Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book discusses financial crisis management and policy in Europe and Latin America, with a special focus on equity and democracy. Based on a three-year research project by the Jean Monnet Network, this volume takes an interdisciplinary, comparative approach, analyzing both the role and impact of the EU and regional organizations in Latin America on crisis management as well as the consequences of crisis on the process of European integration and on Latin America’s regionalism. The book begins with a theoretical introduction, exploring the effects of the paradigm change on economic policies in Europe and in Latin America and analyzing key systemic aspects of the unsustainability of the present economic system explaining the global crises and their interconnections. The following chapters are divided into sections. The second section explores aspects of regional governance and how the economic and financial crises were managed on a macro level in Europe and Latin America. The third and fourth sections use case studies to drill down to the impact of the crises at the national and regional levels, including the emergence of political polarization and rise in populism in both areas. The last section presents proposals for reform, including the transition from finance capitalism to a sustainable real capitalism in both regions and at the inter-regional level of EU-LAC relations.The volume concludes with an epilogue on financial crises, regionalism, and domestic adjustment by Loukas Tsoukalis, President of the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP). Written by an international network of academics, practitioners and policy advisors, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students interested in macroeconomics, comparative regionalism, democracy, and financial crisis management as well as politicians, policy advisors, and members of national and regional organizations in the EU and Latin America.
Download or read book The Internationalization of Equity Markets written by Jeffrey A. Frankel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume addresses three important recent trends in the internationalization of United States equity markets: extensive market integration through foreign investment and links among stock prices around the world; increasing securitization as countries such as Japan come to rely more than ever before on markets in equities and bonds at the expense of banks; and the opening of national financial systems of newly industrializing countries to international financial flows and institutions, as governments remove capital controls and other barriers. Eight essays examine such issues as the current extent of international market integration, gains to U.S. investors through international diversification, home-country bias in investing, the role of time and location around the world in stock trading, and the behavior of country funds. Other, long-standing questions about equity markets are also addressed, including market efficiency and the accuracy of models of expected returns, with a particular focus on variances, covariances, and the price of risk according to the Capital Asset Pricing Model.

Download or read book The Clash of the Cultures written by John C. Bogle and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recommended Reading by Warren Buffet in his March 2013 Letter to Shareholders How speculation has come to dominate investment—a hard-hitting look from the creator of the first index fund. Over the course of his sixty-year career in the mutual fund industry, Vanguard Group founder John C. Bogle has witnessed a massive shift in the culture of the financial sector. The prudent, value-adding culture of long-term investment has been crowded out by an aggressive, value-destroying culture of short-term speculation. Mr. Bogle has not been merely an eye-witness to these changes, but one of the financial sector’s most active participants. In The Clash of the Cultures, he urges a return to the common sense principles of long-term investing. Provocative and refreshingly candid, this book discusses Mr. Bogle's views on the changing culture in the mutual fund industry, how speculation has invaded our national retirement system, the failure of our institutional money managers to effectively participate in corporate governance, and the need for a federal standard of fiduciary duty. Mr. Bogle recounts the history of the index mutual fund, how he created it, and how exchange-traded index funds have altered its original concept of long-term investing. He also presents a first-hand history of Wellington Fund, a real-world case study on the success of investment and the failure of speculation. The book concludes with ten simple rules that will help investors meet their financial goals. Here, he presents a common sense strategy that "may not be the best strategy ever devised. But the number of strategies that are worse is infinite." The Clash of the Cultures: Investment vs. Speculation completes the trilogy of best-selling books, beginning with Bogle on Investing: The First 50 Years (2001) and Don't Count on It! (2011)

Download or read book Banking Transaction Tax Unviable Refuting the Proposition of Arthakranti written by Dr.V.V.L.N. Sastry and published by Blue Diamond Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxation is the main source of revenue of most governments. However, some taxes are “good” whereas others are bad. In the context of India, banking transaction tax is one of the “bad” taxes. A report by Arthkranti, a Pune-based economic think tank, proposes a means of overcoming the financial problems facing India for which it suggests replacement of the existing taxes in India with a banking transaction tax. Various scholars claim that the introduction of banking transaction tax would have a devastating impact on India. This coming hot on the heels of the implementation of another radical policy, demonetization, which had a negative impact on the economy. Preliminary analysis shows that introduction of bank transaction tax by India is not desirable. Most Indians, especially those in rural areas, do not have bank accounts. This will limit the revenues of the tax. In addition, it will discourage people who do not have accounts from opening accounts. Banking transaction tax will also increase use of cash transactions, which would not be subjected to tax, at a time when the government tries to foster the growth of a cashless economy. In fact, the creation of a cashless economy was one of the aims of demonetization. The cascading nature of the tax would make it have unequal impacts across different assets and sectors of the economy. It would lead to a distortion in the economic activity in the country, which is just recovering from the shock of demonetization. This paper will detail the impact of introduction of banking transaction tax using certain Latin American countries (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, and Ecuador), Australia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, and India as case studies of the implementation of banking transaction tax. The paper also details the pros and cons of banking transaction tax. Case study analysis and analysis of the pros and cons of banking transaction tax will be used to show why the government of India should not adopt the banking transaction tax.
Download or read book International Financial Flows and Transactions Taxes written by Mr.P. Bernd Spahn and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tobin has suggested that exchange rate volatility be controlled through a tax on international financial transactions. This analysis shows that the Tobin tax as a pure transaction tax is not viable. The tax would impair financial operations and create international liquidity problems. It is also unlikely to deter speculation. However, a possible alternative would be a two-tier rate structure—consisting of a low-rate transaction tax plus an exchange surcharge. The exchange rate could move freely within a “crawling” exchange rate band, but overshooting the band would trigger a tax on an “externality,” which is the discrepancy between the market exchange rate and the closest margin of the band. The scheme is inspired by the European Monetary System. However, exchange rates would be kept within the target range through a tax, not through interest policy or central bank sterilization and, eventually, the depletion of international reserves.
