    Book SynopsisThis book explores the intersection between artificial intelligence and two intellectual property rights: copyright and patents. The increasing use of artificial intelligence for generating creative and innovative output has an impact on copyright and patent laws around the world. The book aims to map and analyse that impact. The author considers how artificial intelligence systems may aid, or in some cases substitute for, human creators and inventors in the creative process. It is from this angle that the copyright and patent regimes in four jurisdictions (Europe, the United States, Australia and Japan) are investigated in depth. The author describes how these jurisdictions look at works and inventions generated through a process where artificial intelligence is present or prevalent, and examines how copyright and patent regimes should adapt to the reality of artificially intelligent creators and inventors.As the use of artificial intelligence to generate creative and innovative products becomes more common, this book will be a valuable resource to researchers, academics and policy makers alike.Table of Contents1: Introduction. 2: AI and copyright protection 3.

    Book SynopsisTrade Review"IFRS 9 and CECL Credit Risk Modelling and Validation: A Practical Guide with Examples Worked in R and SAS by Tiziano Bellini is a precious resource for industry practitioners, researchers and students in the field of credit risk modeling and validation. The author does a great job in covering the various topics in a scientifically sound and comprehensive way without losing practitioner focus. The SAS and R case studies further contribute to its value and make it indispensable for anyone working in credit risk!" --Bart Baesens, KU Leuven and the University of Southampton "It is commendable that practitioners like Dr Tiziano Bellini find the time to write volumes on the important industry developments in risk management. This timely volume provides a guide to credit risk modelling and validation in the context of IFRS 9 and CECL expected credit loss estimates. The book is thus developed in the context of the familiar PD, LGD and EAD framework. Recent challenging developments are discussed, for example the treatment of lifetime losses is very timely. The last part of the book, where multivariate time series models are brought into play, can also give ideas to researchers who may wish to make their work more relevant for the industry. More generally, this volume provides an unparalleled guide for graduate and MSc students. Examples in R and SAS make the book a must-have for risk management practitioners." --Damiano Brigo, Imperial College LondonTable of Contents1.

The book guides the reader, step by step, clause by clause, through the loan agreement, from start to finish.

The mysterious new terms of market microstructure—"high-frequency trader," "dark pool," "maker-taker" rebates, and "internalization"—are all fluently explained, and this serves as a prelude to the authors' careful weighing of the policy choices. Few books in this area have been this lucid and this rigorous at the same time. -- John C. Coffee, Columbia UniversityEquity capital markets are going through unprecedented change: new technology, new players, new venues, and new trading strategies. How can regulators respond to these developments without impeding market efficiency? These are the issues that Fox, Glosten, and Rauterberg analyze in their outstanding book, providing vital—and novel—insights and recommendations that should be welcomed by both regulators and investors. Highly recommended. -- Edward F. Greene, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & HamiltonTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPart 1: Foundations1. The Institutions and Regulation of Trading Markets2.

    Book SynopsisChildren''s Rights and Business: Governing Obligations and Responsibility is a comprehensive legal inquiry into children''s rights and business. Relying on insights from various disciplines, the book illustrates the need for a children-focused inquiry on business and human rights. An analysis of the norm legalization process around the regulation of business and human rights, particularly of children''s rights follows the inquiry into existing hard and soft law regulatory frameworks on children''s rights and business. The book goes on to evaluate the promise of these frameworks in light of globalized business transactions through the lens of in-depth case illustrations on children''s rights in cotton and mineral supply chains and children''s rights in large-scale energy and transport investment projects. Finally, it concludes with a normative outlook on governing the children''s rights obligations of businesses and responsibility when violations occur, drawing on global governance apprTrade Review'Throughout the veritable industry that is now 'business and human rights' the plight of children is too often overlooked or understudied. In this impressively ambitious book Gamze Erdem Türkelli first illustrates precisely how the corporate exploitation of children is different and disproportionate, and then mounts a convincing argument for what domestic and international legal systems can do to educate, cajole, coerce, and punish irresponsible corporations.' David Kinley, Chair in Human Rights Law, University of Sydney'Business greatly impacts on children's Iives. Nevertheless, while business and human rights matters have been discussed for four decades, children's rights only entered this scene rather recently. In her lucid book, Gamze Erdem Turkelli appealingly unlocks the developments involved, both in theory and in practice. Cases from Uzbekistan, the DRC and Uganda finely illustrate child rights aspects that have come up in the cotton sector, mineral extraction, and infrastructure projects.'

