I am listening to your interview on ET...Dear Ajay,<br /><br />I am listening to your interview on ET Now via youtube. Your analysis of the RBI response to the rupee slide is both insightful and correct. The problem with the CAD is fundamentally structural in nature and the slide in the rupee is simply a symptom and also stems from a lack of confidence in the govt's management of the economy. The RBIs introduction of capital controls demonstrates how desperate they are for short term fixes and the willingness to roll back many years of moving towards an open economy.<br /><br />I predicted these problems in 2011 by simply observing the complacent response and lack of urgency to the looming issues confronting India.<br /><br />It is very refreshing to listen to your straightforward and candid opinion on these issues.<br /><br />Best Regards<br /><br />Kwabena Smith<br />Orun Energy<br />kwabena.smith@orunenergy.com<br />www.orun energy.comKwabena Smithhttp://www.orunenergy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-58398406003401083242013-06-26T12:27:59.043+05:302013-06-26T12:27:59.043+05:30Dear Ajay:

While you use the general term 'economic agents', I felt woth reference to Capital Markets, the 'Economic Agents' of any importance are 'Buyers', 'Sellers' and the 'brokers'.<br /><br />2.'The Use of Derivative Markets is welfare-enhancin' (last line of subject (1) titled Financial Derivatives)<br /><br />It seems to me that Your concept of 'WELFARE' needs to be defined in this context.<br /><br />YOu have correctly (I feel) explained "through these Methods, Risk is not destroyed, it is only transferred from one economic agent to another"<br /><br />If this is so, any number of agents participating, does not destroy the risk but by the (uneven) distribution of the Risk<br />in a vague manner (not as yet can be explained even by Stochatic Methods for a REAL-WORLD Market)<br /><br />As such, Welfare is not enhanced, but because the misery (losses) are shared by a grat number of agents, theoretically the 'misery' might be diminished to an individual agent (and all this, in a IDEAL MARKET with so many implausible assumtions)<br /><br />3. On p.12, you quite rightly say that "they brought about the new field of 'Continuous time Finance'<br /><br />I wish to add that since Black-Scholes Model' has an application for Option-pricing in real markets located in various geographic-locations, it is,in practice, a new field of "Continuous-time" Finance applied at 'discreet intervals of time'! (Alike to analysing a 'nonlinear system' as a combination of 'locally-linear' systems and as a B.Tech. in Aero Engg, surely you know.<br /><br />It is stupid on my part to request these clarifications after 14 years but the motive is to learn from an Erudite Scholar like you:<br /><br />If you are likely to be very busy to attend to mundane queries, I request you to pass on the Questions to any of your student-researchers to elucidate.<br /><br />With best regards<br /><br />POOLLA R.K.
