Abstract

  • Title: ISCR research agenda for 2014 Abstract: ISCR research is based on three areas: banking and finance, network industries (electricity and telecommunications), and resource management. Within these areas, we’re interested in how markets function, how markets are regulated, how firms and industries structure themselves, and how organisations govern themselves. Author: Toby Daglish
  • Title: Changes within the ISCR Author: Toby Daglish, Christine Southey Bronwyn, Bronwyn Howell
  • Title: Managing manipulation of electricity markets Abstract: James Bushnell examines the response of regulators in the United States to apparent abuses by a newly influential segment of the industry: Banks. Author: James Bushnell
  • Title: Urban equilibrium Abstract: When central and local governments are called upon to evaluate the costs and benefits of large infrastructure investment projects, they must rely upon models that simplify the complex, dynamic and adaptive realities of the economic, social and political systems into which the infrastructure will be deployed. Oliver Robertson explores the merits of different modelling approaches used to evaluate large-scale transportation investments. Author: Oliver Robertson
  • Title: The quick and the illiquid Abstract: Liquidity (the ability to convert an asset readily into cash) is an important property of financial securities. When we want to buy something, we need cash to buy it then and there; when we sell something, we want to be rid of it quickly. It’s always possible to hold a ‘fire sale’ (if you offer something for free, you’ll find a buyer pretty quickly) but generally that’s not a path to financial success. Jamie Hatch explores how this affects the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). Author: Jamie Hatch
