3.52M 英文 2003.07　　共三大部分　16章

The essential feature of derivatives that distinguishes them from traditional agreements to purchase or sell a physical or financial asset on the spot is the explicit treatment in derivatives contracts of time and space. A spot transaction is the purchase or sale of an asset for immediate delivery by the seller to the purchaser, whereas derivatives involve the purchase or sale of an asset at a specified place and time that differs from the here and now. As a result, derivatives are essentially contracts to facilitate asset loans over space and time.
