A new model for the contemporary market prices mechanism.

1. INTRODUCTION
The unanimous impression underlines the fact that integration in
contemporary global market development exceeded too much and to profound
the conceptual frame formulated as work hypothesis for the beginning of
'80's the realities evolving radically uncontrolled. In this
case, the free capital global running is no longer a factor for market
equilibrium as "market fundamentalists" predicted, financial
integration as global process creating and forcing gradually the market
bubbles in lack of an efficient frame of global supervision.
As many theoreticians have underlined and predicted in the past
three decades (Soros, 1986 and Stiglitz, 2006,), the free access to the
international monetary and financial system, in the framework of free
capital movement, let the banking system liberty to deny its fundamental
ration as simple capital intermediation agent, forcing a severe and
imprudent competition of borrowers and lenders, thus determining a
harmful run after market speculations. In this order, many of banking
companies becomes financial corporation with valences on regional and
international level, cumulating many other complex functions in
investment and less in saving management, implying themselves
in major capital markets, including in those speculative ones. The
differentiated risks, assumed on different areas on volatile
transactions, should at least on theoretically level, to sustain the
speculative activities of these corporations in balance with their
classical operations in saving management.
Unfortunately, in the present market conditions, the tendency for
sustaining the severe gap between short and long maturities based on
artificial grown market values is not a valuable work hypothesis but a
false and harmful option in market management. Therefore, opposite to
market sensibility, the maturities binder is based on real value of
guarantees brought into transaction consisted in mortgages.
In this order, comes inevitable the idea that the market prices
becomes highly volatile in the presence of market severe corrections,
determined by the economic and financial framework conjuncture.
2. THE NEW MODEL OF MARKET VALUES MECHANISM
The "supply and demand scissors" owed to A. Marshall
theory about market prices mechanism (Marshall, 1920), in its initial
optics, prove itself as being important for the new financial and
economic realities, in relation with the over-sophisticated complex of
contemporary financial banking mechanisms, operations and market
instruments. Dynamically speaking, the evolution of supply and demand
curves, are substantially depending on the nuances of real values
concept and relevancy in relation with market values consistency, from
this point of view the exclusive determinations imposed through the
symmetrical value theory wouldn't be exhaustive, univalent and
exclusive (Marshal, 1920).
Thus, the market supply and demand dynamics won't determine
exclusively the equilibrium prices in one way, but also the market
prices distorted by the credit tendency or by other market variables are
able, from the opposite way, to determine the supply and demand
evolution as well. From this perspective, the real values dynamics,
expressed through getting the human-social optimum in supply and demand
arbitration, has two distinctive components, with contrary motion on
contemporary market prices mechanism evolution (Ionescu, Popa, 2010):
--Centrifugal type of values--created after symmetrical values
theory from moderating market supply and demand this type of values have
the tendency for a permanent growing being feed in its evolution by
those measures regarding the consumption stimulation through credit and
by those aggressive politics for excessive production and consumption
segments diversification or extensive incentive.
--Centripetal type of values--that are influencing in opposite way
the supply and demand curve evolutions, in respect of getting a market
equilibrium price, limiting or correcting in reverse the market prices
tendency, starting from the relevancy of real human needs and scarcity
of resources, in terms of objective consumption limits.
Thus, the human-social values quantify not only the purchasing
power parity or the marginal good's utility after case, but in
particularly the subjective perception regarding the risks assumed on
long terms, in relation with the objective appraisal and perception of
the real effort allocated to investment basis.
In this context, we consider that the credit is able to distort the
perception regarding the human-social values, as it has been observed in
the period of the last decades studying the house holding behavior
(Popa, 2008). Due to its effect above the immediate consumption, the
credit has "diluting" the risk perception and
"camouflaging" the perception of real human effort
compensation, stimulated by the possibility of the maturities rolling
procedures in banking market operations.
As it can be observed from the below graph (fig. 1), built in
Keynesian perspective (Sowell, 2004), the aggregate supply and demand
(that determine the equilibrium point Pe) are influenced by the credit
dynamics, distorting the consumption and the aggregate services and
goods output as well. Therefore, the equilibrium market price Pe is
retranslated in point P'e, into an unsustainable manner on a long
time, due to the price growth from P1 to P2 (based on the artificial
incomes growth) in correlation with the responsive supply extension from
Q1 to Q2 (excessive "diversification" effect based on the
aligning supply tendency related to an expansive demand).
Together with this described trend will artificial grow also the
mortgages market values to that level where the aggregate supply and
demand wouldn't be able to be sustained by the credit expansion,
the correction coming up on the maximum offered rate for short time
financial operation (Popa, 2008).
The moment of starting market values depreciation will conduct
toward maturities shortage, diluting the credit as guarantee basis of
conception and production. The general tendency for closing position on
financial and monetary markets will generate on a short time a severe
liquidity deficit on markets (a financial crisis) and after a while, on
a long time, will induce a profound economic crisis in lack of market
trust and its real values market perceptions.

3. NEXT ACTIONS PRIORITIES
Beyond the contagious mechanism of crisis described by the spiral
"demand-credit-consumption", the evaluation risks can be
anticipated only through a correct correlation with the cyclic model of
economic evolution. In this order, will try to prove in very next
researches that the market pressure, as market indicator should be
correlated with the long term tendencies, taking under consideration the
existence of economic cycles, when the human needs and marginal
utilities are forced to be adjusted, based on discrepancies between real
values and artificial market values.
4. CONCLUSIONS
In the last three decades the major tendency has been the
separation of international financial industry by the real economy, the
industry being tied by the financial system not only through the
economic rations but first by the speculative criteria. The money price
becomes aliened by the real purchasing power, all the market values
being appraised not based on the short term perspective in a healthy
way, but on the long and very long time horizon, thus deforming the
price market mechanism itself. Therefore, the goods, services and
business appraisal have been translated in the future, in a wrong and
subversive manner.
Therefore, the crisis are not determined exclusive and definitively
by the consumption "repulse" or by a lack of liquidities on
the market. On the contrary the generally deflation indicates an excess
of international liquidities related with the appetite for risk. The
generalized prices diminishing for investment goods, beyond the domino
effect triggered in mortgage market, are able to relaunch the
consumption on healthy basis and would reduce the panic related to the
short term decision options or to the banking system overdue
negotiations. This theory should be first correlated together with short
term credit overdue "rolling" on a time grading long term
formula and second together with the real manufacture sector
restructuring. For a developed country the optimum economical revival
method is not a variable of credit policy anymore but is dependable by
the quality of the incomes/prices level on market that becomes unsecured
under unemployment pressure. The capital injection in transnational
companies who produces overstocks will stimulates the growth of those
enterprises who already forget about production optimization models
throughout short cycles (Kitchin cycles, Schumpeter, 1961).
