Download or read book The Failure of Financial Regulation written by Anil Hira and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This publication could not be more timely. Little more than a decade after the global financial crisis of 2008, governments are once again loosening the reins over financial markets. The authors of this volume explain why that is a mistake and could invite yet another major crisis.” —Benjamin Cohen, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA “Leading political scientists from several generations here offer historical depth, as well as sensible suggestions about what reforms are needed now.” —John Kirton, University of Toronto, Canada, and Co-founder of the G7 Research Group “A valuable antidote to complacency for policy-makers, scholars and students.” —Timothy J. Sinclair, University of Warwick, UK This book examines the long-term, previously underappreciated breakdowns in financial regulation that fed into the 2008 global financial crash. While most related literature focuses on short-term factors such as the housing bubble, low interest rates, the breakdown of credit rating services and the emergence of new financial instruments, the authors of this volume contend that the larger trends in finance which continue today are most relevant to understanding the crash. Their analysis focuses on regulatory capture, moral hazard and the reflexive challenges of regulatory intervention in order to demonstrate that financial regulation suffers from long-standing, unaddressed and fundamental weaknesses.
Download or read book The economy in its house written by Marcel Aucoin and published by Iggybook. This book was released on 2024-10-21T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economy is not in the clouds. Instead, the economy is in its own house, which protects it from environmental hazards and guides its activity and growth. Hence a new foundation for economics. This house does not have agents; it is made up of people, objects, and jobs, all interconnected by statistical links. Moreover, it has two parts: the roof that protects and the hearth that operates the production system and includes men and women. Regularly, the roof and the hearth support each other. However, when subjected to the impulse of the State, the roof can reduce the hearth to servitude. The house theory presented herein detines values. Current prices revolve around the weight of the unit of account of a given society. This weight governs exchange rates, and also the probability of ruin of the house. An original concept, the growth energy makes it possible to address with fruit many topics: growth, economic cycles, crises, inequalities, and ruin of the house. We emphasize the importance of redistribution to make crises more bearable and to support growth. One discovers that the soul of a house - a two component miniature house governed solely by three guiding parameters: exposure to vagaries, security, and performance - represents the entire house ideally. Economists, statisticians, and sociologists should appreciate the content of this book. Its methods may also interest theorists of physics and mathematicians. Finally, all people who want to understand the economy, going to the bottom of things, can find new insights herein.

Download or read book Financial Regulation in the EU written by Raphaël Douady and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial regulation has dramatically evolved and strengthened since the crisis on both sides of the Atlantic, with enhanced international coordination through the G-20 and the Financial Stability Board and, at the regional level, a definite contribution from the European Union. However the new regulatory environment has its critics, with many divergent voices arguing that over-regulation has become a root cause of our current economic stagnation. This book provides a bigger picture view of the impact and future of financial regulation in the EU, exploring the relationship between microeconomic incentives and macroeconomic growth, regulation and financial integration, and the changes required in economic policy to further European integration. Bringing together contributions from law, economics and management science, it offers readers an accessible but rigorous understanding of the current state of play of the regulatory environment, and on the future challenges. Coverage will include: • A review of the recent regulatory changes from a legal and economic perspective • Analysis of how the economic model of financial institutions and entities is impacted by the new frameworks • How to improve securitization and new instruments under MIFID II • Issues in the enhanced supervision under delegated acts for AIFMD, CRR-CRD IV and Solvency II • How long term funding can be supplied in lieu of the non-conventional monetary policies • A new architecture for a safer and more efficient European financial system Financial Regulation in the EU provides much needed clarity on the impact of new financial regulation and the future of the economy, and will prove a must have reference for all those working in, researching and affected by these changes.
Download or read book The Economy in its house 2022 edition written by Marcel Aucoin and published by Iggybook. This book was released on 2023-06-26T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title ― The Economy in its House ― echoes Xenophon’s book, Œconomicus, which focuses on the relationship of a house with its environment rather than on trade. It also makes reference to a question from Socrates: "What is a house?". It is by striving to explore these relationships and questions, reflecting the conditions of our time, that we have concluded that the economy is in its house ― and that changes everything. Indeed, this leads us to establish a foundation ― new but grafted onto ancient roots ― for economics. By integrating into our theory the unpredictable environment, we provide economists with a framework to address the multiple issues that arise not only in our common home, the Earth, but also to all other houses. Our model is based on the hypothesis of the random nature of the economy, which brings us closer to modern physics and its methods. On these pillars, our model abstracts economic agents and focuses attention on the interconnected constituents of the house, both their mutual statistical relationships, and those they have with the environment. The covariance matrix that retraces such relationships indicates how the environment disrupts, on average, each constituent during a period. This gives the possibility to explore the destinies of the houses in the short, middle or long run, through crises and changing perspectives of ruin. It makes it possible to identify three essential variables: the growth factor, the growth energy, and finally the prices’ root, which is also the weight of the unit of account and an anti-ruin coefficient. One of the characteristics of modern houses is that, among their constituents, positive covariances outweigh negative covariances. Hence their growth: we explore its links with the reduction of inequalities, and its pathologies: pollution and depletion of resources. We shows how we can fight against crises and inequalities through greater solidarity. We show that one can model any house by use of a miniature house ― its soul ― with two components (the hearth and the roof), and three guiding parameters: exposure to hazards, security, and performance. With these guides, one expresses all the macroeconomic variables relative to a house. These are preserved by passing from a house ― whatever its importance ― to its soul. The wealth of the results obtained shows that the path open must allow economists to go farther and safer in their work while also enabling a broader public to better understand what the economy is.
Download or read book Price and Financial Stability written by David Harrison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are financial prices so much more crisis-prone and unstable than real economy prices? Because they are doing different things. Unlike real economy prices, rooted in the real goods and services produced and exchanged, financial prices attempt to value future income flows from financial and capital assets. These valuations fluctuate erratically because expectations of the future fluctuate – and large liquid financial markets can amplify, rather than correct, these effects. The book builds on the insights of economists Frank Knight and John Maynard Keynes, that uncertainty of the future is essential to understand the processes of economic production and capital investment, and adds to this Karl Popper's general explanation of how expectations of an uncertain future are formed and tested through a trial and error process. Rather than relying on fluctuating financial prices to provide a guide to an uncertain future, it suggests a better approach would be to adopt the methods common to other branches of science, and create testable (falsifiable) theories allowing reasonable predictions to be made. In finance, the elements of one such theory could be based on the concept of forecasting yield from capital assets, which is a measurable phenomenon tending towards aggregate and long-term stability, and where there is a plentiful supply of historic data. By methods like this, financial economics could become a branch of science like any other. To buttress this approach, the widely accepted public policy objective of promoting real economy price stability could be widened to include financial price stability.

