the dissertation hasn ' t been reviewed by les or the external yet - although its been at forc for 2 months . i think that the empirical chapter is probably the one which would be of most relevance to both our company ' s businesses - although i ultimately didn ' t have the time to ' explicitly ' price the jump risk - premium which i conjectured is possibly implicit in the prices of exchange - traded electricity futures - options - rather i developed an implicit estimation procedure which will enable a rough assessment ( with a little bit of further work , but not too much ) be made of the price of jump risk in wholesale power markets . in other words , i assumed spot jump - risk to be undiversifiable , and essentially devoted 2 theoretical chapters to : 1 ) proving that a jump - diffusion trading model is " incomplete " ( synthesising the securities markets framework with martingale representation theory ) - note that i did not assume that markets could be dynamically completed with ' term structure ' securities as in the hjm w / jumps papers of shirakawa and das and ; 2 ) deriving an explicit risk - adjustment process for ' implementing ' the price of jump - risk using a jump - diffusion marginal indirect utility of wealth process ( ie . a jump - augmented production economy approach in the spirit of cir , bates , ahn whereas in the latter the driftless forward supposition means that i have to capture mean - reversion via the futures volatility function , and jumps are less easy to calibrate . any suggestions ?

Subject: re : gwen koepke anne , thanks for contacting me about this . as a matter of fact , i wanted to talk to you about it today as this matter was outstanding for a long time . i think we should go ahead and adjust gwen to manager , effective march 1 . the compensation would be her current base plus 10 k . this is what we typically do when we promote an associate to a manager . such promotions take place in march and i think gwen should not be penalized for the inefficiency of her management ( i . e . my and maureen ' s procrastination ) . on unrelated and more serious matter . gary hickerson is the primary client for maureen ' s services . he communicated to me a few weeks ago that he is unwilling to underwrite maureen ' s position ( he is in general unhappy with her contribution ) . this means that maureen will have to find another sponsor or leave enron . given her abrasive and aggressive personality finding another internal customer will be quite a challenge . gary volunteered to pay a very generous severance to maureen from his budget . i would like to talk to you about it when you have a few minutes . vince from : anne labbe / enron @ enronxgate on 05 / 02 / 2001 10 : 34 am to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect cc : subject : gwen koepke vince , just wanted to touch base with you . i have tried to contact maureen so that gwen ' s title and salary can be adjusted to manager just as you requested , but have not heard any response from her . would you like for me to wait until i hear from maureen or should i go ahead and proceed in changing her title ? i just want to make sure that gwen is in the right peer group during prc . also , i am going to try and set up a meeting with you next week through shirley to discuss any buring issues that you are experiencing , and your expectations during prc . thanks , anne | 0 |

Subject: erisk interview vince : you may inteersted in the following interview which appeared on erisk . com last friday . were rick buy ' s comments about real options taken out of context ? yann bonduelle leads a 25 - person team for in london that applies decision analytics and real options theory to dilemmas ranging from valuing a biotechnology product to deciding whether to kill off an internet financial services business . here he talks to rob jameson about whether this " theoretical " approach to risky decision - making really helps businesses in their day - to - day balancing of risk and reward . yann holds a ph . d degree from the engineering - economic systems department at stanford university , where he studied how to apply engineering decision and design analysis to wider economic , social and business issues . he then worked as a consultant applying his decision analysis methodologies to problems that included consumer decision making about innovative products such as electrical vehicles , before joining the team in 1998 where he is now a partner . he has written widely on the application of real options , particularly in fields of life sciences , technology , and e - business , and has a special interest in the relationship between risk assessment , validation of risk data and financial valuation . how would you sum up your approach to business decision analytics ? most of our projects are set up to help businesses that face massive uncertainties of some kind . decision analysis helps people explore problems , and redesign their decision - making process to increase the chance of them making the right choices . for example , imagine a biotechnology company that has to decide whether to put itself up for sale , enter a strategic relationship , or continue to go it alone . each of those options will lead on to other value - enhancing or value - destroying scenarios . we work with the client firstly to understand and challenge the assumptions associated with their most likely business development scenarios , and secondly to help them identify decisions