Is Our Economy Safe? A Proposal For Assessing The Success Of Swaps Regulation Under The Dodd-Frank Act, Michael Greenberger
Is Our Economy Safe? A Proposal For Assessing The Success Of Swaps Regulation Under The Dodd-Frank Act, Michael Greenberger
Michael Greenberger
On July 21, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law. The central goal of the Dodd-Frank Act is to ensure that all standardized derivates products are regulated. The Act requires these trades be fully transparent and backed by adequate capital. The central question for evaluating the success of the Dodd-Frank Act is simple but profound: Has the Dodd-Frank Act made the economy any safer from the threat of another economic meltdown? This paper introduces a number of metrics that can be used to assess the success of the Dodd-Frank Act.

New Legislation Permitting Stock Futures: The Long And Winding Road, William J. Brodsky
New Legislation Permitting Stock Futures: The Long And Winding Road, William J. Brodsky
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This article will explain how the stock futures issue arose, how Congress handled it last year, and the application of the legislation to this new product. While I believe that the approach taken in the CFMA will allow stock futures to trade on a level regulatory playing field in many areas with stock options, which are regulated solely as securities, it will not remove all the disparities between these two competing products. That will only occur when Congress acquires the political will to merge the SEC and the CFTC to create a modem regulatory system for the U.S. equity markets.
