ALLEN* In April 1985, the North American Securities Administrators Association adopted the Model State Commodity Code. The Model Code is designed to regulate off-exchange futures and options contracts, forward contracts, and other contracts for the sale of physical commodities but not exchange-traded commodity futures contracts or exchange-traded commodity options. Specif- ically, the Model Code addresses the problem of boiler-rooms and bucket shops-that is, the fraudulent sale of commodities to the investing public.

PRIVATE ORDERING AT THE WORLD'S FIRST FUTURES EXCHANGE Mark D. West* INTRODUCTION Modern derivative securities - financial instruments whose value is linked to or "derived" from some other asset - are often sophisti­ cated, complex, and subject to a variety of rules and regulations. The same is true of the derivative instruments traded at the world's first organized futures exchange, the Dojima Rice Exchange in Osaka, Japan, where trade flourished for nearly 300 years, from the late sev­ enteenth century until shortly before World War II. This Article analyzes Dojima's organization, efficiency, and amalgam of legal and extralegal rules. In doing so, it contributes to a growing body of litera­ ture on commercial self-regulation1 while shedding new light on three areas of legal and economic theory.

ISBN 978-1-78467-046-7 i December 2015: The evolution of European traded gas hubs Preface In following the process of the transition of continental European gas pricing over the past decade, research papers published by the OIES Gas Programme have increasingly observed that the move from oil-indexed to hub or market pricing is a clear secular trend, strongest in northwest Europe but spreading southwards and eastwards. Certainly at an overview level, such a statement appears to be supported by the measurable levels of trading volumes and liquidity. The annual surveys on pricing of wholesale gas undertaken by the IGU also lend quantitative evidence of these trends. So if gas hub development dynamics in Europe are analogous to ‘ripples in a pond’ spreading outwards from the UK and Dutch ‘epicentre’, what evidence do we have that national markets and planned or nascent hubs at the periphery are responding? This is more than an academic question.