that would help protect or increase the value of their technology or company . quantifying technical , regulatory or commercial risks can sometimes be a challenge . in technology - intensive fields , however , we have found that managers ( often scientists ) are quite willing to describe the main sources of risk and to assess the probability that a risky event may or may not occur . how does this kind of risky decision - making relate to real options valuation ? you can ' t say what the value of an asset is until you decide what you might use it for . this means that , to form an opinion about the value of an asset , you must explore the most important decisions that you are likely to face and that will have a significant impact on the value of the asset . so decision analysis helps to define the business problem and to uncover a stream of inter - related choices that are , in effect , " real options " . for example , if a company is trying to decide whether to invest in a risky project , does it have the option to pull the plug on the investment at an early stage if a pilot project gives a poor showing ? that " real " option reduces the riskiness , and increases the potential value , of the original business plan . so real options and decision analysis are really very close to one another . but you don ' t have to believe in real options valuations to find decision analysis useful . what do you mean ? often decision analysis can help managers to identify the key risks in a strategic decision , attach weights to these , and show clearly how they interact . for many companies this " risk discovery " is the most valuable part of the exercise . real options theory has been criticised recently for being , well , not very realistic . is it a practical approach to valuation ? it ' s important not to hold out unrealistic hopes for the real options approach to valuation . but it ' s an exciting methodology , and it ' s also sometimes the only reasonable way of tackling a very practical problem . for example , when a firm sells an asset , the firm might have to make an independent valuation of the asset for legal or corporate governance reasons . but in many businesses today there are assets that simply cannot be valued in traditional ways because they are difficult to link to cashflows . the cashflows might not exist because the business is so novel , or they might be hidden . in some respects , a real options analysis is much closer to reality than a traditional valuation . how , exactly ? the classic way of valuing a future business is to base the calculation on a single discounted cashflow that is projected from the activity . but this doesn ' t really take account of the way that scenarios can change , or the fact that managers can react to situations as they unfold . i mentioned earlier the option to kill a project or business at an early point . but the upside is that if a pilot project yields exciting results , it might allow you to invest more quickly and reach a revenue - generating position in a much shorter time than the original business plan allows . so to value a future business we really need to look at the cashflows that might arise in a number of scenarios . this is " realistic " in that , if the project gets the green light , you can bet that its managers will be taking that kind of decision on the ground all of the time . what ' s the most challenging part of mapping out a decision analysis tree ? modelling the links between the variables in the decision tree - - it ' s something we have particular strengths in . but it ' s also tricky to know when it ' s worthwhile to add on more detail , and when it ' s better to draw back . in a recent erisk interview , rick buy , chief risk officer of enron , said that over the two years that enron had experimented with the real options concept , it had found it of " limited , but not zero , use " . why is there a slight air of cynicism about real options in some businesses today ? it ' s strange that enron would profess this attitude . a few years ago , it was widely reported to have used real option valuation to support a very profitable purchase decision . they had apparently bought cheaply some older generators in the us that generated electricity at a very high cost . they knew that they could mothball them for most of the year , and switch them on only when the electricity prices were sufficiently high . nevertheless , from a customer ' s point of view , there might have been too much hype about the methodology . one problem in the application of real options technology is that there are , perhaps , too many people trying to tweak reality to conform to their " perfect " model . it ' s better to aim for something pragmatic that clearly improves decisions over time . in one pharmaceutical company we worked with recently , we worked together to improve their valuation analyses by moving from a single discounted cash - flow methodology to one that took into account a rather small set of business scenarios . it would have shocked some academics and consultants , but it was an undeniable improvement on the original approach . why do you think financial institutions are only just picking up on your field , when it ' s been applied in the energy industry for 15 years or more ? it might have something to do with the relative stability of the banking world until recently , and the relatively high margins that banking lines have enjoyed . also , industries such as energy