Abstract

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es proponer un modelo de valuación de opciones climáticas para el Sector Pesquero del Pacífi co mexicano, tomando como variable fundamental la temperatura del mar. Este derivado proporcionaría una cobertura contra la caída en la producción pesquera debida a los efectos ocasionados por el fenómeno natural de “El Niño”. Se utilizan los datos históricos de la temperatura del mar de diferentes regiones del Pacífi co mexicano (Ensenada, Isla Cedros, Cabo San Lucas, Golfo de México, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco y Golfo de Tehuantepec) para así proponer un proceso estocástico que describa la evolución de la temperatura del mar. Como la temperatura es un índice no-negociable, se utiliza el precio de riesgo de mercado, el cual es un parámetro importante para el cálculo de los precios de los contratos de opciones climáticas dentro un mercado de derivados incompleto. Se presenta la aplicación del modelo para la industria en algunas regiones del Sector Pesquero del Pacífico mexicano haciendo uso del método de simulación Monte Carlo. Además, se muestran las especifi caciones que deberían tener algunos contratos de opciones climáticas. / The first purpose of this paper is the valuation of a kind of weather derivatives which underlying is the sea surface temperature and it could be used for hedging in the fall in fi shing production like consequences of the natural phenomenon “El Niño”. We used historical data of several regions of Mexican Pacifi c (Ensenada, Isla Cedros, Cabo San Lucas, Golfo de México, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco and Golfo de Tehuantepec) and thus suggest a stochastic process that describes the evolution of the sea surface temperature. Since the temperature is a not-tradable quantity, we used the market price of risk, which is an important parameter to estimate the prices of contracts of weather options in an incomplete derivatives market. We are presenting the application of model to industry in a few regions of the Fisheries of Mexican Pacifi cusing the method of Monte Carlo simulation. In addition, we show the specifi cations that should have some contracts of weather options.
