Subject: transition to research group - an update vince , just wanted to let you know that i had a meeting with wade cline ( coo , enron india ) , neil mcgregor ( president , dpc ) , and mohan gurunath ( cfo , dpc ) today . though i had already spoken to all of them earlier about my joining your group , today it became official , and all of them supported the move . i explained to them what we would be doing , and the results expected from the henwood study . dpc would like to pay the costs for the study , and that was mentioned . there maybe some tax issues etc . that need to be cleared , and other related issues that i would like to discuss with you , so i will leave them till i get to houston . i also spoke about anshuman , and there was resistance to his leaing for such a long time . however , i have agreement from folks here to send him to houston for a shorter stint on dpc budget . i will try to finalize that before i leave . i will call you in the evening to just chat . i am very thankful to you for giving the opportunity you have . things here have deteriorated dramatically over the last few weeks . morale is quite down due to many lay - offs . i am really looking forward to returning to houston , and the family ! ! regards , sandeep .

Subject: re : dear navroz thanks for getting back to me . the reason there has been a dialogue ( not , i should point out , with nick , but with shan millie ) , is that my work is of quite a large size , and needs to find an appropriate home . the question is should it go into a compilation book , or somehow be published in the magazine ? i was awaiting some feedback from risk on the best course of action . we were hoping to publish a cut down version in the magazine , and a full version in risk ' s upcoming " game choices " book , but i ' ve heard nothing from your organisation until now ( and i fear we ' ve now missed the boat on the game choices book deadline ) . i ' m attaching the full internal enron document for your reference , and i ' d appreciate your thoughts on how best to put the article in your journal . since the subject is highly diagrammatic , i ' m concerned that 4000 words may be too many when coupled with diagrams ! ( it is currently only 6000 words , but is around 25 a 4 pages long . ) if you can give me some guidance on the issue of publishing extensive diagrams as part of the text , i ' ll get to work chopping my work around until it suits your preferred format . shan millie gave me some good feedback on general points of style and clarity in my writing , but incorporating these would actually make the article longer rather than shorter . i think you ' d better look the document over before i do further work on it . i look forward to your response . many thanks , steve leppard enron capital & trade resources corp . from : " navroz patel " 04 / 28 / 2000 03 : 25 pm please respond to " navroz patel " to : cc : subject : dear steven , my name is navroz patel and i am the technical assistant at risk magazine . i am contacting you with regards to your initial dialogue with nick dunbar . we would be grateful if you could email to both of the addresses below a copy of your ' real options ' article for our consideration . please note that articles must have full references , be approximately 4000 words in length , and the attachment should be in ms word or pdf format . npatel @ risk . co . uk ndunbar @ risk . co . uk ? thank you for your interest . yours sincerely , navroz patel . technical assistant , risk magazine .

Subject: my students dear vincent , i spoke with my students yesterday and they told me they have thought about coming to see you again , and they think it ' ll be much better in the future when they are closer to completion of their ph . d . i think this is a very sound idea , but i wanted to give them anyway the opportunity to see the actual working environment at a place like enron . they are both very serious and responsible , so they feel they had better go see you when they would be in a better disposition to give more of themselves to enron . they are both superb students and very hard working individuals , so i do hope you will consider checking them out in the future ( within a year - year and a half ) . i will contact you and / or stinson in the future when they are closer to finishing up . best , carlos

Subject: re : liz demers research seminar marc , thanks for the invitation . i shall attend . vince kaminski enron marc epstein ( by way of kathy spradling < spradlin on 01 / 22 / 2001 03 : 41 : 13 pm to : ( recipient list suppressed ) cc : subject : liz demers research seminar dear faculty bob westbrook and the accounting group has asked me to put together a continuing series of research workshops in accounting . my intention is to invite four or five researchers from around the country to present workshops on topics of interest each year . these are in addition to the normal recruiting seminars that we will have . the researchers will be a combination of senior and junior researchers . in addition to adding to our own research culture , the seminars should help promote the jones school in the academic accounting community . my intention is to invite people that are doing very interesting work that will be of interest to a large portion of the faculty . given the small size of the accounting group , success of the seminars is dependent in part on the participation of faculty from other disciplines . our first seminar will be on february 16 from 10 : 30 - 12 : 00 and will be conducted by elizabeth demers , a stanford phd and presently an assistant professor at rochester . her paper is titled " a rude awakening : internet shakeout in 2000 " and co - authored with baruch lev ( a senior accounting researcher at nyu ) . the work should be of particular interest to faculty in finance and those interested in the valuation of internet companies and the value of intellectual capital and non financial information . i expect that it will be a very interesting seminar . liz will arrive thursday late afternoon and be here all day on friday . i invite any of you who would like to meet with her or join us for a meal , to please let me know . i will appreciate it if you could plan on attending at least some of our seminars . i hope that the topics and presenters will be of interest . thanks for your support . marc marc j . epstein jones graduate school of management rice university 6100 main street houston , texas 77005 - 1892 phone ( 713 ) 348 - 6140 fax ( 713 ) 348 - 5251 email epstein @ rice . edu