and pharmaceuticals tend to have more people with an engineering and science background . the dynamic modelling of decisions is based on methodologies originally dreamed up to help engineers design electrical and electronic systems . this approach is quite distinct from the black - scholes options analyses that the banking world is familiar with : the black - scholes approach is difficult to apply in a real options context , because everything depends on the assumptions that you put into the black - scholes model . the real options approach , on the other hand , is in a sense a way of modelling those assumptions more explicitly . but banks are now adopting some of the thinking , particularly in terms of using decision analysis to pinpoint risks and identify value - enhancing decisions , and in using real options methodologies to sort the wheat from the chaff in their more speculative investments . you mean their internet investments ? we have recently worked with a major dutch bank that had arrived late in the internet game , and then made a considerable number of investments . now that even b 2 b business models have questions marks hanging over them , and many b 2 c businesses are already under water , they wanted to work out which investments might contain real value . in this situation , it ' s a case of ranking priorities and helping the bank make sense of what could turn into a decision - making chaos , rather than sophisticated valuation . it ' s not just a case of whether an internet investment should be killed off , but the problem of whether continued funding for it should take priority over budget demands for major it upgrades in existing businesses , and so on . these are very practical questions and they have to be answered somehow . are there other areas in financial institutions that seem accessible to this approach ? yes , for example , we think it can help work out the value associated with various approaches to marketing a new bank business line . at the moment , many banks are chasing high - net - worth individuals , but it ' s not always clear which kind of individual a particular bank should decide to pursue . the bank might have a regional or industry advantage already in one particular area , for example , music business people . but what is the churn rate associated with this kind of customer ? what is the profitability associated with the customer segment ? will the time and cost benefits of the advantages the bank has in the sector outweigh any disadvantages ? weighing up this kind of complex problem , where one thing leads to and depends on another , is what decision and real options analysis is good at . is there any way of rigorously backtesting or validating real options valuations ? in all honesty , not really . the problem is that by the time the option is exercised , many of the variables surrounding it will have changed , so it ' s difficult to compare our original analysis with how things turn out . however , the value of the analysis comes not only from the final number ( " the value of this asset is x " ) but also from providing a thorough process , an outsider ' s point of view , an understanding of the sources of value and , in short , a bit of clearer thinking . if real options are so important , why are they so rarely cited in communications to shareholders and equity analysts ? the battle is still to convince companies to use real option valuations as a significant part of their internal analysis . even in major companies in the oil & gas , and pharmaceutical sectors , where the ideas have taken some root internally , there seems to be a lot of reluctance to use them in external communication . we are working with analysts to understand better what they need to if we are to move things on to the next step . how does the riskiness of a business , in terms of the major strategic dilemmas it faces , relate to its share value , and its capital structure ? that ' s a big question . it ' s related to work my colleagues do on the optimal debt - to - equity capital structure and gearing of a corporation , which in turn arises out of the likely revenue and cost volatilities of the business . the more volatile the business , the less gearing it can sustain , and the higher the cost of capital . our work touches on this in the sense that exercising ( many ) specific real options can allow a firm to change its nature , and thus also its risk profile . one classic example is the pharmaceutical industry . a host of different kinds of companies service that industry from " big pharma " companies through to smaller biotechnology startups and run - of - the - mill contract research organisations . a contract research organisation is often operating within a very competitive environment with relatively few risks - - it does not invest in drug development itself - - but also very thin margins . but in fact , a few of these companies have used the skills and knowledge they have developed to become much more substantial and profitable healthcare companies of various kinds . it ' s an example of a company exercising the real options that lie within its skills and assets to transform its own identity . rob jameson , erisk | 0 |

