Book Review: 'Stochastic Modeling of Electricity and Related Markets', by F. Benth, J, Benth and S.  Koekebakker, 2008, World, Sci. Publ.; Chapter 4:  Pricing of Forwards and Swaps Based on the Spot Price; Sec. 4.3-4.4: Pricing Forwards and Swaps for Arithmetic and Geometric Models

In this talk, we derive forward and swap prices from the arithmetic and geometric spot models investigated in the previous talk. The approach will be based on the calculation of the predicted spot price under risk-neutral probability. This probability will be constructed using the Esscher transform.
