Environmentalism And Antitrust, Albert H. Choi, Daniel A. Crane
Environmentalism And Antitrust, Albert H. Choi, Daniel A. Crane
Law & Economics Working Papers
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of interest concerning environmental issues and the application of the antitrust laws. Numerous commentators, for instance, have argued that the antitrust enforcement should adjust to reflect the environmental harm (or benefit) that is generated from a competitive condition. In this paper, we take a step back and argue that analysis of the intersection between antitrust and environmentalism should begin with more mundane questions of economics. More specifically, we argue that environmental regulations can inform antitrust analysis by considering (at least) three issues: (1) the impact of environmental regulation on the firms' production …
An Ethnically Balanced Male Perspective Towards Police Officers Seeking Mental Health Counseling: A Hermeneutic Phenomenological Study, Arturo Parra
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
This phenomenological study will aim to understand an ethnically balanced male perspective toward police officers seeking mental health counseling. Police Officers are routinely exposed to stressful and traumatic events, leading to acute and chronic disorders, mental illnesses, suicide ideation, and suicide, as research has indicated. Mental health counseling can play an essential role in intervention into mental health illness, providing critical tools to police officers to handle stress and potential mental illness. However, reluctance among the police community to seek mental health counseling continues to be prevalent. Possible cause for this reluctance are suggested through research as a direct result …
Because He Lives: Exploring The Resurrection Of Jesus As The Root Belief In Theologically Conservative Christians' Resistance To Climate Policy, Roger E. Prather
Because He Lives: Exploring The Resurrection Of Jesus As The Root Belief In Theologically Conservative Christians' Resistance To Climate Policy, Roger E. Prather
Doctoral Dissertations and Projects
The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to the ongoing and constantly evolving investigation into Christian attitudes about environmental issues generally and skepticism about climate change and climate policy specifically. This purpose is achieved primarily in two ways. First, it seeks to distinguish and disambiguate between skepticism about climate change among theologically conservative American Christians and skepticism about climate change policy. The study contributes to the academic literature by synthesizing two bodies of literature: that dealing with American Christians’ beliefs and climate change and that dealing with the nature of climate skepticism. Using the insights of Niklas Luhmann’s Social …
Policy Note | Discount Window Stigma: What's Design Got To Do With It?, Susan Mclaughlin
Policy Note | Discount Window Stigma: What's Design Got To Do With It?, Susan Mclaughlin
Journal of Financial Crises
This article utilizes discount window transaction data, which the Federal Reserve began disclosing in 2010, to assess how the Fed’s 2003 redesign of the discount window has affected banks’ use of the window. The data show that while the discount window remains stigmatized and relatively little used outside periods of funding market stress, secondary credit has at times played a role in supporting bank recovery and resolution, as envisioned by the 2003 redesign. This development raises a policy question: has the two-tiered design of the discount window implemented in 2003, in which a lending facility for sound banks operates alongside …
Russia: Otkritie Bank Restructuring, 2017, Benjamin Hoffner
Russia: Otkritie Bank Restructuring, 2017, Benjamin Hoffner
Journal of Financial Crises
In July and August 2017, Otkritie Bank, Russia’s largest privately owned bank, experienced a deposit run related to concerns over Otkritie’s recent acquisitions. The run prompted Otkritie’s shareholders to approach the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) for assistance. On August 29, 2017, the CBR announced a rescue plan for Otkritie. In it, the CBR pledged to become Otkritie’s main investor using a newly created resolution mechanism wherein the CBR would take at least a 75% equity stake using funds from the Fund for Banking Sector Consolidation, a subdivision of the CBR. The CBR simultaneously appointed a provisional administration, composed of …

United States: Bank Of America Capital Injection, 2009, Benjamin Hoffner, Vincient Arnold
Journal of Financial Crises
