Abstract

We propose a new approach to analyze the payoffs of a hybrid capacity option with a daily-varying strike price. We document that the option's payoffs are less than the capacity payments required to attract customer participation. We also present results useful for designing payoff-neutral options to enhance customer participation in a capacityidding program. Our proposed approach is equally applicable for a transparent analysis of the payoffs of other types of exotic capacity options. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
