Book excerpt: The data that mortgage lending institutions reported for 2008 under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975 (HMDA) reflect the ongoing difficulties in the housing and mortgage markets. This article presents a number of key findings from a review of the 2008 HMDA data. In particular, it documents a reduction in lending activity that was experienced by all groups of borrowers, highlights the Federal Housing Administration's greatly expanded role in the mortgage market, and examines how atypical changes in the interest rate environment affected the incidence of reported higher-priced lending in 2008 relative to earlier years.

Download or read book Do the Government Sponsored Entities Expand the Supply of Mortgage Credit Revisited A Reassessment of Gabriel and Rosenthal s Examination of Crowdout in the Secondary Mortgage Market written by Robert Foran and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 2008 Financial Crisis, the housing-finance market has undergone significant changes, with the government-sponsored entities (GSEs) – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – entering federal conservatorship, the private-label securitization market substantially disappearing, and the proportion of mortgages purchased by non-GSE private sector entities declining as well. Using public information reported by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Census Bureau, this paper examines characteristics of the housing finance market in the period since the Financial Crisis and the degree to which the GSEs crowd out private activity. The work extends Gabriel and Rosenthal’s analysis using Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data from 1994 to 2008, during which the housing finance market grew dramatically. The empirical analysis follows GR’s approach, using a census tract’s underserved status as an instrument for GSE purchases. The findings indicate GSEs do crowd out private sector activity but the degree of crowd out is of very limited economic significance.
Download or read book 13 Bankers written by Simon Johnson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of its key role in creating the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, the American banking industry has grown bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks whose assets amount to more than 60 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, this oligarchy proved it could first hold the global economy hostage and then use its political muscle to fight off meaningful reform. 13 Bankers brilliantly charts the rise to power of the financial sector and forcefully argues that we must break up the big banks if we want to avoid future financial catastrophes. Updated, with additional analysis of the government’s recent attempt to reform the banking industry, this is a timely and expert account of our troubled political economy.

Owning a home can bestow a sense of security and independence. But today, in a cruel twist, many Americans now regard their homes as a source of worry and dashed expectations. How did everything go haywire? And what can we do about it now? In The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Mortgage and Credit Markets, renowned finance expert James Barth offers a comprehensive examination of the mortgage meltdown. Together with a team of economists at the Milken Institute, he explores the shock waves that have rippled through the entire financial sector and the real economy. Deploying an incredibly detailed and extensive set of data, the book offers in-depth analysis of the mortgage meltdown and the resulting worldwide financial crisis. This authoritative volume explores what went wrong in every critical area, including securitization, loan origination practices, regulation and supervision, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, leverage and accounting practices, and of course, the rating agencies. The authors explain the steps the government has taken to address the crisis thus far, arguing that we have yet to address the larger issues.

Download or read book Foreclosed written by Daniel Immergluck and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two years, the United States has observed, with some horror, the explosion and collapse of entire segments of the housing market, especially those driven by subprime and alternative or "exotic" home mortgage lending. The unfortunately timely Foreclosed explains the rise of high-risk lending and why these newer types of loans—and their associated regulatory infrastructure—failed in substantial ways. Dan Immergluck narrates the boom in subprime and exotic loans, recounting how financial innovations and deregulation facilitated excessive risk-taking, and how these loans have harmed different populations and communities. Immergluck, who has been working, researching, and writing on issues tied to housing finance and neighborhood change for almost twenty years, has an intimate knowledge of the promotion of homeownership and the history of mortgages in the United States. The changes to the mortgage market over the past fifteen years—including the securitization of mortgages and the failure of regulators to maintain control over a much riskier array of mortgage products—led, he finds, inexorably to the current crisis. After describing the development of generally stable and risk-limiting mortgage markets throughout much of the twentieth century, Foreclosed details how federal policy-makers failed to regulate the new high-risk lending markets that arose in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The book also examines federal, state, and local efforts to deal with the mortgage and foreclosure crisis of 2007 and 2008. Immergluck draws upon his wealth of experience to provide an overarching set of principles and a detailed set of policy recommendations for "righting the ship" of U.S. housing finance in ways that will promote affordable yet sustainable homeownership as an option for a broad set of households and communities.

Book excerpt: The earlier public releases of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act ("HMDA") data in 2004-2006 engendered lively and, sometimes impassioned, debate over the pricing of mortgage credit and its implications regarding the treatment of minority mortgage borrowers. In the decade before the HMDA data contained pricing information, most of the debates concerning mortgage lending focused on the access to credit of minority borrowers. With the release, on September 11, 2008 of the 2007 HMDA data, it is clear that both the pricing of mortgages for minority borrowers, and the access to credit for home mortgages, remain issues that require detailed exploration. In one sense, the dramatic decline in lenders reporting higher quantities of high priced loans should provide reassurance to those concerned with any disparities in pricing. On the other hand, the percentages of loans originated to minority borrowers, relative to past years, cannot but refocus concern on access to credit. This paper presents some detailed information on lending, on a loan level, in the 2004-2005 years as the subprime industry was growing rapidly. We also highlight some of the recent changes observed in the primary and secondary markets that might impact examinations of potential discrimination in lending over the next few years.
Download or read book Discrimination and Privacy in the Information Society written by Bart Custers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vast amounts of data are nowadays collected, stored and processed, in an effort to assist in making a variety of administrative and governmental decisions. These innovative steps considerably improve the speed, effectiveness and quality of decisions. Analyses are increasingly performed by data mining and profiling technologies that statistically and automatically determine patterns and trends. However, when such practices lead to unwanted or unjustified selections, they may result in unacceptable forms of discrimination. Processing vast amounts of data may lead to situations in which data controllers know many of the characteristics, behaviors and whereabouts of people. In some cases, analysts might know more about individuals than these individuals know about themselves. Judging people by their digital identities sheds a different light on our views of privacy and data protection. This book discusses discrimination and privacy issues related to data mining and profiling practices. It provides technological and regulatory solutions, to problems which arise in these innovative contexts. The book explains that common measures for mitigating privacy and discrimination, such as access controls and anonymity, fail to properly resolve privacy and discrimination concerns. Therefore, new solutions, focusing on technology design, transparency and accountability are called for and set forth.

Download or read book Moving Forward written by Nicolas P. Retsinas and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and Harvard University Joint Center for Housing Studies publication The recent collapse of the mortgage market revealed fractures in the credit market that have deep roots in the system's structure, conduct, and regulation. The time has come for a clear-eyed assessment of what happened and how the system should be strengthened and restructured. Such reform will have a profound and lasting impact on the capacity of Americans to use credit to build assets and finance consumption. Moving Forward explores what caused the crisis and, more important, focuses on the path ahead. The challenge remains the same as ever: protect consumers, ensure fairness, and guarantee soundness of the financial system without stifling innovation and overly restricting access to credit and consumer choice. Nicolas Retsinas, Eric Belsky, and their colleagues aim to stimulate debate based on analysis of the opportunities and challenges presented by the various components of global capital markets: financial engineering, risk assessment and management, specialization of financial intermediation, and marketing methods. The contributors—leaders in business, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector—discuss new research and ideas about the future of credit markets, including how improvements might be shaped by industry leaders.