On September 15, 2008, Bank of America (BofA) announced a merger with the investment bank Merrill Lynch. In December, BofA learned that Merrill Lynch had experienced large, unexpected losses amounting to $15.5 billion during the fourth quarter of 2008. In light of these losses, BofA’s CEO informed the US Treasury secretary and Federal Reserve chairman that BofA intended to invoke the material adverse change clause of the merger agreement, allowing for a renegotiation of, or escape from, the merger. Officials at the Fed and Treasury warned BofA that a failure of the merger would have adverse consequences for BofA and …

Switzerland: Ubs Capital Injection, 2008, Anmol Makhija
Journal of Financial Crises
UBS, the eighth-largest bank in the world and the largest bank in Switzerland in 2008, incurred write-downs totaling USD 50 billion during the Global Financial Crisis, mostly on exposures to securities linked to US subprime mortgages. On October 16, 2008, the Swiss Federal Council announced that the government would subscribe to CHF 6 billion (USD 5.3 billion) of mandatory convertible notes (MCNs) issued by UBS to restore confidence in the bank and the financial system. UBS agreed to use the government’s capital to fund the equity for a special purpose vehicle, StabFund, that the central bank created to take over …
Spain: Caja De Ahorros Castilla–La Mancha Capital Injection, 2009, Lakshimi Swaminathan, Vincient Arnold
Spain: Caja De Ahorros Castilla–La Mancha Capital Injection, 2009, Lakshimi Swaminathan, Vincient Arnold
Journal of Financial Crises
Caja de Ahorros Castilla–La Mancha (CCM) was a small Spanish savings bank with just 1% market share in deposits and loans. Following years of rapid credit expansion in the real estate sector and reliance on wholesale funding markets to carry out its operations between 2000 and 2008, CCM found itself on the brink of insolvency in early 2009, with a Tier 1 capital ratio of just 1.3%, compared with the 8% regulators required. The authorities placed the bank under administration in 2009. Consequently, the Spanish Savings Bank Deposit Guarantee Fund (Fondo de Garantía de Depósitos de Ahorros, or FGD) agreed …

Portugal: Banco Espírito Santo Capital Injection, 2014, Salil Gupta, Shavonda Brandon
Journal of Financial Crises
Banco Espírito Santo (BES) was the second-largest private bank in Portugal in 2014, with assets of EUR 80 billion (USD 81 billion). A capital increase of EUR 1.1 billion to the BES was concluded on market terms in June 2014. The Bank of Portugal (BOP) adopted a resolution measure for BES on August 3, 2014, to safeguard financial stability by protecting all depositors and ensuring continuation of operating activities of the bank. The Portuguese Resolution Fund provided equity capital of EUR 4.9 billion to a bridge bank, Novo Banco, with 100% public ownership and the expectation of sale to private …

Russia: Otkritie Bank Capital Injection, 2017, Benjamin Hoffner
Journal of Financial Crises
In July and August 2017, Otkritie Bank, Russia’s largest privately owned bank, experienced a deposit run related to concerns over recent acquisitions, including a large, troubled bank and insurance company. The run prompted Otkritie’s shareholders to ask the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) for assistance, which the CBR announced on August 29, 2017. In the announcement and subsequent press interviews, the CBR pledged to become Otkritie’s main investor using a newly created resolution mechanism wherein the CBR would take at least a 75% equity stake using funds from the Fund for Banking Sector Consolidation (FBSC), a subsidiary of the CBR. …
Netherlands: Sns Reaal Capital Injection, 2013, Ayodeji George
Netherlands: Sns Reaal Capital Injection, 2013, Ayodeji George
Journal of Financial Crises
The property finance division of SNS Reaal N.V., a financial conglomerate comprising SNS Bank, the fourth-largest Dutch bank, and Reaal Insurance, the second-largest Dutch life insurer, was heavily exposed to losses in the real estate sector from 2008 to 2010. In January 2013, a growing bank run and the revelation of substantial losses forced the government to intervene. The Minister of Finance rejected proposals from the bank and a private equity firm, and nationalized SNS Reaal on February 1, 2013. Upon nationalizing the firm, the Dutch state injected EUR 2.2 billion into the firm in the form of ordinary shares, …
Korea: Korea First Bank And Seoul Bank Capital Injections, 1997, Jisoo Park, Owen Heaphy
Korea: Korea First Bank And Seoul Bank Capital Injections, 1997, Jisoo Park, Owen Heaphy
Journal of Financial Crises
