Ambit stochastics is a new area of mathematical research tailored to modelling spatio-temporal phenomena in a wide range of applications. This minitutorial gives an introduction to this new field and discusses applications in financial mathematics. In particular, we are going to study how ambit fields and processes can be used to model energy spot and forward prices, and approaches to model estimation and derivative pricing within the ambit framework will be presented.
In addition, we will also discuss how renewable sources of energy such as wind or solar can be incorporated in energy prices models based on ambit fields.
