Subject: re : research sign off steve , sign - off from the research group is something that requires defining formal rules going forward . my concern over the last few years was that we were asked on many occasions to sign - off on partial results of valuation , without the benefits of a full picture . sometimes , we were asked to sign - off on trade ideas , over which we have no control long - term . i shall talk to rick buy and david port about setting up more formal rules for the research sign - off . vince steven leppard 01 / 24 / 2001 03 : 42 am to : sharad agnihotri / lon / ect @ ect cc : tani nath / lon / ect @ ect , ted murphy / lon / ect @ ect , james new / lon / ect @ ect , vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect subject : research sign off hi sharad i note from our discussion earlier this morning that you ' ve been asked to sign off a calculation from another group , which is something we ' re asked to do from time to time . i take the view that we in research can assess a computation in terms of what it achieves with respect to its requirements , what its shortfalls are , and therefore what the risks associated with using this method are . we cannot provide an opinion on whether these risks are acceptable to enron , which i feel falls firmly within rac territory . this then raises the question of can research sign off anything for other groups after all ? to " sign off " means to accept something , which our opinion in itself cannot do . it is most appropriate for us to provide a technical note outlining the methodology , risks and shortcomings of a method , leaving the formal " sign off " to those best placed to assess these risks for our company . the alternative is for multiple groups each to have their own view on what is acceptable risk for the company . steve

" shane green " on 06 / 19 / 2000 02 : 14 : 00 pm to : cc : subject : dr . kaminski : ? you probably won ' t remember my name , but i am the ph . d . student that took you back to the airport after your visit to louisiana state university during the previous academic year . ? i received my m . s . in finance in may of last year , and chose to ? remain at lsu to work on my ph . d . at that time , i intended to pursue a career in ? teaching and research at a four year college or university . ? in part ? because of your visit , ? and my ? primary interest in normative research , my ? plans have changed . ? while i ? still want to earn my ph . d . , ? i plan to pursue a career in research in the private sector . ? as you know , ph . d . programs in financial economics are designed to train future academics . ? not surprisingly , they emphasize methods to approach the types of questions that are of interest to finance academics . ? what did surprise me , however , was that these areas of interest often had little to do with what i imagined to be the concerns of practitioners in the real world . ? as you mentioned in your discussion , academic researchers know little about what their counterparts in the private sector ? in light of my objective , i feel i would get the most out of the remainder of my doctoral studies if i took some time off to work in the private sector to see first hand the ? types of challenges i can expect to face as a researcher in corporate america . ? as my primary interests revolve around the use of derivatives and financial engineering in corporate risk management , enron , as the leading innovator in these areas , would be an ideal place to learn . ? i was wondering if you were aware of any openings at the company that might provide me with the exposure i am looking for . ? if there are no such positions or opportunities , any advice or suggestions you could give me , ? such as whether or not you think such a " sabbatical " ( for lack of a better term ) would be helpful , or information on private sector careers for ph . d . ' s would be greatly appreciated . ? ? i am sending a current copy of my vita as an attachment . ? if you have any questions my e - mail address is sgreen @ finance . lsu . edu . ? thanks for your help and advice . ? ? cordially , ? ? ? ? shane green ? ? ? ? ? ? ? - vita . doc

