"Hedging in New Financial Markets"
Homepage of the lecture:
https://tiss.tuwien.ac.at/course/courseDetails.xhtml?locale=en&courseNr=105…
Abstract:
In recent years a wide range of new derivatives have emerged to manage
and transfer risk resulting from industries not classically active in
financial markets. The course is an introduction to new markets inc:
electricity, weather and carbon credits. The aim of this course is to
provide an overview of the unique economic and mathematical challenges
posed by new markets.
This course is directed towards researchers, PhD-students, master
students as well as practitioners wishing to explore recent progress in
this field.
German abstract:
In den letzten Jahren ist eine Anzahl von Derivaten entstanden, die zum
Risikomanagement und -transfer benutzt werden, das in Industrien
entsteht, die klassisch nicht auf Finanzmärkten aktiv waren.
Insbesondere wird eine Einführung in neue Märkte gegeben, wie etwa
Elektrizität, Wetter, und CO2 Emissionen. Diese Vorlesung bietet einen
Überblick über die einzigartigen Herausforderungen, die in diesen neuen
Märkten entstehen.
Zielpublikum sind ForscherInnen, DoktorandInnen, MasterstudententInnen,
sowie PraktikerInnen, welche sich über die aktuelle Entwicklung in
diesem Gebiet informieren möchten.
