Abstract
In this paper, we present a continuous time autoregressive moving average (CARMA) model with stochastic speed of mean reversion. This model allows the mean reversion rates to behave stochastically and governed by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We provide closed-form solution to the CARMA with stochastic speed of mean reversion and formulate the price of temperature insurance using spot-forward relationship framework. We demonstrate the insurance pricing based on the cumulative average temperatures (CAT) index by simulating the temperature variations. We found that our proposed model may explain the temperature evolution well and the price of CAT-based index insurance looks reasonable.
