Tiivistelmä: | A highly speculative parallel stock market, called Souk al-Manakh, emerged in Kuwait in 1980-81. Due to the absence of checks and balances, the default of one trader led to the collapse of al-Manakh in 1982. The crash precipitated an economic recession, business failures, and more bankruptcies among traders. In this paper a linear programming model is presented to disentangle the bankruptcies of al-Manakh's insolvents. It identified solvent from insolvent traders, determined their debt settlement ratios, and set a fair and equitable distribution of debtor's mixed assets to their respective creditors. The paper demonstrates the special properties of the LP model and its relationship to a system of linear equations through a numeric example. Also the legal, financial, and economic controversies are presented. |
