From the author: This paper models the diffusion pattern of financial innovations. Our model distinguishes between two factors, internal and external influence, that determine banks' decision to adopt an innovation. Internal influence refers to competitive, strategic, and informational factors that are related to the number of banks that have adopted the innovation earlier and external influence captures the effect of exogenous factors on banks' assessment of the innovation's desirability. While the latter has been analysed extensively in the literature, little attention has been paid to how the adoption of an innovation by one bank makes it more or less desirable for other banks to adopt the innovation (internal influence). We use mathematical diffusion models to examine the diffusion structure of two financial innovations; junk bonds and note issuance facilities (NIFs). We find evidence for positive internal influence at both first-time and repeat adoption levels by banks. Internal adoption dominated the diffusion pattern of NIFs but not for junk bonds. The results of this paper shows that innovations diffuse among banks in a more dynamic environment than is usually assumed in the literature.

From the author: This paper examines double liability as it existed in the United States prior to the Great Depression and assesses its impact upon bank risk taking. Under double liability, shareholders of failing banks could lose, in addition to the initial purchase price of shares, an amount equal to the par value of shares owned. This paper assesses whether or not banks chartered in states with double liability laws undertook less risk than banks operating under conventional limited liability. The results suggest that double liability did reduce bank risk taking, but did not guarantee bank stability in times of widespread financial distress.

Its focus is on the capital market's reaction to losses suffered by four end-users of OTC derivatives products arranged with Bankers Trust NY. Evidence is provided on the impact of these end-user losses on Bankers Trust itself, as well as whether these losses produced any systemic or contagion effects extending to other major bank OTC derivatives dealers. Finally, the paper investigates whether possible systemic effects may be associated with bank specific characteristics such the level of derivatives exposure, counterparty risk, and reliance on trading income.

From the supplier: A general equilibrium model of banking is developed to study the following issue: when does expansionary monetary policy result in an increase in lending, and when does the policy simply lead to more inflation. Banks are required to hold nominal reserves and have access to deposit insurance; the financial structure results in a determinate deposit-equity ratio. Monetary policy is implemented by open-market operations and changes in nominal reserves and the policies are linked through the government's budget constraint. In this model, monetary policy has real effects because it can affect the amount of real wealth transferred between savers and dissavers, which in turn affects the leading decisions of banks and, hence, real output. The bank acts as a financial intermediary between producers and savers (households) and the government and households. The intermediation process between producers and savers is based on the Gale and Hellwig (1985) model in which there is credit rationing because of asymmetric information and costly state verification. When banks are able to write state-contingent standard debt contracts and monitoring costs are indexed for inflation, government reserve policy and open market operations have no real effects. This occurs despite reserve requirements, deposit insurance and the determinate deposit-equity ratio. While these policies increase the nominal assets in the banking sector, prices increase so that real lending and consumption allocations are unchanged. When monitoring costs are no longer perfectly indexed for inflation, in particular, monitoring costs rise (fall) by a smaller percentage than prices increase (decrease), an increase in reserves or open market operations increases real lending and prices.

From the supplier: This paper develops a general equilibrium model of monetary non-neutrality that is a natural result of three basic assumptions: (1) financial intermediaries face reserve requirements on deposits, (2) financial intermediaries are the conduit for central bank monetary injections, and (3) monetary injections are not initially subject to reserve requirements. This asymmetry on the imposition of reserve requirements results in stochastic monetary injections being expansionary. The model also gives rise to an endogenous money multiplier because some purchases are made with cash, while others with checking accounts, and the cash vs. check composition of total purchases varies, with the aggregate shocks.

Book Description

If you've ever been a part of an online community, you are aware of all the great features it offers. Dynamic news, forums, calendars and polls are just a few of the elements that you can benefit from in an online community. Now is your chance to learn how it's done and create your own online community. ASP.NET Evolution will show you how to take what you already know about ASP.NET programming and apply it to building a full-scale web application. With solid example code, you will be guided through the building process, making progressively bigger changes to the code as you move through the chapters. The entire example application is available for download and an online forum dedicated to this book will be available to you to discuss the book with the author and other readers. Develop your ASP.NET knowledge with ASP.NET Evolution.