Korea First Bank (KFB) and Seoul Bank (SB) were two of the five largest commercial banks in Korea with high levels of exposure to conglomerates, which had high short-term foreign debt in the late 1990s. Starting in the late summer of 1997, Korea, like other Asian economies, experienced capital outflows due to international creditors’ reducing their exposures to Korean financial institutions. Banks relied on the Bank of Korea for foreign exchange liquidity support. The two banks became insolvent owing to high levels of nonperforming loans and required government recapitalization after experiencing a run in early December 1997. As financial conditions …
Italy: Banca Monte Dei Paschi Di Siena Capital Injection, 2017, Benjamin Hoffner
Italy: Banca Monte Dei Paschi Di Siena Capital Injection, 2017, Benjamin Hoffner
Journal of Financial Crises
The 2017 recapitalization of Italy’s third-largest bank, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (MPS), the oldest bank in the world, represents an unusual precautionary, “open bank” recapitalization under the European Union’s Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) rules. In 2015, the bank held the largest portfolio of nonperforming loans (NPLs) in Italy (with 34.8% of its total loans), and in 2016 it was the only bank to fail the European Banking Authority’s adverse scenario stress test, although its reported total capital ratio at the end of the year was 10.4%. To address its NPL problem, MPS agreed with the European …
Japan: Nippon Credit Bank Capital Injection,1997, Owen Heaphy
Japan: Nippon Credit Bank Capital Injection,1997, Owen Heaphy
Journal of Financial Crises
In 1997, Japan experienced a financial crisis caused by the bursting of a bubble in commercial real estate prices. By March, Nippon Credit Bank (NCB), the smallest of Japan’s three long-term credit banks, required government assistance due to its heavy exposure to commercial real estate and large amount of nonperforming loans. On April 1, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced the government’s intention to recapitalize NCB as part of a restructuring package. To facilitate the injection, Japan’s Ministry of Finance (MoF) engineered a consortium of large existing shareholders in NCB (mainly insurance companies) and the other two Japanese long-term credit …
Iceland: Arion Bank, Islandsbanki, And Landsbankinn Capital Injections, 2008, Ayodeji George
Iceland: Arion Bank, Islandsbanki, And Landsbankinn Capital Injections, 2008, Ayodeji George
Journal of Financial Crises
Iceland’s three largest banks—Glitnir, Kaupthing, and Landsbanki—grew rapidly in the 2000s and failed amid depositor runs when they lost access to foreign funding markets at the onset of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). On October 6, 2008, the Icelandic Parliament passed the Emergency Act, and authorities quickly used their new powers to nationalize the three banks. The Ministry of Finance created and capitalized Arion Bank (for Kaupthing), Islandsbanki (for Glitnir), and Landsbankinn (for Landsbanki), to hold the old banks’ performing domestic assets and all insured domestic deposits, and the prime minister assured all domestic depositors that they would be protected. …
India: Yes Bank Capital Injection, 2020, Salil Gupta
India: Yes Bank Capital Injection, 2020, Salil Gupta
Journal of Financial Crises
In March 2020, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) helped engineer a capital injection and restructuring of Yes Bank, India’s fourth-largest private sector bank, to prevent a run on the bank and to preserve broader financial stability. On March 14, 2020, Yes Bank received a total capital injection of 100 billion Indian rupees (INR; USD 1.34 billion) in total from the State Bank of India and a group of private sector banks (HDFC, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Federal Bank, Bandhan Bank, IDFC First Bank). The government-owned SBI received a 48.2% equity stake, committing to contribute up to …
Greece: Piraeus Bank Capital Injection, 2015, Stella Schaefer-Brown
Greece: Piraeus Bank Capital Injection, 2015, Stella Schaefer-Brown
Journal of Financial Crises
Greek banks experienced heavy deposit outflows from December 2014 through June 2015, which led Greece to declare a bank holiday from June 28, 2015, until July 18, 2015. Greek banks’ reliance on liquidity assistance from the Eurosystem began in August 2011, with a second peak in 2015; emergency liquidity assistance was fully repaid in 2019. The European Central Bank’s Single Supervisory Mechanism, responsible for banking supervision in Europe, conducted a stress test and asset quality review of the four large Greek banks and identified a capital shortfall of EUR 4.7 billion for Piraeus Bank (the Bank) in October 2015. To …
Germany: Ikb Deutsche Industriebank Capital Injection, 2008, Lakshimi Swaminathan, Rishi Vala
Germany: Ikb Deutsche Industriebank Capital Injection, 2008, Lakshimi Swaminathan, Rishi Vala
Journal of Financial Crises
