Negotiability, Property, And Identity, James S. Rogers
Negotiability, Property, And Identity, James S. Rogers
James S. Rogers
In this Article, Professor Rogers challenges the assumption that securities transfer law has always been based on negotiable certificates and suggests that the reign of negotiability is a relatively recent, and brief, phase in the long history of investment securities trading. Professor Rogers posits that the difficulties currently facing the law of securities transfers are in large part due to the transition from paper to electronic representations of investments. To place these challenges into perspective, Professor Rogers first surveys the history of securities trading and then examines the theoretical underpinnings of the law of securities transfers.

Humanizing The Financial Architecture Of Globalization: A Tribute To The Work Of Cynthia Lichtenstein , Frank J. Garcia
Humanizing The Financial Architecture Of Globalization: A Tribute To The Work Of Cynthia Lichtenstein , Frank J. Garcia
Frank J. Garcia
This Tribute reviews the many contributions by Cynthia Lichtenstein to the literature on international financial markets. When viewed as a whole, Professor Lichtenstein's work suggests that the globalization of the monetary system offers new opportunities for increased human welfare, but only if state and international regulators combine technical expertise with a genuine understanding of the human effects of global markets, much as Professor Lichtenstein does in her own work.
Justice, The Bretton Woods Institutions And The Problem Of Inequality, Frank J. Garcia
Justice, The Bretton Woods Institutions And The Problem Of Inequality, Frank J. Garcia
Frank J. Garcia
The Bretton Woods Institutions are, together with the WTO, the preeminent international institutions devoted to managing international economic relations. This mandate puts them squarely in the center of the debate concerning development, inequality and global justice. While the normative analysis of the WTO is gaining momentum, the systematic normative evaluation of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund is comparatively less developed. This essay aims to contribute to that nascent inquiry. How might global justice criteria apply to the ideology and operations of the Bank and Fund? Political theory offers an abundance of perspectives from which to conduct such …

Who Is Making International Tax Policy? International Organizations As Power Players In A High Stakes World, Diane M. Ring
Who Is Making International Tax Policy? International Organizations As Power Players In A High Stakes World, Diane M. Ring
Diane M. Ring
Who makes international tax policy in today’s world? Certainly no single body possesses that power - there is no global tax authority, and states are not capable of achieving all of their international tax policy goals on a unilateral basis. The development of international tax policy is an interactive and dynamic process that involves a wide range of players, most of whom can be characterized as international organizations. Their roles, goals, tools and influence vary by organization and by issue, but their net impact on tax policy is undeniable. If we are to better understand how tax policy is formed, …

The Shadow Banking System And Its Legal Origins, Erik F. Gerding
The Shadow Banking System And Its Legal Origins, Erik F. Gerding
Erik F. Gerding
The global financial crisis cannot be understood without closely analyzing the development and the failure of the shadow banking system. Shadow banking, in turn, cannot be understood without examining how law shaped it. This article provides a definition of the shadow banking system and describes the critical role law and legal change played in shaping it.
The shadow banking system describes a web of financial instruments (asset-backed securities, credit derivatives, money market mutual funds, repurchase agreements) that connected commercial and household borrowers to investors in capital markets. This system differs, however, from traditional bond markets and is marked by six …
Spatial Competition, Network Externalities, And Market Structure: An Application To Commercial Banking, Prasad Krishnamurthy
Spatial Competition, Network Externalities, And Market Structure: An Application To Commercial Banking, Prasad Krishnamurthy
Prasad Krishnamurthy
I develop a model of spatial competition between multi-branch firms in which consumers value the price of services, spatial proximity to their home branch, and the number of other branches in the firm's network. The model delivers within and across market predictions on the pattern and density of branching, the relationship of concentration to market size, the price-concentration relationship, and price dispersion. I consider the applicability of this model to the commercial banking market for retail deposits. I test the model's predictions by utilizing variation in the timing and extent of within-state branching restrictions on banks and bank holding companies …