Subject: enron in india hi vince , i was not aware of the " power play " book tour . i ' ll check it out . as to the article with the baylor professor , i think it ' s a great idea . i ' d like the university affairs team to get involved . if a visit is required , interviews , etc . , they should coordinate . that way , i think we ' ll have the greatest opportunity to leverage the relationship . mark - - - - - forwarded by mark palmer / corp / enron on 10 / 10 / 2000 02 : 23 pm - - - - - vince j kaminski @ ect 10 / 09 / 2000 09 : 08 am to : mark palmer / corp / enron @ enron cc : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect subject : enron in india mark , two points . 1 . you probably know about it already . abhay mehta , the author of " power play " , is on a tour of the united states . please , take a look at the information about a meeting last sunday at stanford university . the web site address is given below . my wife went to the presentation and told me it was quite critical about enron . about 40 people attended . 2 . i was approached by john martin , a professor of finance at baylor , to write jointly an academic paper on enron for a financial journal . he wanted to work on an article on ebs . i have suggested a different topic : enron - case study of a company reinventing itself . i made a few points to john : a . enron ' s evolution did not just happen by accident . it was a result of implementation of a far - reaching strategy developed by the management . b . in the process of its evolution enron changed its environment . i came up with a term " proactive evolution " , as opposed to " reactive evolution . " c . the strategy included many elements , including emphasis on the quality of human resources , changing corporate attitudes to risk taking and employee empowerment . d . there are very few companies that match enron ' s experience and accomplishemnts . the paper could become a standard reading at the mba courses on corporate strategy and would help greatly our recruiting efforts . writing the paper would require interviews with ken , jeff and a few other key players . let me know what you thing about it . john is really excited about this paper . vince - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by vince j kaminski / hou / ect on 10 / 09 / 2000 08 : 07 am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - vkaminski @ aol . com on 10 / 07 / 2000 05 : 29 : 41 pm to : vkamins @ enron . com cc : subject : enron http : / / www . stanford . edu / group / sia / stanford india association

Subject: working paper list & etc ? ? ? dear vince : ? ? ? ? i have put together a list of finance working papers ( some of which i brought to the interview last wednesday ) which i have written since 1995 mostly in support of my work but also ( at least initially ) as a learning tool . several of them , however , ? do contain innovations . ? ? ? ? ? ? i have asked ms . de claris to forward a copy to you . ? ? ? ? as i expressed to you earlier i am particularly interested in enron credit swaps trading platform and the business opportunities that it will spawn . ? ? ? ? i also think that there are tremendous opportunities to be explored in the secondary mortgage maket in the us . i do not know if enron has considered or is active in this market . this would be an area that i am also very interested and in which i think much better can be done than most of the players in the street . ? ? ? ? the question in my mind ( hopefully not prematurely ) ? is : if there is interest here would enron consider letting me put together this business ? ? ? ? ? i look forward to hearing from you soon . ? ? ? ? best regards ? ? ? ? joao ? ? ? ?

Subject: eol trade size discrepancies vince - i have discovered the two sources of discrepancy in the " transaction dollars " on eol , between my numbers and those of eol . first , eol records all index trades with the henry hub price ( since the index price isn ' t , inadvertently , recorded with the trade , as i told you ) , whereas i went back and appended the contemporaneous index price to the trades . second , eol ignores all basis trades in reporting transaction dollars , whereas i append a rough size to them of the " price " as the basis , times the quantity . i ' m sorry i wasn ' t ready in time with my numbers ; i took the task of accuracy very seriously . clayton

Subject: recent projects hi vince , i have been working on and / or planning to work on the following projects : 1 . finished a gas daily swing option model for commodity structuring group ( sanjeev khanna ) . the model uses american monte carlo simulation and dynamic programming techniques . 2 . continue working on psim model . this includes reading power generation and operation books as well as thinking about ways to model power plant and its operation . the standard approach ( i . e . turn the plant on if power price > total generation cost , else turn the plant off ) is not particularly good if the regional demand is very high and the plant still has some un - utilized generation capacity . that is , the generation criteria is quite different depending on we model power plant from regional point view or from plant point of view . plan to have meetings with tom and lance . 3 . started working on stochastic process parameter estimation . i will concentrate on four processes : gbm , mean reverting , jump diffusion , and jump diffusion with mean reverting . i have looked at tanya ' s earlier work and decided to discretize the processes slightly differently . it is hoped that this will give a more stable estimation . best , alex