In July 2007, investors rapidly pulled their funding from asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) programs that held US subprime mortgage-linked securities. According to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC), German bank IKB Deutsche Industriebank AG (IKB) was the “first big casualty” of that run on ABCP. It had directly and indirectly guaranteed to provide EUR 9.3 billion in liquidity to its off-balance-sheet vehicle, Rhineland Funding Capital Corporation. German authorities and the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), a state-owned German development bank, quickly took over those obligations on July 30 to keep IKB solvent and prevent it from closing. KfW also agreed to …
Germany: Hsh Nordbank Capital Injection, 2009, Anmol Makhija
Germany: Hsh Nordbank Capital Injection, 2009, Anmol Makhija
Journal of Financial Crises
State-controlled HSH Nordbank AG (HSH) lost EUR 2.8 billion in 2008, mainly because of impairments to its holdings of US structured credit securities. On April 29, 2009, the German bank regulator informed HSH that it would close HSH if the owners did not recapitalize the bank to the 8% total capital ratio requirement. In June 2009, the state governments of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein injected EUR 3 billion (USD 3.8 billion) of capital in ordinary shares with voting rights and provided a EUR 10 billion asset guarantee, called a “risk shield,” for a 7.85% annual fee. Over the next few years, …
Cyprus: Laiki Bank Capital Injection, 2012, Stella Schaefer-Brown
Cyprus: Laiki Bank Capital Injection, 2012, Stella Schaefer-Brown
Journal of Financial Crises
In 2011, Cyprus’s second-largest bank, Marfin Popular Bank—later renamed Cyprus Popular Bank, but commonly known as Laiki Bank—lost billions of euros when the Greek government restructured its sovereign debt, decimating its equity capital and shutting its access to market liquidity. In late 2011, supervisors estimated the bank’s capital shortfall at EUR 3.1 billion. In January 2012, the bank submitted a plan to the central bank that included EUR 1.8 billion of capital raised from private investors and EUR 1 billion of capital increases through debt-to-equity swaps and deleveraging. However, Laiki Bank was unable to raise private capital and asked the …
France: Bank Of France Capital Injection, 1805, Ayodeji George
France: Bank Of France Capital Injection, 1805, Ayodeji George
Journal of Financial Crises
After receiving the exclusive right to issue bank notes in Paris in 1803, the Bank of France became a significant source of funding for the French government in early 1805, as Napoleon prepared for a key battle of the Napoleonic Wars. In the first half of 1805, the French treasury paid back loans with notes with later maturities rather than metallic money, draining the metallic liquidity reserves of the Bank of France far below levels that bankers at the time considered prudent. After the circulation of an unfounded rumor that Napoleon himself had raided the metallic reserves for the war …
Belgium: Fortis Group Capital Injection, 2008, Ayodeji George
Belgium: Fortis Group Capital Injection, 2008, Ayodeji George
Journal of Financial Crises
In September 2008, in the wake of the freezing of credit markets caused by the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), Fortis Group, a financial conglomerate incorporated in Belgium and the Netherlands, faced depositor runs and share price deterioration. These negative consequences were a result of its exposures to US subprime mortgage-related assets and other losses from its 2007 acquisition of ABN AMRO, a large Dutch bank. Over the weekend of September 27–29, authorities from Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and the European Central Bank (ECB) held emergency talks, resulting in the announcement of EUR 11.2 billion (USD 14.3 billion) in capital injections …
Belgium And France: Dexia Group Capital Injection, 2008, Ayodeji George
Belgium And France: Dexia Group Capital Injection, 2008, Ayodeji George
Journal of Financial Crises
Dexia Group (Dexia, or the Group) was a banking and insurance conglomerate that specialized in public financing with major operations in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg. Following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in mid-September 2008, Dexia faced a liquidity crunch as wholesale funding markets froze. Faced with insolvency concerns, authorities from the bank’s three primary markets, Belgium, France, and Luxembourg, conducted overnight negotiations to agree on capital injection terms. On September 30, 2008, authorities and the bank’s board of directors announced a EUR 6.4 billion (eventually EUR 6 billion) capital injection intended to restore Dexia’s solvency and maintain systemwide stability.