Michael Greenberger
The Relationship of Unregulated OTC Derivatives to the Meltdown. It is now accepted wisdom that it was the non-transparent, poorly capitalized, and almost wholly unregulated over-the-counter (―OTC‖) derivatives market that lit the fuse that exploded the highly vulnerable worldwide economy in the fall of 2008. Because tens of trillions of dollars of these financial products were pegged to the economic performance of an overheated and highly inflated housing market, the sudden collapse of that market triggered under-capitalized or non-capitalized OTC derivative guarantees of the subprime housing investments. Moreover, the many undercapitalized insurers of that collapsing market had other multi-trillion dollar …

Activist Distressed Debtholders: The New Barbarians At The Gate?, Michelle M. Harner
Michelle M. Harner
The term “corporate raiders” previously struck fear in the hearts of corporate boards and management teams. It generally refers to investors who target undervalued, cash-flush or mismanaged companies and initiate a hostile takeover of the company. Corporate raiders earned their name in part because of their focus on value extraction, which could entail dismantling a company and selling off its crown jewels. Today, the term often conjures up images of Michael Milken, Henry Kravis or the movie character Gordon Gekko, but the alleged threat posed to companies by corporate raiders is less prevalent—at least with respect to the traditional use …
Overwhelming A Financial Regulatory Black Hole With Legislative Sunlight: Dodd-Frank’S Attack On Systemic Economic Destabilization Caused By An Unregulated Multi-Trillion Dollar Derivatives Market, Michael Greenberger
Michael Greenberger
It is now accepted wisdom that it was the non-transparent, poorly capitalized and almost wholly unregulated over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives market that lit the fuse that exploded the highly vulnerable worldwide economy in the fall of 2008.[1] Because tens of trillions of dollars of these financial products were pegged to the economic performance of an overheated and highly inflated housing market, the sudden collapse of that market triggered under-capitalized OTC derivative guarantees of the subprime housing market; and the guarantors’ multi-trillion dollar interconnectedness with thousands of other OTC derivatives’ counterparties within that OTC market (through interest rate, currency, foreign exchange, and …

The Wto And The Anti-Corruption Movement, Padideh Ala'i
Padideh Ala'i
This article explores the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in promoting good governance while placing WTO within the larger framework of the ongoing global anti-corruption movement. Governmental policies aimed at fighting corruption are part of the good governance criteria set forth by the World Bank and other donor agencies. An important element of good governance is transparency, which has also been one of the pillars of the multilateral trading system. This article argues that from the perspective of the post-Cold War anti-corruption movement, the WTO is an important institution because it provides a comparatively successful forum for the …

Dodd-Frank, Regulatory Innovation, And The Safety Of Consumer Financial Products, Melissa Jacoby
Dodd-Frank, Regulatory Innovation, And The Safety Of Consumer Financial Products, Melissa Jacoby
Melissa B. Jacoby
Among the many parts of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, few have received as much mainstream attention as the creation of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. As is often the case with legislation in recent years, though, some of the most vocalized critiques of the Bureau lack a foundation in Dodd-Frank as enacted or in the Bureau’s start-up efforts. This brief essay explores the nature of the Bureau and its promising possibilities for regulatory innovation that should transcend stale debates about regulatory overreach or command-and-control approaches. This commentary also reviews the unusual dialogue preceding Dodd-Frank …
Combining Forces: The Joint Defense Agreement In Civil Litigation, Stephen Messer
Combining Forces: The Joint Defense Agreement In Civil Litigation, Stephen Messer
Stephen Messer
From day one of law school aspiring lawyers are taught that information shared in confidence between a lawyer and his client is confidential. Although all lawyers are well aware of this, surprisingly few know that conversations with a client and someone else's lawyer can also be privileged. This is what happens when a joint defense agreement is created; Joint defense agreements extend the attorney client privilege throughout the entire defense camp in cases where multiple defendants and their counsel have common interests in the litigation. This often overlooked, yet highly effective legal strategy may serve as a valuable tool for …