  • Making Money Coin Currency and the Coming of Capitalism

    Oxford University Press Making Money Coin Currency and the Coming of Capitalism

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisMoney travels the modern world in disguise. It looks like a convention of human exchange - a commodity like gold or a medium like language. But its history reveals that money is a very different matter. It is an institution engineered by political communities to mark and mobilize resources. As societies change the way they create money, they change the market itself - along with the rules that structure it, the politics and ideas that shape it, and the benefits that flow from it.One particularly dramatic transformation in money''s design brought capitalism to England. For centuries, the English government monopolized money''s creation. The Crown sold people coin for a fee in exchange for silver and gold. ''Commodity money'' was a fragile and difficult medium; the first half of the book considers the kinds of exchange and credit it invited, as well as the politics it engendered. Capitalism arrived when the English reinvented money at the end of the 17th century. When it established the Bank of England, the government shared its monopoly over money creation for the first time with private investors, institutionalizing their self-interest as the pump that would produce the money supply. The second half of the book considers the monetary revolution that brought unprecedented possibilities and problems. The invention of circulating public debt, the breakdown of commodity money, the rise of commercial bank currency, and the coalescence of ideological commitments that came to be identified with the Gold Standard - all contributed to the abundant and unstable medium that is modern money. All flowed as well from a collision between the individual incentives and public claims at the heart of the system. The drama had constitutional dimension: money, as its history reveals, is a mode of governance in a material world. That character undermines claims in economics about money''s neutrality. The monetary design innovated in England would later spread, producing the global architecture of modern money.Trade ReviewThis fascinating book offers an innovative approach to monetary history, by using the historical development of currency in England from the high middle ages to the nineteenth century to challenge the established theory of money and its role in the economyâ This book is an excellent contribution to the existing literature [âand] must also be considered an important contribution to fields such as law, economics, political science, and the history of economic ideas. * Paolo di Martino, The Economic History Review *A closing sentence of Desan's Making Money encapsulates what I find truly extraordinary about her book: Arguably capitalism... constructed a money [based on] individual exchange for profit, institutionalizing that motive as the heart of productivity." ... In my view Desan's greatest contribution in Making Money is a clear explanation of how monetary reform set the stage for modern economic performance. * Carolyn Sissoko, Synthetic Assets *This book is an obvious must for anyone interested in English history generally, and the history of money, banking or finance, or the legal history of these fields in particular. That much goes without saying. For historians of capitalism, it should be a lightning rod, attracting attention with a bold, unorthodox and analytically and historically compelling claim. * Roy Kreitner, Banking and Finance Law Review *Making Money is an impressive work of scholarship that not only surveys many centuries of history, but also offers fresh insights into a topic so laden with assumptions and parables as to seem barely worth reexamination. The book is part legal analysis, part political and economic history, and part numismatics, and it is more representative of an interpretive essay than an encyclopedia of monetary history. * Bruce G. Carruthers, American Historical Review *Christine Desans Making Money: Coin, Currency, and the Coming of Capitalism. . . expands the limited theoretical interventions of myriad governance-view theorists into positive, empirical claims by telling the story of British money through law from the fall of Rome to the eighteenth-century financial revolution, and in so doing expands on them significantly. . . What Desan has given us, and earlier authors have not, is a thorough alternative, grounded in legal history, that, helpfully, includes an origin story for the orthodox account of moneys origins. Although some may continue to defend the orthodox conjectural history of money. . . they will be hard-pressed to do so on empirical grounds in light of Desans account. * Andrew David Edwards, Law and Social Inquiry *Desan's singular achievement has been to not only synthesize a vast literature but to also produce a richly detailed, compelling, and original account of how the development of market commerce and capitalism was largely dependent upon the transformation of the ways in which people thought about and made their money. . . Needless to say this brief review in no way does justice to the narrative reconstruction, eye-watering detail, and historiographical engagement which will surely make Desan's text the definitive account for some time to come. * Simon Middleton, The Medieval Review *Making Money is a fascinating story, full of both meticulous historical detail and compelling conceptual arguments about the relationship between forms of currency, political authority, and the creation of the modern state . . . thought-provoking like David Graebers Debt, but firmly grounded in the minutiae of English history. In these times when everyone from gold bugs (like Ted Cruz, lets not forget) to Bitcoin enthusiasts is calling for a redefinition of money, it reminds us what a complicated and politically determined thing money always has been. * James Kwak, The Baseline Scenario *Christine Desans Making Money should be amongst the points of departure for analysis and reflection not beholden to the existing institutional structures and the interests served by such institutions...This insight elevates Desans book far above the kind of literature that cultivates a generalizing view of money, its current forms, and institutional settings as inevitable expressions of human nature. The conclusions from her contribution to the analysis of money are arguments for changing prevailing monetary regimes. Desan equips us with historical arguments for reinventing money. * Leopold Specht, International Journal of Constitutional Law *Making Money contributes to . . . understanding [the popularity of cash] by providing a detailed and insightful narrative of how cash developed into the killer app of payment technologies. * William Roberds, Journal of Economic Literature *[T]hose interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the evolution of money... Will find this book invaluable. [Desans] approach... Is essentially a new history and analysis of how money is made. * Katie Ball, Reviews in History *Making Money will undoubtedly become an exemplary text in its field. It has a lot to offer... In sum, this book is of tremendous value and a notable text in legal history and within those subjects at the peripheries surrounding it. It sets a new path in challenging our ways of studying commercial law and viewing money and currency as a purely economic tool and as a mechanism of exchange. * Victoria Barnes, The Journal of Legal History *[In this book] A constitutional historian dives deep into to joint creation with private investorsto illuminate how the means of exchange is in fact a form of governance and of social order * Harvard Magazine *Christine Desanâs Making Money is not only a fine monetary history of England. The 2014 book is relevant today. It shows cash and governments go together, the gold standard was a misnomer and central banking is political. And we should stop outsourcing money-creation to banks. * Edward Hadas, Breakingviews *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; 1. Creation Stories ; 2. From Metal to Money: Producing the "Just Penny" ; 3.
