Cambridge University Press Currency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets
Book SynopsisCurrency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets by Philipp Hartmann of the European Central Bank is a major theoretical and empirical study of international currencies, which focuses on the role which the Euro will play in the international monetary and financial system along with the US dollar and the Japanese yen. In contrast to much of the existing literature which approaches the subject from a macroeconomic perspective, Philipp Hartmann develops a theoretical model which uses game theory, time series and panel econometrics, and links financial markets analysis with transaction cost economics. The results of Currency Competition and Foreign Exchange Markets are presented with reference to political, historical and institutional considerations, and provide accessible answers to policy-makers, business people and scholars worldwide. The sections on Spread Estimation and Multiple Vehicles with Inter-Dealer Price and Entry Competition will be of particular use for finance professionaTrade Review'The emergence of the Euro is the most significant monetary event of the current era. Its international role will be of key importance. In this topical and valuable book, Philipp Hartmann provides an analysis of the role and evolution of the international use of money, for example as a vehicle currency, and then applies such analysis to examine the future role of the euro, notably in relation to the US dollar. This book is both of high academic quality and of practical relevance for the light that it throws on future international monetary issues in general, and on the euro in particular.' Charles Goodhart, London School of Economics and Political Science, and member of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee'An interesting and innovative study on a very important and topical issue in international finance, the theory of international currencies. It has the potential to become standard reading in international finance in the future. One of the attractions of this book is the combination of theory, empirical evidence, and historical account … Hartmann has a great way of explaining difficult concepts in an accessible manner without putting his readers to sleep … essential for professionals.' Jurgen von Hagen, University of Bonn and Zentrum fur Europaische Intergrationsforschung'[Hartmann's] book stands out for its broad scope and unusual blend of theory, historical and institutional account of financial markets, and empirical evidence. … Overall, Hartmann has written an interesting and innovative study with relevance to both academics and practitioners. … Hartmann's conclusions about the relatively slow pace with which the euro will advance in international financial markets appear to be based on a sound analysis of the trends and characteristics of the different market segments. His observation that the disappearance of intra-European forex transactions by definition will exert a downward influence on the euro's market share initially, is worth stressing. In this respect, Hartmann provides a welcome and needed counterweight to existing overly optimistic forecasts of an increased role of the euro internationally together with an immediate euro appreciation.'

Cambridge University Press Inflation and Investment Controls in China
Book SynopsisHow has the Chinese central government been able to avoid the crippling hyperinflation that has bedeviled so many developing and centrally planned economies? Focusing on central-local relations, Yasheng Huang explains why local Chinese officials comply, even against their own economic interests, with the inflation-control policies of the central government.Trade ReviewThis new book by Yasheng Huang is, in my view, one of the most significant studies to have appeared in many years and among other services it underlines, once again, that much of the most illuminating work on the East Asian economies is being done not by economists, but by political scientists, sociologists, historians, and others.' Christopher Howe, The Journal of Development Studies'Using rigorous quantitative analysis, Professor Huang demonstrates that China's central authorities have not lost their capacity to select and control local government and party officials. This study not only refutes much of the conventional wisdom about Chinese politics during the reform period, it sets a high standard of scholarship in doing so. The book is a model for how this kind of analysis should be carried out.' Dwight Perkins, Harvard Institute for International Development'Yasheng Huang's book enormously advances three crucial literatures in comparative political economy: on inflationary investment in decentralizing planned economies; on precedence and pacing of economic and political reform, in Communist and in non-Communist authoritarian systems; and on 'federalism' (in Weingast's broad sense) and economic growth in general. With this impressive work, Huang solidly establishes his credentials as the best of the younger scholars of late Communist and post-Communist regimes.' Ronals Rogowski, University of California, Los Angeles'Must reading. The book uses quantitative and qualitative data to demonstrate convincingly the continued strength of Beijing. It establishes Huang as an outstanding, rigorous, and independent analyst of China's political economy.' Michel Oksenberg, Senior Fellow, Stanford University'This is one of the most important - and richest - books to be written on post-Mao China. Professor Huang has taken on a difficult subject, the issue of central-local rrelations, and has produced a sophisticated argument that combines solid documentary research and analysis of the structure of China's political economy with skillful statistical analysis.' Steven M. Goldstein, Smith College'The origins of inflation, Huang emphasizes, arise from the incentives for over-investment that arise at the local level and the difficulties faced by the center in monitoring and sanctioning profligate local behaviour. It is a book that will command a readership among both Chinese specialists and those interested in political economy.' Robert H.

