METHODS FOR ALLOCATING RISKS IN FUTURE PUBLIC POLICY ACTIONS

摘要

Computer-implemented methods for allocating risks from public policy developments are described. The methods include identifying a future public policy action with economic impact; identifying a parameter to indicate that the policy action has or has not occurred; creating a contractual instrument that is based on the occurrence of the policy action; and trading the instrument. A contractual instrument based upon on an occurrence of a public policy action in electronic form and tradable in the methods is also described.