Subject: auctions with an incumbent ' s right of first refusal shelley , my colleague , clayton vernon , who has a background in economics , wrote a short summary of arguments against the rofr . we are working on the second approach to the problem : we try to come up with a numerical estimate of the value of this option . the fact that an incumbent shipper has this option has distributional consequences : he has something of value he never paid for . having a numerical estimate of the value of this option could help to argue against it . the value of such an option is case specific ; so we shall rather produce a template you can use for valuation case by case . vince kaminski - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - forwarded by vince j kaminski / hou / ect on 01 / 20 / 2000 08 : 34 am - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - clayton vernon @ enron 01 / 20 / 2000 08 : 29 am to : vince j kaminski / hou / ect @ ect cc : stinson gibner / hou / ect @ ect , zlu / hou / ect @ ect subject : auctions with an incumbent ' s right of first refusal vince - here is an essay on the issue you are discussing : the adverse economic impact of " rights of first refusal " an option to " first refuse " to match a competitor ' s offer is a restraint of free trade and an impediment to efficiency in the marketplace . this economic conclusion is unambiguous . if an " incumbent " has the right to match an offer made by a competitor , for an item or service of value , then few competitors will invest the time and expense necessary to prepare and submit offers , those offers will be lower than they would have been otherwise , and the contract will often be awarded to an inefficient incumbent instead of a more efficient challenger . in a traditional auction , where all bids are sealed and the item up for auction is awarded to the highest bidder , we can safely predict the item will be awarded to the bidder who values it the most , at a price reflecting the full value of the item up for auction . this is the efficient result in a market economy , because the financing of the high bid reflects resources freely allocated to the high bidder . if the auction has open bids , we can again safely predict the item to be awarded to the correct bidder , albeit at a slightly lower price to the donor of the item since the bidder with the highest valuation can simply increment by an infinitesimal amount the second - highest valuation . now , in a modified auction , where an incumbent bidder has the right to match the highest bid and retain the item for himself , each competing bidder must justify his own due diligence and bid preparation expenses against the following , and likely , scenario : the incumbent does not spend himself for due diligence , but instead uses these savings to help finance his matching the top bid from a competitor . simply put , the incumbent with a " right of first refusal " can be safely predicted to simply match their competitor ' s bid by " rule of thumb . " but the incumbent ' s valuation of the item up for auction can be less than the valuation of the competitor , by the amount of the due diligence and administrative expenses . and , the incumbent firm expropriates the expertise of his competitors , not only in their valuations themselves , a nontrivial financial exercise , but in any operational details required to be submitted along with the bid . furthermore , in an esoteric concept known as the " winner ' s curse , " a bidder realizes that if his bid actually prevails , if the incumbent fails to match it , he almost certainly overbid . given this , most competitors will not even bother to bid in an auction when an incumbent has the right of first refusal , and those that submit a bid do not rationally invest the time , expense and expertise necessary ; they may just " fire off " a " low - ball " bid . after all , in almost every conceivable " state of the world " arising from the auction the competitors expect to lose money . so , the incumbent almost always retains the contract at a below - market price , despite the incumbent not necessarily placing the highest value on the contract because the incumbent cannot put the contract to its most efficient use .

