Abstract:

Mitigating and hedging the weather risk via a derivative policy is a vital financial option for agricultural producers and other business sectors to strategically adapt to the climate change This study has provided an approach to pricing cooling degree days (CDD) index and applies historical daily temperature data of Beijing from 1952 to 2008 to a call option model, in order to explore its feasibility in practical use

Key words: weather derivative, pricing, cooling degree days, call option, empirical study
