This thesis focuses on the weather risk management by using weather derivatives. The work done in this thesis is a contribution to statistics, econometric and financial aspects of the modeling and the evaluation of weather derivatives. Particular attention was paid to the Moroccan context both in a qualitative point of view. In additionto theoretical developments that we have made (statistical tests to verify the impact of weather conditions on the economy, improvement of a model to forecast daily average temperatures, confirming the choice of the average temperature instead of extreme temperatures as the preferred under lying for contracts based on temperature, etc.), we also proposed case studies with Moroccan economic actors carrying out their weather sensitive activities and having different risk profiles and we provide them hedging solutions based on the use of weather derivatives.