Cambridge University Press The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision A History of the Early Years 19741997
Book SynopsisThe Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) sets the guidelines for world-wide regulation of banks. It is the forum for agreeing international regulation on the conduct of banking. Based on special access to the archives of the BCBS and interviews with many of its key players, this book tells the story of the early years of the Committee from its foundation in 1974/5 right through until 1997 - the year that marks the watershed between the Basel I Accord on Capital Adequacy and the start of work on Basel II. In addition, the book covers the Concordat, the Market Risk Amendment, the Core Principles of Banking and all other facets of the work of the BCBS. While the book is primarily a record of the history of the BCBS, it also provides an assessment of its actions and efficacy. It is a major contribution to the historical record on banking supervision.Trade Review'Mr Goodhart has produced an in-depth and comprehensive narrative on the history of the world's banking regulator. A compelling account in its own right, his description of the evolution of the Basel standards is as relevant as ever as policymakers contemplate sound responses to the recent crisis.' Jaime Caruana, General Manager, Bank for International Settlements'Since the progressive lifting of exchange controls in 1970s and 1980s, few international financial institutions have mattered more than the Basel Supervisors Committee. There could be no one better to chart its history than Charles Goodhart - economist of money and banking, policymaker, and friend and colleague of many of the key protagonists. The highs and lows are all brought out, including how ideas sometimes get given too much or not nearly enough weight. This is a 'must-read' for anyone who wants to grasp how international finance policy gets made in the real world.' Paul Tucker, Deputy Governor, Financial Stability, Bank of England'Charles Goodhart is unique in combining sound economic analysis with understanding of the practical, political and organizational pressures bearing on financial policy making. His history of the early years of the Basle Committee, culminating in international agreement on bank capital standards, is a case in point. It casts light on the obstacles faced by the negotiators of new international standards, for capital, derivatives and other elements of international financial reform.' Paul A. Volcker, Chairman of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, 2009–2011'It will aid historians as much as contemporary readers in search of insight into how international standard-setting works in a world of national jurisdictions and pride.' Financial World'Goodhart has provided neither a narrative nor analytical history, but rather an invaluable, roughly chronological encyclopedia of key ideas, recollections, and documents for an audience of economists, political scientists, historians, regulators, finance ministers, and of course, the central bankers and regulators who comprise this powerful Committee.'

The University of Chicago Press Financing Corporate Capital Formation NBERProject
Book SynopsisSix leading economists examine the financing of corporate capital formation in the U.S. economy. In clear and nontechnical terms, their papers provide valuable information for economists and nonspecialists interested in such questions as why interest rates are so high, why corporate debt has accelerated in recent years, and how government debt affects private financial markets. Addressing these questions, the contributors focus chiefly on three themes: the actual use of debt and equity financing by corporations in recent years; the factors that drive the financial markets' pricing of debt and equity securities; and the relationship between corporations' real investment decisions and their financial decisions. While some of the papers are primarily expository, others break new ground. Extending his previous work, Robert Taggart finds a closer relationship between corporate and government debt than has been supposed. Zvi Bodie, Alex Kane, and Robert McDonald conclude intheir study that t

MIT Press Ltd Reform of the International Monetary System Why
Book SynopsisAn argument that a rules-based reform of the international monetary system, achieved by applying basic economic theory, would improve economic performance.In this book, the economist John Taylor argues that the apparent correlation of monetary policy decisions among different countries—largely the result of countries' concerns about the exchange rate—causes monetary policy to deviate from effective policies that stabilize inflation and the economy. He argues that a rules-based reform of the international monetary system, achieved by applying basic economic theory, would improve economic performance.Taylor shows that monetary polices in recent years have been deployed either defensively, as central banks counteract forces from abroad that affect the exchange rate, or offensively, as central banks attempt to move the exchange rate to gain a competitive advantage. Focusing on the years from 2005 to 2017, he develops an empirical framework to examine two moneta