Subject: extending eu gas guidelines to central and eastern europe - cera insight title : extending eu gas guidelines to central and eastern europe url : http : / / www 20 . cera . com / eprofile ? u = 35 & m = 2184 overview : a comprehensive reform of gas legislation in central and eastern europe is bringing the region in line with the european union , s gas directive . this is true both for the countries expected to enter the union by 2004 ) 05 * czech republic , estonia , hungary , poland , and slovenia - - and for candidates whose entry is not scheduled before the end of the decade - - bulgaria , latvia , lithuania , romania , and slovakia . in cera , s view current developments regarding the establishment of a legal framework for the internal gas market in eastern and central europe look promising from an investor , s point of view . the candidate countries presented a review of progress made in the implementation of the eu gas directive during a two - day workshop held by the european commission and the world bank in paris in november . many of these countries have been reforming their energy industries throughout the 1990 s as part of their transition to a market economy . the results have been mixed , particularly in the utility industries . the 1998 gas directive ( adopted in august 2000 ) now offers a compelling incentive for eu candidate countries to transform their gas industries , while providing a road map to guide them . the critical points relevant to harmonization between the european union and candidate countries include the following : * legal framework and regulation . the legal framework is the cornerstone of enlargement and the yardstick of harmonization in europe . as a result , in all candidate countries in 1999 ) 2000 energy laws were either updated or newly established along the principles spelled out in the gas directive . regulatory bodies have been created by law and are operating in every country , although issues of staffing , financial autonomy , and independence from political influence are not uniformly resolved . * third - party access ( tpa ) and long - term take - or - pay contracts . all candidate countries agree that tpa is a key to market competition . therefore , all have adopted it or intend to do so in their new legislation . although the commission favors regulated tpa , the specific approaches to tpa enforcement in the candidate countries remain unclear in some cases . in particular , the implementation of tpa will have to address the issue of long - term take - or - pay contracts with russia that were signed by all major domestic gas companies and somewhat preempt competition . russian gas is for the most part sold to single , traditional state - owned operators that dominate their internal markets . a balance will need to be struck between these incumbent dominant players and the competitive environment . this is made more complicated by their ownership of large volumes of russian gas supplied in kind in exchange for transit rights to west european customers . article 25 of the directive provides for ! a derogation to companies experiencing difficulties stemming from take - or - pay obligations . this derogation would apply to the companies of candidate countries with historical and commercial links with the russian gas industry . furthermore , article 26 allows derogations to those member states with only one major gas supplier , to those with an + + emerging gas market status , , , or to those without a direct gas connection to the grid of another member state . most of the candidate countries would in principle be able to call on one or more of these grounds for derogation when they join the european union . * price cross - subsidies . residential gas tariffs are artificially low and are financed partially through higher rates applied to industrial consumers . in various countries , tariff increases and the phasing out of subsidies have been scheduled , but such decisions remain politically sensitive to enforce . this has recently been emphasized by high gas prices owing to the linkage of imported gas to oil prices . all candidate countries have set legal frameworks that include the phasing out of cross - subsidies as part of sector reform , but the actual implementation will remain politically difficult . as table 1 indicates , price rebalancing is already under way in most countries expected to enter the european union by mid - decade , but the legal framework itself cannot guarantee the pace of reform . the same goes for candidate countries that have only recently introduced eu - complying energy laws and whose entry to the european union is likely to happen in a longer time frame . * unbundling . most countries understand that the unbundling of transmission companies from their supply businesses is the second critical element of liberalization . to date , unbundling the accounts of these two businesses is all that has been adopted by the member states or in the candidate countries . in the future , the commission is likely to press all eu countries for legal separation ( & structural unbundling 8 ) of the businesses , and candidate countries will have to pursue their reform of the gas sector accordingly . table 1 gives an overview of the state of play in candidate countries . as the table shows , the countries belonging to the second group have only very recently undertaken the reform of the gas sector in accordance with the directive , whereas change had been introduced earlier in the countries scheduled for the first wave . * * end * * follow above url for full report . come shoot the rapids with us at ceraweek 2001 , " shooting the rapids : strategies and risks for the energy future " in houston , february 12 - 16 , 2001 !

