A View Of The Dutch Ipo Cathedral, Peter B. Oh
A View Of The Dutch Ipo Cathedral, Peter B. Oh
Articles
This is the Keynote Address for "IPOs and the Internet Age: The Case for Updated Regulations," a symposium held at The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law. Initial public offerings ("IPOs") are an exercise in asymmetrical valuation. One mechanism for bridging these asymmetries is a private financial intermediary to conduct price discovery by meeting with preferred investors. An alternate mechanism is an auction, such as a descending-bid or Dutch procedure, to conduct price discovery by soliciting bids from all prospective investors. Recent disenchantment with the relationship between issuers and intermediaries has prompted some to hail (online) auction-based …
Making Sense Of Nation-Level Bankruptcy Filing Rates, Ronald J. Mann
Making Sense Of Nation-Level Bankruptcy Filing Rates, Ronald J. Mann
Faculty Scholarship
Increased rates of consumer bankruptcy filings are a policy concern around the world. It is not easy, however, to explain the variations in per capita filing rates from country to country. Some of the variation is attributable to different levels of indebtedness. Some is attributable to different cultural attitudes about financial failure. And some is attributable to the accessibility of the legal system as a remedy for irremediable financial distress.
This paper analyzes the differences in nation-level, per capita filing rates. I start with a model that uses economic variables to explain nation-level variations in filing rates. The economic and …
Patterns Of Credit Card Use Among Low And Moderate Income Households, Ronald J. Mann
Patterns Of Credit Card Use Among Low And Moderate Income Households, Ronald J. Mann
Faculty Scholarship
This chapter uses data from the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Consumer Finances for 2004 (the "SCF") to examine the penetration of credit cards into LMI markets. The chapter has two purposes. First, I discuss the rise of the modern credit market, emphasizing the segmentation of product lines based on behavioral and financial characteristics of customer groups. Among other things, that trend involves the use of products aimed at LMI households that differ significantly from those aimed at middle-class households. Second, I describe the extent to which LMI households borrow on credit cards, the types of LMI households that borrow, …
Deconstructing Equity: Public Ownership, Agency Costs, And Complete Capital Markets, Ronald J. Gilson, Charles K. Whitehead
Deconstructing Equity: Public Ownership, Agency Costs, And Complete Capital Markets, Ronald J. Gilson, Charles K. Whitehead
Faculty Scholarship
The traditional law and finance focus on agency costs presumes that the premise that diversified public shareholders are the cheapest risk bearers is immutable. In this Essay, we raise the possibility that changes in the capital markets have called this premise into question, drawn into sharp relief by the recent private equity wave in which the size and range of public companies being taken private expanded signficantly. In brief, we argue that private owners, in increasingly complete markets, can transfer risk in discrete slices to counterparties who, in turn, can manage or otherwise diversify away those risks they choose to …
An Artifact Of Law: U.S. Prohibition Of Retail Hedge Funds, Houman B. Shadab
An Artifact Of Law: U.S. Prohibition Of Retail Hedge Funds, Houman B. Shadab
Articles & Chapters
The U.S. hedge fund market is one of the largest and most sophisticated hedge fund markets in the world, yet due to U.S. securities regulation it is also one of the least accessible. In the U.S., federal securities law requires individuals to be wealthy to qualify to invest in hedge funds. Nonwealthy individuals, or retail investors, are effectively prohibited from purchasing hedge fund securities. Wealth-based qualifications are meant to ensure that those investing in hedge funds possess enough financial sophistication to make informed investment decisions. However, the application of wealth-based qualifications to hedge fund investors is more an artifact of …

Reputational Sanctions In China's Securities Market, Benjamin L. Liebman, Curtis J. Milhaupt
Reputational Sanctions In China's Securities Market, Benjamin L. Liebman, Curtis J. Milhaupt
Faculty Scholarship
Literature suggests two distinct paths to stock market development: an approach based on legal protections for investors, and an approach based on self-regulation of listed companies by stock exchanges. This Essay traces China's attempts to pursue both approaches, while focusing primarily on the role of the stock exchanges as regulators. Specifically, the Essay examines a fascinating but unstudied aspect of Chinese securities regulation – public criticism of listed companies by the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges. Based on both event study methodology and extensive interviews of market actors, we find that the public criticisms have significant effects on listed companies and …
The Impact Of Predatory Lending Laws: Policy Implications And Insights
The Impact Of Predatory Lending Laws: Policy Implications And Insights
Patricia A. McCoy
Over half the states and several localities have enacted statutes and ordinances to regulate abuses in the residential mortgage market. The effect of these statutes is a matter of debate. This paper seeks to improve the understanding of this increasingly important issue and pays particular attention to the role that legal enforcement mechanisms play in this context.
We created a legal index of laws governing mortgage lending terms and practices, giving each state an overall score for the strength of its laws. In addition, we disaggregated the index to create sub-indices along three dimensions: (1) the scope of loans covered …

The Legal Infrastructure Of Subprime And Nontraditional Mortgage Lending
The Legal Infrastructure Of Subprime And Nontraditional Mortgage Lending
Patricia A. McCoy
This paper provides a critical analysis of the legal landscape of residential mortgage lending and explains how federal law abdicated regulation of the subprime market. First, the paper presents the historical backdrop to government oversight of mortgage lending and identifies the changes to and innovations in the lending process that contributed to the recent transformation of the residential mortgage market. We then describe recent attempts at the state and federal level to re-regulate and the backlash initiated by the federal banking agencies to thwart regulation of their constituent banks through preemption, resulting in parallel universes of regulation. Next, the article …

“La Nueva Directiva Sobre El Crédito Al Consumo O El Discreto Encanto De Una Armonización Total (Con Muchas Excepciones)”, Luis González Vaqué
Luis González Vaqué
En los considerandos segundo y tercero de la Directiva objeto de nuestro estudio se hace referencia a los resultados insatisfactorios de la armonización mínima consagrada por la Directiva 87/102/CEE. En este sentido, el legislador comunitario, refiriéndose a las divergencias legislativas detectadas, declara lo siguiente:
«La situación de hecho y de derecho resultante de estas disparidades nacionales produce en algunos casos distorsiones de la competencia entre prestamistas dentro de la Comunidad y entorpece el funcionamiento del mercado interior cuando las disposiciones obligatorias adoptadas por los Estados miembros son más restrictivas que las establecidas en la Directiva 87/102/CEE. Asimismo, reduce las posibilidades …
