) F CAT (t,τ1,τ 2 ) = τ2 + + τ 1 Λ(u)du + a(t)x(t) (2) τ1 t τ2 τ 1 θ(u)σ(u)a(u)e p du θ(u)σ(u)e 1 A 1 [exp {A(τ 2 u)} I p ] e p du. with a(t) = e 1 A 1 [exp {A(τ 2 t)} exp {A(τ 1 t)}] MPR θ(t) unknown for specific locations.

9 5 Motivation 1-8 Pricing Temperature around the Globe θ(t) varies across locations. Connect θ(t) to a known risk factor! Spatial model to interpolate for other locations. How can FPCA help pricing an arbitrary location?

10 5 Motivation 1-9 Outline 1. Motivation 2. Spatial Model for Risk Premium Functional Principal Components (FPCA) Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) 3. Empirical Risk Premia and Hedging Weather Exposure 4. Outlook

11 5 Spatial Model for Risk Premium 2-1 Risk Premium Given (2) the RP at t = τ 1 for ith location and jth contract (RP ij ): RP ij (t = τ 1, τ 2 ) = F CAT,ij (θ i, t = τ 1, τ 2 ) F CAT,ij (, t = τ 1, τ 2 ) + ε ij, = τ2 τ 1 θ i (u)σ ij (u)e 1 A 1 i [exp {A i (τ 2 u)} I p ] e p du + ε ij. F CAT,ij (, t = τ 1, τ 2 ) estimated price for jth contract in ith location, zero MPR, A i is the matrix of O-U-Process coefficients for the ith location and ε ij noise.

12 5 Spatial Model for Risk Premium 2-2 a functional regression set up with scalar response: w i (t) def = e 1 A 1 [exp {A(τ 2 t)} I p ] e p and θw i (t) = θ(t)w i (t): RP ij (τ 1, τ 2 ) = τ2 τ 1 θ i w (u)σ ij (u)du + ε ij. Regress RP on PC scores of σ(t) for dimension reduction. Note θ i w (t) contains location dependent parameters, need spatial setting.

13 5 Spatial Model for Risk Premium 2-3 Functional Principal Components 1. Decompose σ ij (t) = {σ ij (t) σ i (t)} + σ i (t), σ ij (t) variation curve for ith location and jth month, σ i (t) average curve for ith location. RP ij = τ2 τ 1 τ2 + τ 1 θ i w (u) σ i (u)du θw i (u) {σ ij (u) σ i (u)} du. }{{} FPCA for σ ij 2. Perform FPCA: derive scores for temperature variation

14 5 Spatial Model for Risk Premium 2-4 PC Scores PC scores for functions σ ij (t) i = 1,..., 9 (9 cities), j = 1,..., 7 (7 traded months): c ijk = τ2 τ 1 ξ ik (t) {σ ij (t) σ i (t)} dt, c ijk scores for K largest eigenvalues, ξ ik (t) orthonormal eigenfunctions of Cov{σ( )} operator. Collect scores capturing the variance in the data in matrix C. Parametrize the relationship to RP by geographically weighted regression.

15 5 Spatial Model for Risk Premium Regress the response RP ij at t = τ 1 on the PC scores (Ramsay & Silverman, 28): RP ij = β i + τ2 K τ 1 k=1 β ik ξ ik (t){σ ij (t) σ i (t)}dt + ε ij for ith location and jth month, with ε ij containing ε ij and the truncation error resulting from taking first K PC scores. Functional form of MPR: θ i w (t) = k β ikξ ik (t) Need spatial model for regression on PC scores. APPENDIX

16 5 Spatial Model for Risk Premium 2-6 Spatial Specification: GWR Why GWR (Fotheringham et al., 22)? distance based weights, nonstationarity over space, local nature of spatial dependence.

17 5 Spatial Model for Risk Premium 2-7 GWR: the Model W 1 2 i RP = W 1 2 i Cβ i + e i, e i vector of iid errors, RP = (RP 1,1, RP 2,1,..., RP n,1, RP 1,2,......, RP n,7 ), c 1,1,1... c 1,1,K C = c 2,1,1... c 1,1,K c n,7,1... c n,7,k n total number of locations K number of PC scores

18 5 Spatial Model for Risk Premium 2-8 GWR: the Model W i = diag(w i ), i = 1,..., n [ { w i = diag exp 1 ( ) } { 2 di1 2 h,..., exp 1 2 h = arg min h H 7n m=1 { RP m RP m (h)} 2, ( din h ) 2 }] with d il, l = 1,..., n euclidean distances to ith city, RP m (h) estimated RP without the mth value using h.,
