This model captures the characteristics of empirical data, especially the oscillating shape of the autocorrelation function. Furthermore, we show that our model leads to explicit formulas for forwards and options on forwards.enDiscussion Paper / SFB 823;37/2015electricity spot price datacontinuous time moving average processOrnstein-Uhlenbeck processderivative pricingseasonalities310330620working paper
