Settlement price

We use the C02 prices from January-December 2005 as input for ct and calculate the bias in the estimated pass-through rate at the example of a time lag of 20 days. This reflects the delays in updating under the chief trade principle applied to determine the contract settlement prices. The OLS creates a bias of 2%. Figure A1 presents the bias that results if the AR(1) process is assumed, depicted for different values of p. 

The settlement price and the accrued interest for Swedish inflation-linked bonds are calculated in the following way A reference CPI value is calculated for every day of the year based upon the CPI values CPI 3 and CPIf 2 for three months and two months prior to the month of settlement, respectively. These reference CPI values apply to the first day of the month containing the settlement date and the first day of the following month, respectively. The reference CPI for any day between these two dates is calculated by linear interpolation. 

For settlement purposes there are separate rounding conventions applied to the zero-coupon and coupon-paying issues. For zero-coupon bonds there is no rounding in the calculation, but the settlement price is rounded to the nearest krona. Coupon bonds are rounded once before you get to the settlement price, the clean price is rounded to three decimal places before adding on accrued interest. The settlement price is then rounded to the nearest krona. 

It is apparent from these figures that 99% of the trades in these STIR options involves contracts maturing within one year, with almost 80% of this volume coming from trades in the March and June 2003 contracts (there being little liquidity in the serial months). With only 10 days before their expiry on 17 March 2003, the March options do not exhibit much optionlike behaviour, so we will focus instead on the June 2003 contracts, whose settlement prices are shown in Exhibit 17.13.

If one is seriously concerned about drug development for new indications, one should question whether patent protection shouldn t be extended and whether settlements and damages awarded pursuant to litigation should be based on actual damages rather than on the perceived wealth of a company (inflated as it is, of course, by high prices). It is a commonly held view that patents cause high prices. In contrast, it is more likely the projected loss of a patent that inflates prices. Might more of a free market with lifetime patent protection for a company s assets result in lower prices ...