Subject: alliance info alert - ferc reporting attached is a summary of recent ferc activities ( pdf file ) and the weekly alliance express . the following is a summary of the most recent ferc meeting , followed by a listing of the most recent ferc filings . in a brief meeting yesterday , ferc approved a final rule adopting section 203 merger filing requirements , generally as proposed , and extended the existing nyiso bid cap in its non - spinning reserves market and the related mandatory bidding requirement until such time that the new york market can be determined to be " workably competitive . " at the same time , ferc ordered a technical conference to explore changes to the nyiso reserves market , and urged market participants to reach a consensus on a preferred solution , next steps , and deadlines for resolution / implementation . additional details are provided below . ferc updates , streamlines merger filing process ferc unanimously approved its proposed order revising the reporting requirements for mergers . however , comm . hebert did so with reservations , as discussed below . commission staff stated that the order closely follows the notice of proposed rulemaking previously issued , but adds more detail and more certainty to the industry . staff stated that the order is improved over the proposed rule because it includes exemptions from reporting for certain entities and it more precisely defines geographical areas and products . according to ferc , the draft order : - revises the commission ' s filing requirements to reflect existing merger policy based on ferc ' s 1996 merger policy guidelines ; - provides more detail for the industry in developing competitive market analyses . the rule continues the existing screening process for mergers with potential horizontal competitive concerns . in addition , the rule establishes informational requirements for vertical competitive analyses . - streamlines filing requirements for transactions that do not raise competitive concerns ; and - reduces the industry ' s regulatory burden by eliminating outdated filing requirements . the rule will take effect 60 days after its publication in the federal register . commissioner reaction : comm . hebert expressed reservations that , although he was voting for the rule , ferc should not be duplicating the department of justice ( doj ) and the federal trade commission ( ftc ) market concentration analyses and that ferc should follow the lead of anti - trust enforcement officials , who could also analyze mergers faster and more confidentially . he also stated that ferc should review the filings after the doj or the ftc review them , not before , and that there should be a definite time frame for review . hebert did mention that he was pleased that rtos and the disposition of transmission assets would be exempt , that ancillary services would be considered as a separate product and that the final rule opens the door for alternative market analysis . comm . breathitt supported the final rule , stating that it should expedite the approval process and that the regulatory burden should be eased due to the fact that older , irrelevant requirements have been dropped . she indicated that the final rule balanced the need for speedy decisions while protecting the public interest by stating that the process will be " efficient yet sufficient " . the commissioner said that she was pleased the final rule addressed technical issues such as computer modeling as well as retail competition and one of her main concerns , confidentiality . comm . massey fully supported the final rule , emphasizing that it would improve response time , lessen the need to ask for more data and allow the industry to better predict commission actions . like commissioner breathitt , massey was pleased that the order will allow market modeling analysis that will better enable ferc to evaluate market concentration and allow applicants to point to other factors when concentration appears too high . massey also stated that the new rule includes the ability to address many of ferc ' s concerns , such as future mergers when they occur in succession , retail competition , mitigation by the enlargement of markets through rtos and analysis of ancillary services . in sum , he averred that the order will provide ferc with the tools it needs for accurate analysis , while taking into consideration the rapid changes in the industry . chairman hoecker also voiced his support and noted that he felt that this was a very important rule . in response to comm . hebert , chairman hoecker said that the doj and ftc actually wait for ferc ' s report before issuing their own , that the anti - trust enforcement agencies rely on ferc ' s expertise when reviewing mergers in the electric and gas industries . there is a major positive connection between industry consolidation and rtos and that both are reconfiguring the markets and effect how they work , he noted . because the rtos enlarge the size of the subject market , he indicated , rtos will help to preserve competition . therefore , more and larger rtos should allow for more mergers , he said . the chairman cautioned that this is not to imply that joining an rto is a requirement for a merger , but that it would certainly be viewed favorably . nyiso bid caps extended until ancillary service market shown to be workably competitive in a 3 - 1 decision , with comm . hebert dissenting , ferc extended the existing nyiso bid cap in its non - spinning reserves market and the related mandatory bidding requirement until such time as that market can be determined to be " workably competitive . " at the same time , ferc ordered a technical conference to explore changes to the nyiso reserves market , and urged market participants to reach a consensus on a preferred solution , next steps , and deadlines for resolution / implementation . in so doing , ferc rejected certain aspects of nyiso ' s september 1 and 8 , 2000 compliance filing , submitted pursuant to its may 31 , 2000 order imposing a temporary bid cap through october 31 . the iso ' s efforts to correct market flaws identified in the order and further strengthen market performance had not yet satisfied the commission ' s directives , ferc concluded . ferc found that while nyiso has achieved solid progress in certain areas , overall the iso has not shown sufficient improvement to warrant raising and then gradually lifting the temporary bid cap in the iso ' s non - spinning reserve market by april 2001 , as the iso requested . commissioner reaction : comms . hoecker , massey and breathitt all endorsed the order as an " imperfect solution , " yet a pragmatic approach toward resolving the flaws plaguing the iso ' s market . comm . hebert faulted the commission for squandering an opportunity to incentivize additional supply by lifting the price controls . hoecker and breathitt joined hebert in expressing disappointment in the lack of the iso ' s progress , but contended that significant outstanding issues must be resolved before the bid cap can be lifted . in other action , ferc accepted nyiso ' s and nepool ' s proposed emergency energy transaction agreement , allowing nyiso and iso - ne to provide emergency service to each other ( ero 0 - 3638 - 000 ) ; stricken items included cae - 16 ( nepool ' s 64 th agreement amendment proposing the elimination of in service and instituting new rules governing certain import transactions ( ero 0 - 3577 - 000 ) ) . = = recent ferc filings = = ( 1 ) rto developments * iso ne submitted its changes to market rule 17 , market monitoring , reporting and market power mitigation , in compliance with the commission ' s july 26 , 2000 order . erol - 368 - 000 . filed november 1 , 2000 . * iso ne submitted its special interim market rule in compliance with the commission ' s july 26 , 2000 order . ero 0 - 369 - 000 . filed november 1 , 2000 . * illinois industrial energy consumers filed to intervene regarding dynegy ' s filing to request approval for the withdrawal of the illinois power co . from the miso . erol - 123 - 000 . filed november 6 , 2000 . * el segundo power filed a motion " requesting order on request for rehearing by date certain " in complaint that challenges the ca iso ' s ability to set the rates for the energy that it can compel generators to produce for reliability under its standard form contract . ero 0 - 1830 - 001 . filed november 3 , 2000 . * ca iso filed an unbundled grid management charge in order to recover its administrative and operating costs . erol - 313 - 000 . comments due by november 22 , 2000 . * nepool submitted supplemental information related to its filing of the sixty - fourth agreement amending the nepool agreement , which proposed the elimination of in service . ero 0 - 3577 - 000 . comments due by november 14 , 2000 .

