On Concept Origin Classification
The Kabutocho Dictionary classifies each concept by its Origin. Within the body text, however, we combine academic papers, institutional records, regulatory materials, exchange documentation, market practice, and practitioner insight as appropriate to support understanding and verification. A citation is treated as supporting evidence for the explanation, not as an indicator of the concept's origin.
Academic Origin
Concepts formed through academic research and theoretical frameworks, systematized and developed through peer-reviewed papers and textbooks. These form the foundation of financial economics and finance theory.
Examples: CAPM, Optimal Hedge Ratio, Modern Portfolio Theory, Convenience Yield, Cost of Carry
