[R-SIG-Finance] Energy Industry Groups?

[Adrian Dragulescu]

John,

I don't know of any energy related group.  Common methods for pricing
spread options you can find in Haug's book.  You can also check Carmona's
papers, he has an enhancement to what you'll find in Haug.  However, a
blind application of out of the box methods to price optionality of power
plants can give you numbers that will be misleading.

Best,
Adrian