- please correct me or suggest otherwise . shalesh ganjoo is our lead analyst on this effort . in addition to his effort with your group , he is presently supporting jean mrha with pricing and standardization for a traded storage maret - - stinson gibner is directly supervising him in this effort . shalesh came to us through referal from david cox - - david discovered him at one of his speaking engagements . shalesh had talked to david about traded storage market development some time last october and david refered shalesh to enron research group . we hired shalesh for general analyst position and now he is pulled into all aspect of this storage effort . currently , he is our point person ( with stinson or i supervising his effort ) who is supporting jean mrha and you on the subject . kara knop has aproached shalesh with request for some support and shalesh and she are sorting out each other , s role in this regard . as per my discussion today with david , we need to coordinate this storage effort from the perspective of modeling market assessment etc . for this i suggest shalesh and his effort so that all parties involved can benefit from collective effort within one central source . based on david ' s and my assessment of shalesh ' s capabilities , i would like to suggest that the commercial heads use shalesh for his creative thinking , understanding of the market and analytical capabilities and not just for data gathering and simple research effort . we can add other staff as we see the need and as you request them . please respond this e - mail with your comments if this sounds like aplan , so that we can support this effort efficiently and in a scalable manner . kind regards , ravi . a bit about ebs research group john bloomer and richard reichardt have met me and are aware of my role and stinston gibner ' s role in ebs . i lead a team of quantitative professionals via a group we are calling ebs research . this group reports to stinson gibner ( vp ) and vince kaminski ( md and head of enron research ) . stinson and vince are the original founders of enron corp research that has been charged with model development efforts to support enron energy trading and other enron business . enron research is involved in all aspects of enron buinesses ( ees , international , corporate affairs such as fas 133 and other accounting and new product ( derivatives ) development , etc . ) . within ebs research , there serveral professionals supporting kevin howard ( cfo office ) , john griebling , tom gros and jean mrha , david cox ( via boris ) , and the war room . our main area of focus is with jean mrha ( trading ) and john griebling ( optical network design and optimization , etc . ) . we play a key role with john griebling ' s go forward network design and implementation through our responsiblity to provide traffic engineering analysis and modeling effort . -

Subject: steve leppard hi vince , hr is working on a mid - year salary review for london people that have a noticeable gap between their compensation at enron and what we would have to pay in the market for a replacement . they highlighted steve as someone with a potential gap - particularly in light of what we ' re seeing in our quant recruiting effort for credit trading and research . i ' d like your opinion on the best way to make sure we keep steve happy and keep him at enron . there are several things i see we can do : 1 ) give him a mid - year pay increase to move him closer to market . i ' m not sure this is the best way to go , especially if we only offer him a token salary increase . 2 ) offer him more responsibility : what are your thoughts on timing for making steve the official head of the london research team ? with my move to ebs , should we accelerate this ? i think this is good way to keep him happy and motivated , and then follow up with a more meaningful salary review at year - end ( as part of the regular process ) that takes into account his greater responsibility . 3 ) we have some people that we ' re trying to get under long - term ( 3 - yr ) contract with a 12 - month notice clause . obviously anyone signing one of these will want significant up - front compensation for being handcuffed . we ' ve not had a lot of success with these here in london , and i would prefer to keep steve happy so he wants to stay with enron rather than contractually binding him to the job . i ' d value your thoughts on this . thanks , dale | 0 |