Advancements In Mine Action: Enhancing Remote Reporting And Analysis Through Innovative Technologies, Rory Collins, Lionel Fragniere, Mateo Dulce Rubio
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
This paper examines the innovative initiatives undertaken by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) Peace and Security Cluster (PSC) in advancing humanitarian mine action (HMA) through remote reporting and analysis technologies. It provides an in-depth analysis of key initiatives, including the development of a mapping tool in Gaza, the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for efficient data management in improvised explosive devices (IED) threat mitigation globally, and the utilization of advanced remote sensing and machine learning technologies in Syria and Afghanistan. Through these use cases, we demonstrate how innovative technologies can be incorporated into HMA to increase …

Basic Identification Of Ammunition In Ukraine Guide: Version 6.0, Senior Lieutenant Perederii, Tony Salvo, Drew Prater
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
Ordnance identification is a critical tenet of any competent munition clearance operation, whether it be civilian or military. Ordnance identification information for first responders, especially safety procedures, is vital when shielding civilians from danger. This is even more important when the munitions being cleared are explosive remnants of war (ERW) from on-going conflict. To that end, Version 6.0 of the Basic Identification of Ammunition in Ukraine1 has been released and has some important updates to help ensure clearance personnel and first responders can help keep civilians safe.

The Explosive Weapons Trauma Care Collective (Extracct): A Roadmap For Reducing Preventable Death Among Civilian Casualties Of Explosive Injury, Hannah Wild, Aparna Cheran, Abby Willging, Christelle Loupforest, Sebastian Kasack, Tim Gargan, Barclay T. Stewart, Adam Kushner
The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction
In a previous issue of The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction, we introduced the rationale underpinning the need for increased emphasis on point-of-injury care as well as enhanced engagement between humanitarian mine action (HMA) and emergency care services for civilian casualties of explosive ordnance (EO).1 The initial working group under which this conceptual foundation was developed was called the Mine Action Trauma Care Collaborative. In the intervening months, that initiative was reconceived as the Explosive Weapons Trauma Care Collective (EXTRACCT) to encompass the broad range of EO and explosive weapons (EW) that inflict harm on civilians in conflict and post-conflict …
A Qualitative Examination Of Factors Potentially Impacting Displacement Of Historically Black Communities, Daffney Moore
A Qualitative Examination Of Factors Potentially Impacting Displacement Of Historically Black Communities, Daffney Moore
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Historically, Black communities have often been discussed in the context of crime and poverty; however, most Black communities were flourishing neighborhoods with businesses, churches, and schools. Most of the literature related to gentrification and displacement does not address the root causes of the disappearance of Black communities, which generally centers on policies, legislation, force-outs, economic development, and racial disparities. This case study aimed to explore the displacement of a suburban historically Black community in St. Louis County, Missouri. Scholars have scarcely examined or written about the history of Black communities. The research question sought to explore the impact of displacement …

Waging A Global Trade War Alone: The Cost Of Blanket Tariffs On Friend And Foe, Edward J. Balistreri, Christine Mcdaniel
Waging A Global Trade War Alone: The Cost Of Blanket Tariffs On Friend And Foe, Edward J. Balistreri, Christine Mcdaniel
Yeutter Institute International Trade Policy Review
We use an advanced model of the global economy to consider a set of scenarios consistent with the proposal to impose a minimum 60% tariff against Chinese imports and blanket minimum 10% tariff against all other US imports. The model’s structure, which includes imperfect competition in increasing-returns industries, is documented in Balistreri, Böhringer, and Rutherford (2024). The basis for the tariff rates is a proposal from former President Donald Trump (see Wolff 2024). We consider these scenarios with and without symmetric retaliation by our trade partners. Our central finding is that a global trade war between the United States and …
Dangerous Speech As An Atrocity Early Warning Indicator: Measuring Changing Conflict Dynamics, Catherine Buerger, Susan Benesch
Dangerous Speech As An Atrocity Early Warning Indicator: Measuring Changing Conflict Dynamics, Catherine Buerger, Susan Benesch
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
Dangerous speech, any expression that can increase the likelihood that someone will commit or condone violence against members of another group, can be a powerful early warning signal of impending mass violence. However, one cannot make a list of words that are dangerous, since the effect of the message depends not only on its content, but also on how it is communicated: by whom, to whom, and under what circumstances. What may be benign in one context may be extremely inflammatory in another. Thus, effective monitoring requires deep knowledge of the local setting and structural factors. The spread of dangerous …