Download or read book Power and Influence of Economists written by Jens Maesse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-23 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists occupy leading positions in many different sectors including central and private banks, multinational corporations, the state and the media, as well as serving as policy consultants on everything from health to the environment and security. Power and Influence of Economists explores the interconnected relationship between power, knowledge and influence which has led economics to be both a source and beneficiary of widespread power and influence. The contributors to this book explore the complex and diverse methods and channels that economists have used to exert and expand their influence from different disciplinary and national perspectives. Four different analytical views on the role of power and economics are taken: first, the role of economic expert discourses as power devices for the formation of influential expertise; second, the logics and modalities of governmentality that produce power/knowledge apparatuses between science and society; third, economists as involved in networks between academia, politics and the media; and forth, economics considered as a social field, including questions of legitimacy and unequal relations between economists based on the detention of various capitals. The volume includes case studies on a variety of national configurations of economics, such as the US, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Mexico and Brazil, as well as international spaces and organisations such as the IMF. This book provides innovative research perspectives for students and scholars of heterodox economics, cultural political economy, sociology of professions, network studies, and the social studies of power, discourse and knowledge. “The Open Access version of this book, available at https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edit/10.4324/9780367817084, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.”

Download or read book Financial Innovations and Monetary Reform written by Jean-François Serval and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by two leading experts on multinational accounting and billion-dollar international investment funds, this book provides a framework for a global reform of the world monetary system, and defines a decidedly new approach to dealing with public debt mortgage, an issue that we can see in many countries in Europe and around the world. The authors put forward a proposal for transforming sterile financial masses, which are withdrawn from the real economy as they no longer bear interest, into wealth. To facilitate this return to the real economy, the authors propose that a significant share of public debt be converted into net equities in the world of business and goods production in order to find new profitable investment projects. The idea is bold, and the authors strive to demonstrate its technical feasibility. They are convinced that this approach can accompany and enhance a movement that has already begun, namely the implementation of vast national and international investment programs in major infrastructures and research projects in innovative sectors. This work builds on the authors’ two previous books, which focus on the monetary system. The first, published in 2010 and including a foreword by former French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde, analyzes the new virtual dimension of money. The second, published in 2014, puts forward an innovative proposal for a new financial regulation aimed at more stable economies. This third book is intended for professionals in the financial industry, including decision makers at banks, accounting and private equity firms, as well as policymakers at central banks and government institutions involved in the implementation of financial and monetary reforms.

Download or read book Cinquante ans de crises financi res written by Jacques de Larosière and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2016-05-04 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: « Ce récit est celui des crises financières que les marchés finissent toujours par infliger à ceux qui ont abusé de leurs innovations, de leurs excès et du laxisme ambiant. Le traitement de ces crises, souvent inventif, a consommé beaucoup plus d’énergie que leur prévention et les réformes de fond. J’ai eu le privilège de participer à certaines de ces “sorties de crise”. Par exemple, pour la crise de l’Amérique latine, les négociations de programmes d’ajustement du FMI et l’aide à la transition des pays de l’Europe de l’Est. Mais le tableau reste sombre. La crise de 2007-2008, avec son cortège de chômage et de récession, est une manifestation extrême de ce que peut produire un endettement excessif. Et les politiques monétaires d’aisance quantitative plongent l’observateur que je suis dans un abîme d’interrogations et de doutes. » J. L. De la chute de Bretton Woods à celle de Lehman Brothers, le récit vécu de cinquante ans de crises financières par un acteur de premier plan de la finance et de la monnaie. Les Mémoires d’un homme d’exception et d’influence qui a travaillé aux côtés de Jacques Delors, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Raymond Barre, Paul Volcker et beaucoup d’autres. Jacques de Larosière a fait toute sa carrière au sommet des institutions financières : il a d’abord dirigé le Fonds monétaire international (1978-1987), avant de devenir gouverneur de la Banque de France (1987-1993), puis président de la Banque européenne pour la reconstruction et le développement (1993-1998). Il est conseiller auprès du président de BNP-Paribas.