Subject: re : joe , i have written to pal quilkey to invite christian werner to houston for a week to discuss how much of his research we can use . vince joseph hrgovcic 08 / 01 / 2000 06 : 51 pm to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect , mike a roberts / hou / ect @ ect cc : subject : vince , i have inquired into christian ' s climate models . it seems to me like a long term project . chiristian says that his model might be able to do better than the australian met given that they ignore some of the variables he uses and that they are an " old boy ' s network " resistant to new developments , but i don ' t think the same can be said of most other weather services . as far as the nws goes , they run their model on a cray , they have several very talented phd ' s working on it full - time , and even then , they can only get a dozen or so runs per night . in other words , it ' s a huge system . replicating something even close to that will not be an easy task . that being said , i think there are related applications that we could look into . since i ' ve already promised the rac group and the weather desk ' s pjm traders to put together a vector autoregressive model of daily temperatures , i think it makes sense to see if something better than a var model can be put together , perhaps a very stripped down version of the kind of model christian has . what i have in mind is something that would give us say , up to several dozens of " possible " temperature forecasts every morning , which would be calculated using actual climate models ( as opposed to time series models ) . i would not use this as a forecasting tool ( the nws model results would make a far better " best guess " ) , but our ensemble could still be used to provide a distribution of temperature scenarios . this ensemble would have several uses : 1 ) we could price the book for the ensemble of runs and thereby obtain a more realistic daily v @ r for the weather book ( and eventually interface that with the power desk ' s v @ r calculations ) 2 ) we could use the ensemble of forecasts to relate temperature forecasts to week - ahead cdd and hdd distributions ( for use in our demand swaps ) 3 ) if freese - notis were to give us one of their qualitative forecasts , e . g . , " expect the trough to recede " we could sort through the different monte carlo scenarions , find one in which the trough in question is receding , and use corresponding output statistics to download the actual temperatures corresponding to that scenario . up till now , we haven ' t found a good way of getting a numerical fix on what different forecasts actually mean temperature - wise 4 ) we could use the associated visualization routines that come with such models to get animations of the evolution of historical weather patterns . the traders could use these in order to look for historical periods which roughly match current weather conditions and get an idea of what could happen ; although these meteorological models would not be good for simulating month - ahead or season - ahead weather ( trust me on this ) we could still use the visualization technology to do to analogous seasonal animations . just today , i ' ve spoken with dr . jacobsen of stanford university , who has written one of the more recent textbooks on climate forecasting , and who worked with ucla ' s general circulation model . he says that getting a simplified version of mm 5 ( which is itself a simplified , limited - area version of the gcm models that nws , cola , and ucla use ) would take several months to implement , assuming the people involved are already well versed in the technology . also , i have contacted aer , a massachusetts - based weather consulting firm , and they tell me that they have a mm 5 model running daily ( only one run per night ) , and also some smaller pc models up and running . they are of course willing to work with us for a fee . their mm 5 version runs on a $ 200 , 000 parallel processor . i am open to your suggestions ( or objections as the case may be ) . i ' m not sure how the costs would be apportioned given that this would benefit all of enron , and not just the weather desk . i am scheduled to go to boston next week anyway , and would like to use the opportunity to visit with aer . i will of course coordinate any projects with christian ( if we get something like this up and running it will be more likely that he can get the computing power he needs to run his own australian model ) . joe | 0 |

Subject: re : meeting with you last week ? scott , not at all . i left to make a quick call and it required a number of follow - up calls . the presentation was very interesting and professional . one of the guidelines we have in my group is to avoid using too many software packages . otherwise , everybody will have his own pet package and we shall lose economies of scale . i shall talk to my associates about your product and get back to you . vince scott wakefield on 10 / 23 / 2000 12 : 09 : 46 pm to : vkamins @ enron . com cc : subject : meeting with you last week ? hello vince , i ' m writing to follow up with you regarding our meeting last week . did we do something wrong in our presentation or in the set up of this presentation ? for a group of 50 researchers we were expecting a larger crowd and also some peole perhaps from your it department . also when you left i was wondering if we had offended you . the ability to use our products to create open models , integrate databases , c , vb , etc . and then quickly deploy them to others has been embraced by the risk management world . we met the following day with a large group from ees and they seemed quite enthusiastic about the innovation possible with our tools . i realize you are quite busy , but could you please let me know what happened and how we can prevent this in the future ? thanks scott wakefield | 0 |