Subject: re : houston research opportunity : anjam vince : here is an explanation of what a 12 month package for anjam actually entails . it seems to me that anjam ' s interest in getting an expat package is mostly about money . based on the uk hr ' s read of anjam , they think he will jump . i have a telephone conference with anjam at 11 : 00 . my stance will be 110 is firm . we will help with the transition via a one time settlement : flat rental issues , 500 lbs of air shipping for moving furniture , maybe one trip back to uk a year , but no more . re : his concerns of having a place in london should he want to return , i will say that vince would be far better at finding a good spot for you than any hr type , so that part of the " package " promise is not particularly important . any guidelines for me to follow , coach ? regards , grant . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by grant masson / hou / ect on 08 / 11 / 2000 08 : 44 am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - tara rozen 08 / 11 / 2000 05 : 44 am to : grant masson / hou / ect @ ect cc : melanie doyle / lon / ect @ ect , jane allen / hou / ect @ ect subject : re : houston research opportunity grant not sure if i told you that i work mon , wed , friday hence the delay in responding . sorry if i forgot to tell you ! another contact name in my absence who will be able to assist is jane allen in houston ( cc ' ed above ) . three main reasons we try to stay away from assignments to the us for this type / level of transfer are : 1 ) cost 2 ) equitability among other peers 3 ) difficulty in transferring employee to local package from assignment package . however , if this is truly a 12 month assignment with no intention of extension , we would normally do the following : 12 month assignment london base , car allowance , and benefits and national insurance contribution costs ( currently 12 . 2 % of all comp compared with 1 . 45 % of all comp plus 6 . 2 % up to max of $ 76 k of employers us contribution ) housing costs in houston paid if maintaining housing in the uk ( usually up to $ 1800 per month for single ) utility costs if maintaining a house in the uk - up to $ 100 per month home leave - two economy trips per year is standard transportation to / from assignment - economy class transportation in houston - we normally give this - up to $ 40 per day for rental car in addition to the person ' s car allowance as they normally do not require a car in the uk and take the car allowance as a cash benefit whereas they will require a car in houston . shipment of goods - 500 lbs air tax assistance disturbance allowance - normally pay approx $ 1000 so , in terms of costs if you just compare a local us salary of manager on $ 100 k to a local uk manager on o 68 k the us total cost is approx $ 120 k . the uk cost is approx $ 230 k . then if you add the above costs to the assignment , you will see an even greater increase in cost compared with the local peers , ie approx $ 280 k compared with $ 120 k . we do have the ability to change the above in any way as there is no set policy ; however , anjam has already brought up other people ' s assignments and i have a feeling he will do his best to find out what everyone else is receiving . if we make clear , though , that we are keeping on uk payroll but not providing any assignment type allowances just in order for him to maintain his pension contributions for the year and at which point a decision will need to be made ( returns or moves to local us ) , then we may be able keep more consistency with your group while maintaining more reasonable costs . not sure how you want to play this , though . even if he does go on assignment rather than transfer locally , there is still the issue of whether or not a suitable job will be here at the end of the 12 months . we will always do our best to find suitable postions but we cannot guarantee it . if he transfers to a local us contract , enron europe ' s responsibility of finding suitable employment is pretty much nil . i hope this has made things clearer rather than more complicated . i honestly feel that ajnam will absolutely not take this position if it is not on an assignment basis . he made it pretty clear that unless he could stay on uk payroll for 12 months , he would not transfer . call me if you would like to discuss . tara - x 36763 enron capital & trade resources corp . from : grant masson 09 / 08 / 2000 20 : 48 to : tara rozen / lon / ect @ ect cc : subject : re : houston research opportunity tara : thanks for the update . it seems anjam is playing hard ball a little . my initial reaction is to be inflexible because it is a good offer , but on second thoughts , could you please give me an idea of what is meant by a 12 - month assignment when you have a moment ? compensation , benefits , responsibilities , career path implications , etc . many thanks ! regards , grant .
