Financial Modernization and Regulation (Journal of Financial Services Research, Volume 16.2/16.3)

Book Description

Financial systems around the world are undergoing a process of modernization due to many different forces. Advances in information technology, product and market innovations, and recent regional financial crises have contributed to this movement. As a result, evolution in the financial sector is leading to larger, more complex financial organizations that render inadequate the supervisory and regulatory structures currently in place. While some changes in regulatory policies have already occurred, the adaptation of supervisory oversight and regulation in the face of these new developments is expected to continue for many years to come.
This book collects papers originally presented in September 1998 at the Financial Modernization and Regulation Conference co-sponsored by the Federal Reserve Banks of Atlanta and San Francisco. Revised before publication, the papers seek to identify the reasons for changes in the financial services sector, and the implications these changes pose for financial supervision and regulation. Taken together, the papers offer valuable insights on 1) the forces behind financial modernization; 2) the implications financial modernization poses for corporate structure, market discipline, and financial regulation; 3) how to price deposit insurance accurately to reflect banks' risk-taking; and 4) balancing private versus public interests and managing potentially conflicting public policy goals.

Book Description

The Customs Modernization Act has resulted in major changes to the U.S. Customs Laws, creating new standards that require importers and exporters to use `reasonable care' and to engage in `informed compliance'. Ignorance of customs laws and procedures will no longer operate as a defense against fines and penalties. The new law puts an affirmative duty on importers, exporters, and their representatives to learn the new laws and procedures and how to adhere to them. This new book is essential for all business executives, customs brokers, corporate counsel of international companies, and legal practitioners who need a clear and comprehensive guide to U.S. customs and trade laws so that they can protect themselves and their clients involved in the transport of goods across country lines or the subsequent receipt of same.

From the supplier: Insurance agents are lobbying Congress in support of legislation introduced by Rep Thomas Bliley that would force banks to abide by state insurance regulations. However, Rep Bliley has said that he would not try to attach his bill to a proposal by Rep Jim Leach that seeks to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act, provided that proposal reaches the House Banking Committee without an insurance component. Insurance agents argue that banks believe they are exempt from state insurance regulations.

Dynamic, multi-dimensional, and very user-friendly.......2001-10-13

I loved the design of this book, with its multiple viewpoints and formats in each chapter. There's the short opening dialog illuminating the issues at hand, the standard narrative, lots of useful tables and visuals, a sample slide presentation to educate others, and profiles of practitioners. Very rich. Then there's the reference section with a cornucopia of additional resources organized around how much time you have availabe: an hour, a day, or a week. I had a great time exploring these. Finally, it's a very insightful report on the state of the field (human performance technology)and the most critical issues and questions we must confront going forward.

Book Description

How massive are the largest and smallest nuclear black holes in galaxies? Why are the masses of nuclear black holes proportional to those of their host galaxy bulges? How is nuclear activity triggered? What are the observational signatures of such processes? What are the connections between the active nucleus, stars and interstellar medium in galaxies? Answers to these questions are addressed in this book, which presents a compilation of 191 works covering recent observations from X-rays to radio wavelengths, as well as theoretical modeling of accretion disks, stellar populations and galaxy and black hole evolution. This volume presents the nuclear activity as a phase in the life of a galaxy, which is intimately connected to the evolution of its stars and interstellar medium. It brings together recent developments in topics covering most aspects of galaxy evolution, and is a valuable resource for astronomers and graduate students working in extragalactic astronomy.