Download Description

Vast numbers of people are attracted to ASP.NET because of the relative ease with which Web applications can be developed. However, many beginning developers often have no experience in building a full-scale application. They quickly run into problems as the complexity increases. This book addresses the desire among these developers for solid example code by giving them a completed application that they can personalize to their own needs, rather than having to start from scratch. The application is an online community -- the type of application that most novice ASP.NET developers want to build. Features such as dynamic news, updateable image galleries, Web logs, email newsletters, forums, events calendar and polls are all included. The example application is used as the basis for a variety of learning activities. After being introduced to the application, readers are guided through making progressively bigger changes to the code and adapting it to their own needs. This unique teaching style instills a sense of ownership that will give each reader the confidence to make further changes. By the time they have finished the book, each reader will have adapted the example application, making it their application.

Rubbish!.......2005-08-30

I bought the book for two reasons
1)It was supposed to be above beginner level
2)It was supposed to be in C#
3)It was supposed to be really hands-on

i'm only in chapter 2 and the book has already failed in point 2.
How the h**l did the publishers let such a kind of blunder get to print, i'm really disappointed. It just goes to show you cant judge a book by its cover, ....(rubbish)

If you are ready for a big fight, got the book.......2005-02-27

The book is not for anybody that wants a smooth drive! I have spent 2 weeks, 60 hours on the book and you know what, I haven't seen the output of the initial program.

The idea to learn from real porject is very appealing but this book did an extremely horrible job in explaining basic concepts and providing any help in troubleshooting. As has been mentioned by other guys, there is no forum to get help. Out of despair, I even wrote a personal message to the author one week ago to ask for help, but yet to get any response.

The problem I have in setting up the initial application:
1. Some errors in the source code. for example, we shall use findobject rather than find when calling from facade.
2. Some problem with the mapping file(repository). The file is supposed to map the database schema to the class in VB.Net code. I got errors pointing to the file.

what I am doing now is debugging line by line after download the OJB.net source code, hoping to locating the problem in the mapping file.

The terms and concepts adapted by the author to "decribe" an online community is also twisted, making the book even harder to digest.

I got the book at around $10(used), I was so happy that I got a good deal, now you shall know why I have had the book so cheap!

Mr. Dan Kent will be removed from my future books' author list.

Terrible.......2004-10-18

Don't waste your money. I picked up this book because the process described in learning ASP.Net seemed like a good route to go, however, they do a terrible job of helping you understand how to get the application started. In the book it states that you can get help by going to the forum, however there is no such forum.

After about an hour of trying to get the site working I finally figured it out, only to find out that it's not even set up like it is in the book.

This book is a complete waste of time and money.

Not enough explanations!.......2004-10-15

I must say that I am not very far into this book, say ch3. But I did fine part of the setup annoying. I don't expect to purchase a techie book and expect to figure out why it won't work the way they say. I have written this post to mostly help people out as there isn't a forum for this book (as stated in the book!).

I didn't have any trouble copying the files from the cd except for webctrl_client as it doesn't exist on the cd, and for the application to work, this folder it is needed. I had to source IEWebControls controls from www.ASP.NET. This got the app working ok. The other annoying thing is the sql script to make the user 'community' doesn't do the job completely as it leaves out that user's permissions, I have to change the connection string to point to user SA for the time being.

Other than this I have found the book interesting, and I am hoping as I get further into the book I won't encounter any further problems. Maybe I brought the wrong book as a ASP.NET newbie, but I do llike the idea of working through an application from start to finish and the author (from his bio) knows what he is on about.

Some Errors but worth the trouble.......2004-08-10

I encountered some of the problems mentioned below but found that working through these problems actually increased my knowledge of the application. Having said that, this book was not meant for beginners, in fact I consider myself somewhere between a beginner and intermediate developer and I find much of the material over my head. But that is why I bought this particular book. I wanted something that would take me beyond the simple controls and pages that my current library provides.

True, I would be a lot happier with the book if there were fewer errors but the challenge of getting things up and running was somewhat worth it and once it is setup the code all seems to work fine.

I should also note that this is a VB.Net book, which you wouldn't know if you read the back cover which states you should have a general understanding of C# to use this book. That is an example of the apparent sloppiness that went into putting this book together that you'll find as well as those already mentioned but I wouldn't necessarily write the book off because of that ..... yet. (I am about a 1/4 of the way through it)

Hopefully they will get a errata page up real soon and fix some of the sloppiness in the next revision.