" introduction to statistics " ( perhaps a database approach - including application to excel ? ) and " applied statistics " ( which would be a more advanced approach that specifies how enron uses - or should use - statistics in risk management marketing ) . please let me know what you think . cordially , anthony sexton * 36304

Subject: ees operational risk per our conversation , here is the model that i have for simon . the notes that i gave you were from some work i did back in september as i was looking for volume numbers . the notes show what drives the final cash flow numbers . briefly , the issue surrounds exactly what is meant by nonmarket and noncredit risk . ideally , this would be anything that effects npv of the deal . however , i think that we should limit ourselves to those things that effect the time and amount of the eam volumes . even here , such a problem set is quite large . if you glance at the spreadsheet model , you will notice that there exists a large number of possible items that effect the eam volumes . if we are to do this rigorously , then it is necessary to tear apart ees ' s business model , and although such an attempt to do so would be noble , the scope of such an excercise may be too large . we need a clear definition of ees operational risk . briefly , from the ees deals that i have looked at , two things drive their profit : a long term bet that power prices will go down , and that we can improve the facility through various enhancements . each of these may be gleaned from the spreadsheet , as well as the assumptions regarding the funding of the facility improvements and so on . 95 % of the savings is assumed to come from power , and 5 % from gas . ( the effeciency gain may not be explicitly given ) . if we have data that show the realized efficiency gains , then it would be simple [ in principle ] to determine a distribution , and hence a distribution of eam volumes , npv ' s , etc . at this time , i understand that rac has determined some of the realized efficiency gains , but my knowledge is quite sketchy . jay hachen may have more info . if i get a chance , i will try to see if i can do a " proof of concept " excercise , but i have a late january deadline on something else . another point : even if we are successful in doing this for the spreadsheet model , ees has chosen to book things differently . i do not have a thorough understanding of their it systems , but at least in principle , if we can do this for the spreadsheet model , then we can do it in their it environment ( data are data are data ) . they may book efficiency gains through improvement type , such as gains due to compressors , chillers , boilers , etc . if this is indeed the case , then we need to have distributions for each type of improvement . if we are successful on the spreadsheet and not successful with their it systems , then the other alternative is to build our own reporting system . it would be similar to a database where the recordsets are replaced by excel workbooks . it can be constructed in such a way as to enable us to run simulations and queries , but this would probably take me about five or six weeks . finally , don hawkins does operational audits for enron ' s physical assets . he sends out teams to audit our pipelines and strategic assets . i don ' t think that he does it for ees , but you might want to give him a call anyway . - kevin k . ps : the ees lunch meeting has been moved to wednesdays . jay hachen will know more .

Subject: california 1 / 17 / 01 pt . ii one of the issues we have been following with respect to the california power crisis concerns the role of prospective broader federal involvement in the issue post - inauguration . in the last two days , we have seen two signals suggesting that the bush administration will not significantly deviate from the " broker " role played by the clinton white house : 1 . in his confirmation hearing this morning , treasury secretary - designate o ' neill cautioned that " it is not clear that us intervention is needed in california " and that the " governor must be the first line of defense . " 2 . a source close to bush economic advisor larry lindsey reported to us yesterday that " there was little that the federal government could do specifically to help , beyond focusing on national issues ( increased production , transmission capacity etc . ) . " of course , the bush treasury officials are likely to be more cautious with respect to intervention than the energy team , as was true with the clinton administration . yet lindsey in particular is unlikely to deviate far from the official bush view at this stage . further guidance should be forthcoming with respect to this issue from energy secretary - designate spence abraham ' s testimony tomorrow .
