Oxford University Press Microeconometrics of Banking
Book SynopsisThis book provides a compendium to the empirical work investigating the hypotheses generated by recent banking theory. Such a compendium is overdue. Since the publication of the The Microeconomics of Banking by Xavier Freixas and Jean Charles Rochet, work in empirical banking has further blossomed, not only in sheer volume but also in the variety of questions being tackled, datasets becoming available, and methodologies being introduced. This book follows the structure in Freixas and Rochet''s book and arranges the relevant methodologies, applications, and results according to each of their original chapters in order to have a coherent synthesis between available theory and supporting empirics. Each chapter in Microeconometrics of Banking contains a modest introduction (where possible and appropriate), a concise methodology section with one or more relevant methodologies, and several illustrative applications. In a muscular results section the authors summarize the main robust and semiTrade ReviewThis is the perfect companion to the popular Freixas and Rochet theory book on the microeconomics of banking. Degryse, Kim, and Ongena do a superb job in linking recent advances in the empirical literature to existing theory of banking, offering students of financial intermediation a unique overview of the range of available econometric methods to analyze the behavior of financial institutions and their customers. The material is enriched by well-chosen applications and examples. The book fills a major gap in the literature and is a must read for anyone interested in the subject. * Luc Laeven, Senior Economist, International Monetary Fund *Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION ; WHY DO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES EXIST? ; THE INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION APPROACH TO BANKING ; THE LENDER-BORROWER RELATIONSHIP ; EQUILIBRIUM AND RATIONING IN THE CREDIT MARKET ; THE MACROECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF FINANCIAL IMPERFECTIONS ; INDIVIDUAL BANK RUNS AND SYSTEMIC RISK ; MANAGING RISKS IN THE BANKING FIRM ; THE REGULATION OF BANKS ; CONCLUSION ; EPILOGUE: THE BANKING CRISIS OF 2007-2008

Oxford University Press, USA Private Banking in Europe
Book SynopsisPrivate bankers have been defined as owner-managers of their bank, irrespective of their type of activity, which could be in any field of banking, sometimes in conjunction with another one, especially commerce in the earlier periods. Analysing the experiences of European private bankers from the early modern period to the early twenty-first century, this book starts by examining the slow emergence of specialist private bankers, largely from amongst those who provided commercial credit. This initial consideration culminates in a focus upon the roles that they played, both during the onset of the continent''s industrialization, and in orchestrating the finances of the emerging world economy. Its second theme is private banking''s waning importance with the rise of joint-stock competitors, which became increasingly apparent in Britain during the mid-nineteenth century, and elsewhere within Europe some decades later. Lastly, attention is paid to the decline of private bankers in the twentiTable of ContentsIntroduction ; 1. .

Oxford University Press Financial and Macroeconomic Connectedness
Book SynopsisConnections among different assets, asset classes, portfolios, and the stocks of individual institutions are critical in examining financial markets. Interest in financial markets implies interest in underlying macroeconomic fundamentals. In Financial and Macroeconomic Connectedness, Frank Diebold and Kamil Yilmaz propose a simple framework for defining, measuring, and monitoring connectedness, which is central to finance and macroeconomics. These measures of connectedness are theoretically rigorous yet empirically relevant. The approach to connectedness proposed by the authors is intimately related to the familiar econometric notion of variance decomposition. The full set of variance decompositions from vector auto-regressions produces the core of the ''connectedness table.'' The connectedness table makes clear how one can begin with the most disaggregated pair-wise directional connectedness measures and aggregate them in various ways to obtain total connectedness measures. The authorTrade ReviewDiebold and Yilmaz's timely book develops powerful new network tools for understanding the inter-dependence of risks in large-scale financial systems. These tools shed important new light on past financial crises and will fill an important gap in the monitoring of systemic risk going forward. * Peter Christoffersen, Professor of Finance, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto. *The aftermath of the Lehman bankruptcy revealed that economists lacked understanding of the linkages within the financial industry and across the different sectors of the economy. The book by Frank Diebold and Kamil Yilmaz has many fresh ideas and new tools to study this very important topic. It is a must-read for anybody interested in this burgeoning area of research. * Eric Ghysels, Bernstein Distinguished Professor of Economics and Professor of Finance, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill *We live in a highly integrated world economy with much stronger cross-border connections today than any other time in history. We need to have a better grasp of these connections as they are now at the heart of everyday macroeconomics and finance. Diebold and Yilmaz provide a masterful framework that greatly enhances our understanding of these connections. They also open new research avenues by showing practical applications of their framework in different contexts. And all of these make their book a classical reference on the topic. * Ayhan Kose, Director, Development Prospects Group, The World Bank *Table of ContentsChapter 1: Measuring and Monitoring Connectedness ; Chapter 2: U.S. Asset Classes ; Chapter 3: Major U.S. Financial Institutions ; Chapter 4: Global Stock Markets ; Chapter 5: Sovereign Bond Markets ; Chapter 6: Foreign Exchange Markets ; Chapter 7: Assets Across Countries ; Chapter 8: Global Business Cycles

Oxford University Press Prometheus Shackled
Book SynopsisAfter 1688, Britain underwent a revolution in public finance, and the cost of borrowing declined sharply. Leading scholars have argued that easier credit for the government, made possible by better property-rights protection, lead to a rapid expansion of private credit. The Industrial Revolution, according to this view, is the result of the preceding revolution in public finance.In Prometheus Shackled, prominent economic historians Peter Temin and Hans-Joachim Voth examine this hypothesis using new, detailed archival data from 18th century banks. They conclude the opposite: the financial revolution led to an explosion of public debt, but it stifled private credit. This led to markedly slower growth in the English economy. Temin and Voth collected detailed data from several goldsmith banks-Child''s, Gosling''s, Freame and Gould, Hoare''s, and Duncombe and Kent. The excellent records from Hoare''s, founded by Sir Richard Hoare in 1672, offer particular insight.Numerous entrants into the Trade ReviewA major contribution to economic history, business history, social history, and economics, Prometheus Shackled resolves a great enigma about the Industrial Revolution by explaining why economic growth was so slow despite massive technical change. * Philip T.

Random House USA Inc Crash of the Titans
Book SynopsisThe intimate, fly-on-the wall tale of the decline and fall of an America icon With one notable exception, the firms that make up what we know as Wall Street have always been part of an inbred, insular culture that most people only vaguely understand. The exception was Merrill Lynch, a firm that revolutionized the stock market by bringing Wall Street to Main Street, setting up offices in far-flung cities and towns long ignored by the giants of finance. With its “thundering herd” of financial advisers, perhaps no other business, whether in financial services or elsewhere, so epitomized the American spirit. Merrill Lynch was not only “bullish on America,” it was a big reason why so many average Americans were able to grow wealthy by investing in the stock market. Merrill Lynch was an icon. Its sudden decline, collapse, and sale to Bank of America was a shock. How did it happen? Why did it happen? And what does this story of greed, h
