Determinantes Explícitos E Implícitos De La Deuda Externa Pública Peruana, José Manuel Martin Coronado Dec 2003

Determinantes Explícitos E Implícitos De La Deuda Externa Pública Peruana, José Manuel Martin Coronado

José-Manuel Martin Coronado

This research aims to prove that sound economic policies are nothing more that basic conditions for the foreign public debt problem. In fact, by studying the factors of public debt issues in Peru, Latin America and the emerging economies it’s clear that some implicit economic and non-economic factors have to be considered because of the social complexity and variable characteristics in emerging economies. This causes failures in economic policies assumptions, inefficiencies, distorted causality and nonrational behavior. This paper proposes, first, to perform a deep and comparative analysis of the foreign debt determinants in emerging economies, then, to allocate financial resources, …

Close-Out Netting & Set-Off Under U.S. Banking Insolvency Law, Christian Johnson Aug 2003

Close-Out Netting & Set-Off Under U.S. Banking Insolvency Law, Christian Johnson

Christian A. Johnson

The huge role of U.S. banks in the derivatives industry means counterparties must understand the treatment of close-out netting and set-off for an insolvent bank by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Close-out netting and set-off, both of which are typically provided under the ISDA Master Agreement, provide the most effective and efficient way to minimize credit risk with respect to the insolvency of a counterparty.

Two Conceptions Of Relevance, Jonathan Yovel Jan 2003

Two Conceptions Of Relevance, Jonathan Yovel

Jonathan Yovel

Courts use complex modes of relevance judgments in regulating the introduction of information and construction of factual narratives; likewise, common law works both through and around relevance presuppositions in determining doctrine. This study examines different functions of relevance - conceived as different conceptions, at times competing, at times interdependent. The distinctions between these conceptions are arranged on three levels: 1) a normative/"causal" level, arguing for the status of relevance as a requirement for a "meaning-based" conception of entailment and drawing on discussions from relevance logic (RL) and modal logic; 2) a pragmatic/metapragmatic level that explores the ways in which law's …

Netting, Financial Contracts, And Banks: The Economic Implications, William Bergman, Christian Johnson, Robert Bliss, George Kaufman Dec 2002

Netting, Financial Contracts, And Banks: The Economic Implications, William Bergman, Christian Johnson, Robert Bliss, George Kaufman

Christian A. Johnson

Derivatives and certain other off-balance sheet contracts enjoy special legal protection on insolvent counterparties through a process referred to as close-out netting. This paper explores the legal status and economic implications of this protection. While this protection benefits major derivatives dealers and derivatives markets, it is less clear that other market participants or markets in general are better or worse off. While we are not able to conclude whether or not these protections are socially optimal, we outline the wide range of issues that a general consideration of the pros and cons of netting protection should take into cognizance, and …
