Specialty Definition: Capital market

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The capital market is the market for long-term loans and equity capital. Companies and the government can raise funds for long-term investments via the capital market. The capital market includes the stock market, the bond market, and the primary market. Securities trading on organized capital markets is monitored by the government; new issues are approved by authorities of financial supervision and monitored by participating banks. Thus, organized capital markets are able to guarantee sound investment opportunities.

Electricity market

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Electricity markets are being developed as a result of the deregulation of electricity utilities around the world. The process began in 1990 when the UK Government under Margaret Thatcher privatisedd the UK Electricity Supply Industry in England and Wales. The process followed by the British has been followed in other countries. The institutions and market designs may differ but the underlying concepts are the same. These are: separate the contestable functions of generation and retail from the natural monopoly functions of transmission and distribution; and establish a wholesale electricity market for electricity generation and a retail electricity market for electricity retailing.

Wholesale electricity market

A wholesale electricity market exists when competing generators offer their electricity output to retailers.

Electricity is by its nature difficult to store and has to be available on demand. Consequently, unlike for other products, it is not possible, under normal operating conditions, to keep it in stock, ration it or have customers queue for it. Demand and supply vary continuously. There is therefore a physical requirement for a controlling agency, the system operator, to coordinate the dispatch of generating units to meet the expected demand of the system across the transmission grid. If there is a mismatch between supply and demand the generators speed up or slow down causing the system frequency (either 50 or 60 Hertz) to increase or decrease. If the frequency falls outside a predetermined range the system operator will act to remove either generation or load.

In addition, the laws of physics determine how electricity flows through an electricity network. Hence the extent of electricity lost in transmission and the level of congestion on any particular branch of the network will influence the economic dispatch of the generation units.

For an economically efficient electricity wholesale market to flourish it is essential that a number of criteria are met. Professor William Hogan of Harvard University has identified these. Central to his criteria is a coordinated spot market that has "bid-based, security-constrained, economic dispatch with nodal prices". Other academics such as Professors Pablo Spiller and Shmuel Orem of the University of California, Berkeley have developed other criteria. Professor Hogan's model has largely been adopted in New Zealand and supported by the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in its proposed Standard Market Design.

Bid-based, security-constrained, economic dispatch with nodal prices

The price of electricity at each node on the network is an aggregation of the marginal electricity generator's offer price and the marginal cost of losses and congestion on the network. This is known as "locational marginal pricing" (LMP) or "nodal pricing". Where congestion exists on a transmission network, there is a need for load to be shed or more expensive generation to be dispatched on the downstream side of the constraint. Prices on either side of the constraint separate giving rise to congestion pricing and constraint rentals.

A constraint can be caused when a particular branch of a network reaches its thermal limit or when a potential overload will occur due to a contingent event on another part of the network. The latter is referred to as a security constraint. In essence, transmission systems are operated to allow for continuity of supply even if a contingent event, like the loss of a line, generator or transformer, were to occur. This is known as a security constrained system.

The marginal generator is determined by matching offers from generators to bids from retailers at each node to develop a classic supply and demand equilibrium price. This process is carried out for each 5-minute, half-hour or hour (depending on the market) interval at each input and exit node on the transmission grid. The prices take into account the losses and constraints in the system and generators are dispatched by the system operator, not only in ascending order of offers (or descending order of bids), but in accordance with the required security of the system. This results in a spot market with "bid-based, security-constrained, economic dispatch with nodal prices".

Risk management

A consequence of the complexity of a wholesale electricity market is the price volatility at times of peak demand and supply shortages. This is manifest by price "spikes" which are hard to predict and price "steps" when the underlying fuel or plant position changes for long periods .

Electricity retailers, who buy from the wholesale market, and generators who sell to the wholesale market, are exposed the these price effects and to protect themselves from volatility, they will enter into "hedge contracts" with each other. These contracts are generally contracts for differences where the parties agree a strike price for defined time periods. If the actual wholesale price in any time period is higher than the "strike" price, the generator will refund the difference berween the "strike" price and the actual price for that period. Similarly a retailer will refund the difference to the generator when the actual price is less than the "strike price". The actual price is sometimes referred to as the "spot" or "pool" price, depending on the market.

Other hedging arrangements, such as Financial Transmission Rights, call options and put options are traded in sophisticated electricity markets.

Retail Electricity Market

A retail electricity market exists when end-use customers can chose their supplier from competing electricity retailers.

Generally, electricity retail reform follows from electricity wholesale reform. However, it is possible to have a single electricity generation company and still have retail competition. If a wholesale price can be established at a node on the transmission grid and the electricity quantities at that node can be reconciled, competition for retail customers within the distribution system beyond the node is possible.

