Managing meteorological risk through expected shortfall

This paper focuses on weather derivatives as efficient risk management instruments and proposes a more advanced approach for their pricing. An "hybrid" contract is introduced, combining insurance properties, specifically tailored for the region under study and introducing Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) as appropriate measures for the strike price. The numerical results show that VaR and ES are both efficient ways for managing the so-called Tail Risk; further, being ES more conservative than VaR and due to its subadditivity property, it can be seen that seasonal contracts are generally better off than monthly contracts in reducing global risk.
