Abstract
Los derivados climáticos componen un instrumento para reducir el riesgo financiero queafrontan compañías cuyas ganancias o flujos de efectivo están directamente correlacionadosa las condiciones climáticas. Proporcionan cobertura frente a eventos altamente probables(lluvias, sequías, nieve, temperaturas demasiado altas/frías, etc.) de relativo bajo riesgo.Un derivado del clima se basa en un subyacente que no es negociable como sí lo sonlos precios de activos financieros, este instrumento se apoya en el clima. En el caso de unaopción climática aplicado a agricultura el objetivo es cubrir la incertidumbre sobre volúmenesproducidos.El propósito de este trabajo es demostrar que los derivados climáticos se puedenemplear como una forma de cobertura o seguro agrícola contra eventos específicosinesperados del clima. La transferencia del riesgo al mercado es una manera efectiva decubrirse frente a riesgos de diversas naturalezas. Se analizan diferentes modelos de pricingde derivados de clima utilizando datos históricos de muestra para evaluar el impacto en lasopciones de compra y venta, call y put, basados en riesgos climáticos de calor y lluvia demanera de evaluarlos teóricamente, enmarcados en el campo de las finanzas corporativassobre riesgo y clima.En Chile está poco desarrollado el mercado de derivados financieros, por lo cual estetrabajo tiene como objetivo poner a disposición de las compañías el uso de estos instrumentosde cobertura para su investigación y así acompañar el resurgimiento a nivel internacional de lanecesidad de protegerse contra las inclemencias de la madre naturaleza, que día tras díaproduce pérdidas cuantiosas y millonarias en las economías de los países.Se presenta el uso de este tipo de instrumentos financieros que permite llegar a un nivelmayor de protección, el cual nos permite asegurar los volúmenes de rendimientos de venta ycon ello volver más previsible los flujos de caja de las compañías y de los productoresagrícolas.
Climate derivatives are an instrument to reduce the financial risk faced by companieswhose profits or cash flows are directly correlated to the climatic conditions. They providecoverage against highly probable events (rain, drought, snow, too high/cold temperatures, etc.)of relatively low risk.A derivative of the climate is based on an underlying that is not negotiable as are theprices of financial assets, this instrument is based on the climate. In the case of a climatic optionapplied to agriculture, the objective is to cover the uncertainty about volumes produced.The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that climate derivatives can be used as aform of agricultural insurance or hedge against specific unexpected climatic events. Thetransfer of risk to the market is an effective way to hedge against risks of different natures.Different models of climate derivative pricing are analyzed using historical sample datato evaluate the impact of call and put options based on climatic risks of heat and rain to evaluatethem theoretically, framed in the field of Corporate finance on risk and climate.In Chile, the market for financial derivatives is underdeveloped. Therefore, the purposeof this paper is to make available to companies the use of these hedging instruments for theirresearch and to accompany the resurgence at the international level of the need to protectthemselves against inclement of mother nature, which day after day produces large losses andmillionaires in the economies of the countries.We present the use of this type of financial instruments, which allows us to reach a higherlevel of protection, which allows us to secure the volumes of sales yields and with this, makethe cash flows of companies and agricultural producers more predictable.