Although market structures vary, there are some common functions that an electricity retailer has to be able to perform, or enter into a contract for, in order to compete effectively. Failure or incompetence in the execution of one or more of the following has led to some dramatic financial disasters:

Meter Reading
Meter Rental
Billing
Credit control
Customer management via an efficient call centre
Distribution Use of System Contract
Reconciliation Agreement
"Pool" or "Spot Market" Purchase Agreement
Hedge Contracts - contracts for differences to manage "spot price" risk

The two main areas of weakness have been risk management and billing. In the USA in 2001, California's flawed regulation of retail competition led to the California electricity crisis and left incumbent retailers subject to high spot prices but without the ability to hedge against these (see
Manifesto on The Californian Electricity Crisis). In the UK a retailer, Independent Energy, with a large customer base went bust when it could not collect the money due from customers.

Electricity market experience

In the main, experience in the introduction of retail competition has been mixed. The UK, Australia and New Zealand have achieved some success. Among the countries in the world that have developed successful wholesale electricity markets are:
Australia - see NEMMCO the Australian Market Administrator
Canada
Chile
New Zealand - see New Zealand Electricity Market
Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway - see Nordpool, the Nordic Power Exhange
England and Wales see the Balancing and Settlement arrangements at Elexon

Market

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A market is a mechanism which allows people to trade, normally governed by the theory of supply and demand. Both general and specialised markets, where only one commodity is traded, exist. Markets work by placing many interested sellers in one place, thus making them easier to find for prospective buyers. An economy which relies primarily on interactions between buyers and sellers to allocate resources is known as a market economy in contrast to a command economy.

The traditional market is a city square where traders set up stalls and buyers browse the merchandise. This kind of market is very old, and countless such markets are still in operation around the whole world. In the USA such markets fell out of favor, but renewed interest in local food has cause the reinvention of this type of market, called farmers' markets, in many towns and cities. An example of a large market is Chatuchak weekend market in Bangkok. The Roman term for market, still in use in a related sense, is forum.

In modern times, mainly after the invention of the electronic computer, markets are not always located in a physical space. Such virtual markets consist of communication paths where information exchange is easy and deals may be struck. A notable example of this is the international currency market.

Market system

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A market system is any systematic process of helping bidders and sellers interact and make deals. It is distinguished specifically from a voting system where candidates seek the support of voters on a less regular basis. However, the interactions between market and voting systems are an important aspect of political economy, and some argue they are hard to differentiate, e.g. systems like cumulative voting and runoff voting involve a degree of market-like bargaining and tradeoff, rather than simple statements of choice.

In economics, market forms are studied. These look at the impacts of a particular form on larger markets, rather than technical characteristics of how bidders and sellers interact.

Heavy reliance on many interacting market systems and forms is a feature of capitalism, and advocates of socialism often criticize market features. This article does not discuss the political impact of any particular system nor applications of a particular mechanism to any particular problem in real life. For more on specific types of real-life markets, see commodity markets, insurance markets, bond markets, energy markets, flea markets, debt markets, stock markets, net auction, real estate market, each of which is explained in its own article with features of its application, referring to market systems as such if needed:

Market systems are more abstract than their application to any one use, and typically a 'system' describes a protocol of offering or requesting things for sale. Well-known market systems that are used in many applications include:

The term 'laissez-faire' ("let alone") is sometimes used to describe some specific compromise between regulation and black market, resulting in the political struggle to define or exploit "free markets". This is not an easy matter to separate from other debates about the nature of capitalism. There is no such thing as a "free" market other than in the sense of a black market, and most free-market advocates favor at least some form of regulated market, e.g. to prevent outright fraud, theft, and retain some degree of credibility with the larger public. This political debate is out of the scope of this article, other than to note that the "free" market is usually a "less regulated" market, but not qualitatively different from other regulated markets, in any society with laws, and that what opponents of "free markets" usually seek is some kind of moral purchasing rather than pure rationing.

As this debate suggests, key debates over market systems relate to their accessibility, safety, fairness, and ability to guarantee clearance and closure of all transactions in a reasonable period of time.

Also, the degree of trust in a political or economic authority (such as a bank or central bank) is often critical in determining the success of a market. A market system depends inherently on a stable money system to ensure that units of account and standards of deferred payment are uniform across all players - and to ensure that the balance of contracts due within that market system are accepted as a store of value, i.e. as "collateral of the holder of the contract, which justifies "credit" from a lender of cash.

The market itself provides a medium of exchange for the contracts and coupons and cash to seek prices relative to each other, and for those to be publicized. This publication of current prices is a key feature of market systems, and is often relevant far beyond the current groups of buyers and sellers, affecting others' supply and demand decisions, e.g. whether to produce more of a commodity whose price is now falling.

