This paper aims to address issues relating to the functioning of weather and freight derivatives.This paper also focuses on the studies published on weather and freight derivatives’ pricing models during the last seven decades (i.e., 1950–2020).Objectives:(1)To understand the vital issues relating to models of weather and freight derivatives.(2)To compare pricing models of weather and freight derivatives during the last seven decades (i.e., 1950–2020).
