We propose a new model for electricity pricing based on the price cap principle. The particularity of the model is that the asset price is an exponential functional of a jump L\'evy process. This model can capture both mean reversion and…

We analyze various jumps for Heston model, non-IID model and three L\'evy jump models for S&P 500 index options. The L\'evy jump for the S&P 500 index options is inevitable from empirical studies. We estimate parameters from in-sample…
