dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the dynamics of electricity price series and constructs a Marko- vian regime-switching model that can appropriately capture electricity price fluctuations. The research begins with fitting a volatility model to the data and recognizing its drawbacks, moving to an appropriate Markovian regime-switching model that can better account for the peculiar behaviour of electricity prices, in particular, their spikiness. The thesis concludes by using the Markovian regime- switching framework constructed to develop a heuristic for predicting spikes in electricity prices and discusses the applicability of this heuristic for using financial instruments to hedge against price spikes.en_US
