Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transaction cost economics has and continues to be a fruitful area of research. There is still much to be done in the field with past research being used in conjunction with the vast number of contractual phenomena that have yet to be investigated in transaction cost economics terms. New challenges are posed by the need to move beyond the design of new contractual instruments (such as financial derivatives) to include an examination of the lurking hazards that attend contract implementation.

This book was released on 1994-10-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship of stock returns and trading volume is the focus of much recent interest. I examine an economic model of a rational trader who operates in a market with transactions costs and noise trading. The level of trading affects the rational trader’s marginal cost of transacting; as a result, trading volume is a source of risk. This engenders an equilibrium relationship between returns and volume. The model also provides a simple way to scrutinize this relationship empirically. Empirical evidence supports the implications of the model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All organizations, institutions, business processes, markets and strategies have one aim in common: the reduction of transaction costs. This aim is pursued relentlessly in practice, and has been perceived to bring about drastic changes, especially in the recent global market and the cyber economy. This book analyzes and describes “transactions” as a model, on the basis of which organizations, institutions and business processes can be appropriately shaped. It tracks transaction costs to enable a scientific approach instead of a widely used “state-of-the-art” approach, working to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This open access book analyzes and describes “transactions” as a model...

Download or read book A Trading Desk View of Market Quality written by Robert A. Schwartz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-19 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on A Trading Desk’s View of Market Quality, a conference hosted by the Zicklin School of Business on April 30, 2002. The text includes the edited transcripts of each panel as well as separate presentations by two distinguished industry officials, Joel Steinmetz, who at the time was Senior Vice President, Equities, Instinet Corporation, and Laura Unger, formerly Acting Chairperson and Commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This book is not simply a historical record of the conference. It is also an exposition of the complex issues raised by the industry experts and speakers in attendance. Therefore, we introduced new material from foll- up interviews with many of the panelists so that the final result would be a more valuable document. Our intention was to examine the discussions with a critical eye, then modify or expand various sections to reflect contemporary conditions. In addition, we have included a paper by Ozenbas, Schwartz and Wood (see Chapter 8, page 151) that provides further analysis on the connection between market quality and intra-day 1 volatility that was noted several times during the conference. During the production process, we worked with the panelists, and took pains not to put words in their mouths. They have all approved the final draft of the manuscript, and we thank them for their assistance and patience.

Download or read book Transient Market Power of Firms written by T.V.S. Ramamohan Rao and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every firm in the market for industrial products offers a distinct value to consumers. As such, they derive some market power based on the intrinsic value of their products. However, firms often utilize non-price strategies to reveal value to consumers because both the consumers and firms experience information asymmetry with respect to such value. They may also orient some strategies to increase their market share. In general, non-price strategies contain information about value beyond the market shares they achieve, and the shifts in market demand provide the firm with some transient market power. This book indicates that, given the transaction costs to the consumers, of switching between products, the increase in demand tends to be of a longer-term nature. It will not be eliminated over time, as is often conjectured. Measures of the intrinsic value of products, transient market power, and the changes in non-price strategies of firms that tend to perpetuate it are also defined and estimated in the text.

Download or read book Planning and the Political Market written by Mark Pennington and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planning and the Political Market argues that the enthusiasm for planning as an essential component of environmental protection is misplaced. Drawing on the experience of Britain and other Western democracies, the author uses public choice theory to explore the practical experience of land use planning as an example of government failure. The book opens by outlining the institutional focus of public choice theory, examining the central questions of market and government failure and the theoretical case for government intervention in the environment. Having explored the principal impacts of planning the book goes on to analyse the institutional structures which have produced these policy outcomes. The analysis suggests that institutional incentives within the 'political market' have frequently led to policies which favour special interest groups and public sector bureaucracy. The book concludes with an assessment of the potential for a private property rights, free market alternative to increase community involvement and access.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Market Revolution and its limits summarises why many economists believe that markets are best. It explores how even 'market failures' can be given market solutions, and asks why market ideas seem to have taken such a firm hold. Non-polemical in its approach, this book provides a comprehensive appraisal of the market and its alternatives, backed up with empirical international illustrations. Shipman concludes that the 'revolution' lies in redefining the market process rather than the market outcome.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report addresses the overarching question regarding the role of institutions in enhancing market development following market reforms. It uses the New Institutional Economics framework to empirically analyze the role of a specific market institution, that of brokers acting as intermediaries to match traders in the Ethiopian grain market in reducing the transaction costs of search faced by traders. Brokers play a key role in facilitating exchange in a weak marketing environment where limited public market information, the lack of grain standardization, oral contracts, and weak legal enforcement of contracts increase the risk of contract failure. Relying on primary data, it analyzes traders' microeconomic behavior, social capital, the nature and extent of their transaction costs, and the norms and rules governing the relationship between brokers and traders.The study uses an innovative approach to quantify the costs of search and demonstrates that the brokerage institution is economically efficient both for individual traders and for global economic welfare.

Download or read book Computing Equilibria in Finance Economies with Incomplete Markets and Transaction Costs written by P. Jean-Jacques Herings and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transaction costs in financial markets may have important consequences for volumes of trade, asset pricing and welfare. In the economic literature they are often given as one reason for the incompleteness of asset markets, which is a striking example of their potential impact on volumes of trade. We argue that analytical results on the impact of transaction costs are hard to obtain and a computational approach is needed. This paper introduces the first algorithm for the computation of equilibria in the general equilibrium model with incomplete asset markets and linear transaction costs on the financial markets. The algorithm is based on the homotopy principle and is able to deal with the two major technical difficulties of the model, namely the existence of non-differentiabilities of agents' asset demands as a function of the asset prices and the existence of locally non-unique equilibria. Several numerical examples give a first glimpse of the impact of transaction costs on the nature of the equilibria. We show that the consequences of transaction costs for volumes of trade and prices can be counterintuitive even for small economic models.
