For decades, the Capital markets that valued Firm Equities, focussed unvaryingly on expanding Markets, Sales Volumes, Revenues and Profits. Then came Costs, Innovation and Industry Concentration. Other determinants of Market valuation, ratios and measures followed – Net Reserves, Tax Efficiency, Ad Effectiveness, Investor Awareness, so on and so forth. Sustainability took a back seat, and when it come in to focus, it leaned more to the Social than Environmental Sustainability. In other words, more of Corporate Social Responsibility and the less of Climate Change. It is indeed fortuitous that Governments, with a longer foresight due the responsibility of ensuring the safety and sustainability of its people, invested in R&D that yielded the Renewable Technologies of the day. However, and despite the various Renewable Pollution abatement technologies, a common metric applicable across Sectors and Hierarchical Market tiers eluded analysts. AltKuznets in its seminal analysis of Waste externalities, offered a measure to quantify the Closed-Cycle Score, CCS, across the various Sectors of the economy. It also proposed strategies that further incremented the potential to upgrade PE of firms that adopted and incremented the CCS. Specifically, it suggested how listed firms could buy Sustainable expenditures in to their Sustainability capital and leverage the same toward a PE Upgrade in the Equity market.

In this manuscript, AltKuznets proposes a CCS Strategy that offers the potential of a further PE increment. It exploits the Buyer-Seller and hierarchical relationships that exist amongst firms listed in the Equity markets. The strategy rests on the principle CC firms prefer to do business with CC-conformable firms over non-conforming entities, and the same would obtain them a valuation advantage in the market over other firms that conduct business regardless of CC affiliations. By this AltKuznets design, firms are advantaged in their Closed-Cycle Scores by weighting in the CCS scores of firms they do business with - whether Buyers, Sellers, or hierarchical Corporates associates. The strategy creates a Network effect amongst CC-compliant firms that expands their fortunes and generates a positive payoff externality in the form of a ‘public incremental PE’ beyond what they are privately invested in. In a Bullion-administered CC Equity market, firms that do business with other firms with notable CCS Scores claim a higher Benchmark PE relative other firms.

Global Thinning is a Good Global Warming Policy

Global Thinning is a Good Global Warming Policy Ganga Prasad G. Rao In the good ol' days as an Economist at API, despite all the gassing in my office (apparently, something to do with 'spy key', 'gas key' or 'criminal key'?), I made a list of ideas to impress the twelfth floor into sponsoring my green card (I should have known better!). Any way, one of those ideas was that population control was likely a very effective global warming policy. Come to think of it, population growth is an exponential process. Add to it the human desire to live it up, and what you have it is a 'double exponential' growth of demand for various goods and services, each requiring extraction of raw materials, processing, packaging and transportation, not to mention collection and disposal of waste post-consumption. The GHG emissions from these activities can only add to the existing inventory. And, since we are not waiting for glaciers to show up at our doors (if you know wh...

THE ALTKUZNETS ‘GST BOOST’ TO SUSTAINABILITY

Image
Prasad Rao, PhD Director altkuznetsadvisors.com INTRODUCTION The advent of internet, digital financial instruments and online trading platforms has opened a large set of opportunities and issues. Specifically, the rapid & unregulated growth of the online consumer economy, that incremented environmental externalities associated with production, packaging, transportation, consumption and disposal, has remained largely unregulated. This owes to the fact the online platform is an assemblage of many producers, many Retailers, and many consumers, each who are diffusely distributed over a large aerial extent, consequent to which there is both a diffused remote violator and a free rider problem. As trade links deepen and incomes expand, such consumerism is likely to expand, and exacerbate multi-media pollution. It, hence, turns necessary to conceive of a strategy that not only encompasses the enormity of the digital world, but also addresses the complexity from the diffused nature of...
