Review The Soft Budget Constraint - The Emergence, Persistence and Logic of an Institution / Springer:The soft budget constraint - today a popular metaphor - is a paradox. In socialist economies, it implies that the state tends to bail out state-owned firms in financial trouble, in spite of the tremendous performance problems of the entire system that result. When the socialist system broke down, the soft budget constraint was expected to disappear. However, it seems to persist, and its persistence appears to hamper the transition process itself. The Soft Budget Constraint The Emergence, Persistence and Logic of an Institution seeks an answer to this paradox. It aims at increasing our understanding of why the soft budget constraint exists. By investigating state-owned enterprises in Tanzania before, during and after socialism, the prevalence of the soft budget constraint is examined and an explanation of its existence is suggested. The approach is institutional. The soft budget constraint is defined as an informal institution and an invisible-hand explanation of its emergence, persistence and logic is applied. The book shows that the soft budget constraint emerged as an unintended consequence of the establishment of the Tanzania socialist system in the 1970s. [+]A behavioral solution to recurrent systemic problems was offered, and thus the soft budget constraint performed several functions. Once established, its very existence set off a cumulative process of self-generation. Four reinforcement mechanisms that accounted for its maintenance during Tanzanian socialism are identified. Its character as an informal rule helps to explain why it persisted during market-oriented reform, initiated in the mid-1980s. The soft budget constraint was part of the socialist heritage, was adapted to systemic change, and influenced the direction and character of this change.

Review Economic Capital and Financial Risk Management for Financial Services Firms and Conglomerates (Finance and Capital Markets) / Palgrave Macmillan:The authors present a comprehensive and timely discussion of economic capital and financial risk management for financial services firms and conglomerates. Topics covered include: *the different types of risks that firms collect; *risk governance issues;*how stress testing can be used to measure risk; *the provision of a clear and precise definition of economic capital; *the different types of capital that are eligible to back regulatory capital, and; *the development of models that can be used to estimate a firm's economic capital requirements. A unique feature of the book is that, for the first time, the economic capital requirements of financial services firms across the entire risk spectrum, from the short end to the long end, are considered in one book. The authors develop models to estimate the economic capital requirements of banks, asset management firms, life and non-life insurance firms, pension funds, and the financial services conglomerates that comprise these firms. Economic capital is compared to regulatory capital and regulatory capital arbitrage is discussed. The diversification benefit present in financial services conglomerates is quantified and the practical management of this diversification benefit is dealt with. The authors give new insights into capital management and performance measurement for financial services conglomerates and provide detailed descriptions of the main financial services firm regulatory capital changes that are ongoing at the time of writing. This superb and original book charts new ground in the practical application of economic capital for financial services firms and conglomerates. It is required reading for all capital allocation and risk professionals.

Review Bank Guarantees In International Trade (Bank Guarantees in International Trade) / Kluwer Law International:Bank Guarantees in International Trade is a comprehensive study of the legal and practical aspects and implications of independent (first demand) guarantees and standby letters of credit. It serves to broaden the understanding of the law on the subject of bank guarantees, while placing marked emphasis upon the practical issues which can arise in the daily functioning of these legal instruments. Bertrams uses case law and legal writing from five European countries-The Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, and England-to build an analysis of how the practical applications of bank guarantees has established a pattern of law. He also takes into account U. S. writing and case law on the subject, as well as relevant cases from Switzerland, Italy, and Austria. Written from a transnational perspective, Bank Guarantees in International Trade can be used in both Civil Law and Common Law jurisdictions. The author's analysis covers the following factors: types of guarantee (tender, performance, maintenance, repayment, retention, judicial); payment mechanisms (first demand, third-party documents, arbitral or court decision); risks and negotiations, drafting and clauses; bank guarantees as a financial service; direct and indirect guarantees; relationship between account party and bank; relationship between instructing bank and issuing bank, counter-guarantee; the call on the guarantee, demand for payment; fraud and restraining orders; and, jurisdiction and applicable law. Bank Guarantees in International Trade offers practitioners in international trade and banking law the most complete analysis in the field. In its wealth of practical detail, it is unlikely to be surpassed.

Review Financialization At Work: Key Texts and Analysis / Routledge:Like the term globalization ten years ago, financialization now increasingly supplies the concept for a process that concerns us all. Used more prominently in the past ten years by academics and journalists interested in the major players, motives and results of the intrusion of the capital market, it is also used in discussions about different processes at different sites in the economy and the financial outcomes and social effects. Using extracts from key literature from a range of disciplines, expertly contextualized by the editors, this is the first reader to provide a comprehensive and critical overview of this diverse field. Representing the different approaches to financialization as an economic and social process at micro and macro levels, this text gives readers from a range of subjects including finance, strategic management, economics and accounting an overview of this challenging and important subject.
