Market value is fair only with an active market, at which prices are determined by demand and supply. This is the reason of a discussion about the use of fair value. The opponents of fair value accounting state that exactly fair value has become a cause of financial crisis and had a negative influence on companies.

The purpose of the article is to validate the economic characteristics of fair value and to analyze its` role in a financial crisis |