Banks, themselves, are often described in terms of markets, as "transducers of trust" between lenders (who deposit money) and borrowers (who take it out again). Trust in the bank to manage this process makes more economic activity possible. However, critics say, this trust is also quite easy to abuse, and has many times proven difficult to limit or control (see business cycle), resulting in 'runs on banks' and other such 'crises of trust' in 'the system'.

However, market systems are usually flexible enough to be refined and detailed rules adjusted so as to regain the trust of participants relatively quickly - most market systems tend to degrade gracefully, with a few exceptions, e.g. hyperinflation, South Sea bubble, tulip boom, dotcom boom, depression, that are very damaging, but nonetheless relatively infrequent.

Market transparency

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In economics, a market is transparent if much is known by many about what products and/or services are available at what price and where. This is a special case of the topic at transparency (humanities). A high degree of market transparency can result in disintermediation due to the buyer's increased knowledge of supply pricing.

Marketing

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Marketing is the craft of linking the producers (or potential producers) of a product or service with customers, both existing and potential. It is an inevitable and necessary consequence of capitalism. However marketing is not limited to capitalist countries. Marketing techniques are applied in all political systems, and in many aspects of life. Marketing methods are informed by many of the social sciences, particularly psychology, sociology, and economics. Marketing research underpins these activities. Through advertising, it is also related to many of the creative arts.

What marketing involves

Contrary to the popular conception, marketing is not just about promotion -- it can be divided into four sections, often called the "four Ps". They are:

These four elements are often referred to as the marketing mix. A marketer will use these variables to craft a marketing plan. For a marketing plan to be successful, the mix of the four "p's" must reflect the wants and desires of the consumers in the target market. Trying to convince a market segment to buy something they don't want is extremely expensive and seldom successful. Marketers depend on marketing research to determine what consumers want and what they are willing to pay for. Marketers hope that this process will give them a sustainable competitive advantage. Marketing management is the practical application of this process.

Supermarket

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A supermarket, or grocery, is a store or market that sells food, drugs, beverages and sometimes clothes and other household products that are consumed regularly. A supermarket offers a great variety of products. Often, a supermarket is part of a chain that owns or controls (sometimes by franchise) other supermarkets located in the same town or other towns, as this increases the opportunities for economies of scale.


Supermarket produce section


Supermarket beer & wine aisle

Supermarket usually offer products at low prices by reducing margins. To maintain a profit supermarkets attempt to make up for the low margins with a high volume of sales. The first supermarket was Piggly Wiggly but A&P was the most successful of the early chains. In the United States they became common in cities in the 1920s; the growth of supermarkets was matched with the growth of suburban areas after World War II. Supermarkets in the USA are now often found matched with department stores in strip malls and are generally regional rather than national. It was formerly common for supermarkets to give trading stamps.

In Britain the proliferation of out-of-town supermarkets has been blamed for the disappearance of smaller, local grocery stores and for increased dependency on the motor car (automobile). In France, where there are so-called hypermarchés, or hypermarkets, there is a similar situation.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

SOUL, n. A spiritual entity concerning which there hath been brave disputation. Plato held that those souls which in a previous state of existence (antedating Athens) had obtained the clearest glimpses of eternal truth entered into the bodies of persons who became philosophers. Plato himself was a philosopher. The souls that had least contemplated divine truth animated the bodies of usurpers and despots. Dionysius I, who had threatened to decapitate the broad- browed philosopher, was a usurper and a despot. Plato, doubtless, was not the first to construct a system of philosophy that could be quoted against his enemies; certainly he was not the last. "Concerning the nature of the soul," saith the renowned author of Diversiones Sanctorum, "there hath been hardly more argument than that of its place in the body. Mine own belief is that the soul hath her seat in the abdomen -- in which faith we may discern and interpret a truth hitherto unintelligible, namely that the glutton is of all men most devout. He is said in the Scripture to 'make a god of his belly' -- why, then, should he not be pious, having ever his Deity with him to freshen his faith? Who so well as he can know the might and majesty that he shrines? Truly and soberly, the soul and the stomach are one Divine Entity; and such was the belief of Promasius, who nevertheless erred in denying it immortality. He had observed that its visible and material substance failed and decayed with the rest of the body after death, but of its immaterial essence he knew nothing. This is what we call the Appetite, and it survives the wreck and reek of mortality, to be rewarded or punished in another world, according to what it hath demanded in the flesh. The Appetite whose coarse clamoring was for the unwholesome viands of the general market and the public refectory shall be cast into eternal famine, whilst that which firmly through civilly insisted on ortolans, caviare, terrapin, anchovies, pates de foie gras and all such Christian comestibles shall flesh its spiritual tooth in the souls of them forever and ever, and wreak its divine thirst upon the immortal parts of the rarest and richest wines ever quaffed here below. Such is my religious faith, though I grieve to confess that neither His Holiness the Pope nor His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury (whom I equally and profoundly revere) will assent to its dissemination."
