Book excerpt: Interest is developing in a multipurpose prepaid smart card commonly known as the electronic purse, intended to facilitate a variety of small-value financial transactions. Such cards would be a substitute for currency. This paper begins with an overview of smart card technology, the advantages and drawbacks of electronic purses, and the barriers to development of electronic purse systems. It then reviews major electronic purse projects and other prepaid card applications that are under way or planned worldwide, such as the Mondex system and the UBI home electronic highway project. Finally, the paper examines some key policy issues associated with the use of electronic purses, particularly in the Canadian context. These issues include regulatory issues in the payments system, security and fraud issues, legal monopolies on notes and coins, seigniorage, and monetary policy implications. The appendix includes a list of major electronic purse projects by country.

Book excerpt: This paper uses a unique data set covering 12 national systems to document the current state of electronic purse projects in Europe. Specifically, it presents and compares rates of penetration and use, and analyses their evolution over time. While one or two EPs perform significantly better than the others, retailer acceptance and consumer uptake invariably fall short of expectations. This does not bode well for the use of EPs on the Internet, and particularly since the virtual world presents a number of additional hurdles. On the other hand, it may also present additional opportunities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Power of the Purse, E. James Ferguson examines the intricate financial history of the American Revolution and the Confederation and connects it to political and constitutional developments in the period. Whether states or Congress should pay the debts of the Revolution and collect the taxes was a pivotal question whose solution would largely determine the country's progress toward national union. Ultimately, says Ferguson, the Revolutionary debt fulfilled an important purpose as a "bond of union." Ferguson's masterful analysis, originally published in 1961, has become a classic among the literature on the American Revolution.

This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades, the world has witnessed advancements in electronic payments. From debit cards also regarded as "e-cheques" through to credit cards seen as "e-loans" to electronic purses "e-purses" which are essentially a form of "e-cash," consumers, merchants and issuers have begun to take advantage of advancements in telecommunication technology to facilitate payments using these means. However, although in the early 1990s, it was suggested by some payment analysts that smart cards particularly those with e-purse capabilities would lead to a cashless society, this has not been the case. This book aims to provide reasons for this slow adoption of electronic purses by comparing user adoption between Nigeria and the United Kingdom to arrive at the salient factors which are responsible for discouraging the adoption of this technology. Finally, using both qualitative and quantitative data from a diverse sample set within the two countries, I reach conclusions regarding which country would more readily adopt this method of payment.

Download or read book Copper written by Nnamdi Anyadike and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2002-03-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation In the next few decades copper will help to consolidate advances in telecommunications and Internet technology. The outlook for copper is bright, and despite the onset of recession in 2000, demand should pick up from 2002-2003 and return to reasonable industrial growth rates in the developed world. World copper prices are predicted to rise due to the dearth of new mining projects in the economic climate of 2001 and steadily rising metal demand led by China. In order to meet increased demand over the next 10 years there will have to be new mining capacity, including recycling of scrap copper and restarting idled capacity. China showed 13.6% growth in demand up to June 2001 and could overtake the US as the world's number one copper consumer in the next 20 years. Up-to-date, in-depth research and analysis to make you an authority on the world's major copper markets this report gives a clear, objective analysis of the world copper industry as it prepares to take advantage of soaring demand in the electronic, electrical and telecommunications industries. Some key findings of this report: How the output of the world's leading copper mines, Escondida, Chuquicamata and el Teniente is set to change over the next few years and what this means for Chilean and world copper production. Beyond 2003 copper demand will flatten in the mature, developed Western countries: this will leave the market delicately poised, and producers will largely be determining their own destinies when deciding when to commit to new projects. In the second half of this decade copper demand should pick up strongly, feeding fears of a shortfall in supply. Peru's copper output is set to be boosted by 50% through the Antamina mining project, owned by the Canadian consortium of Rio Algom, Noranda, Teck Corp and Mitsui. Telecommunications is a large and growing market for copper: the sector has seen factory sales growing at 8.3% compound rate over the past 8 years, led by strong growth in construction along with the increasing popularity of the Internet. Demand from the automotive sector will also boost consumption of copper in electrical and electronic applications. In 2001 the average copper content of a passenger car was 60lb, compared with under 55lb in 1995.
