3. Intro Models for Pricing Energy Derivatives Formulated in Terms of the Spot Energy Price Derivatives: Futures/Forwards, European Options Range: from 1 factor Black (1976) model to a three-factor model with stochastic convenience yield and stochastic term structure of interest rate Comments: seasonal factors Volatility Smile + Numerical Techniques: Chapter 7 (Lance�s Talk)

36. Volatility of the Futures Prices (S&HR)

37. TFM: Option Pricing (Milstein & Schwartz (1998))

38. Choosing a Spot Price Model For Short Maturity Options on Long Maturity Forward Contract: Black Model could be used For Short Maturity Options on Short Maturity Forward Contract: Schwartz One Factor Model could be used Large and Diverse Portfolio of Energy Contracts: Two Factor Stochastic Convenience Yield Model is good

39. Choosing a Spot Price Model II Not Necessary to Use Three Factor Model: Stochastic Interest Rate has a relatively minor impact on Energy Derivatives Prices Jumps?-loss of the simple analytical solutions and numerical techniques HR-presented a quasi-analytical solution for standard options under 3FM with jumps: but it�s not consistent with the attenuation of the jumps in the case of simple mean reversion
