CWB pricing alternatives research

[juntersc]

Two technical projects have been conducted by the Department of Rural Economy at the University of Alberta to evaluate fixed priced contracts and early pool cash outs on the CWB pool. These projects can be accessed from our website (www.re.ualberta.ca) under publications. The two projects are staff papers 97-02 (Unterschultz and Novak) and 99-01 (Unterschultz, Brooks and Akabua). 97-02 is a theoretical evaluation of fixed price contracts and early pool cash outs. 99-01 evaluates the CWB risk associated with offering these contracts. Both files are in pdf format. These reports are technical however there are summaries at the beginning of each report. Regards Jim Unterschultz Department of Rural Economy
