Close to three billion people-half of the world's population-live on less than two dollars a day.' Within these poor communities, one child in five will not live to see his or her fifth birthday. To boost international development, the United Nations (UN) announced the Millennium Development Goals, aimed at eradicating poverty by 2015.? A number of countries responded at the International Conference for Financing International Development in Monterrey, Mexico, by creating action plans to begin to implement the Millennium Development Goals.4 Yet the Millennium Development Goals will prove difficult to achieve.1

Low-income households often lack access to banking accounts and face high costs for transacting basic financial services through check cashers and other alternative financial service providers. These families find it more difficult to save and plan financially for the future. Living paycheck to paycheck leaves them vulnerable to medical or job emergencies that may endanger their financial stability, and lack of longer-term savings undermines their ability to improve skills, purchase a home, or send their children to college. Additionally, high cost financial services and inadequate access to bank accounts may undermine widely shared societal goals of reducing poverty, moving families …

Regulating Internet Payment Intermediaries, Ronald J. Mann
Regulating Internet Payment Intermediaries, Ronald J. Mann
Faculty Scholarship
The Internet has produced significant changes in many aspects of commercial interaction. The rise of Internet retailers is one of the most obvious changes, but oddly enough the overwhelming majority of commercial transactions facilitated by the Internet use a conventional payment system. Thus, even in 2002, shoppers made at least eighty percent of Internet purchases with credit cards. To many observers, this figure has come as a surprise. The early days of the Internet heralded a variety of proposals for entirely new payment systems – generically described as electronic money – that would use wholly electronic tokens that consumers could …
Domestic And External Debt: The Doomed Quest For Equal Treatment, Anna Gelpern, Brad Setser
Domestic And External Debt: The Doomed Quest For Equal Treatment, Anna Gelpern, Brad Setser
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Until recently, governments borrowed from domestic residents and foreign investors using very different instruments. Residents bought "domestic debt" - paper denominated in local currency and governed by domestic law. Foreign investors preferred "external debt", which offered foreign currency and foreign law. Because there was virtually no overlap between resident and nonresident holdings, it mattered little that lawyers and economists defined domestic and external debt differently: lawyers focused on features such as governing law and jurisdiction, economists on the holder's residence and currency of denomination. The legal and economic definitions of domestic and external debt were effectively bundled: "domestic debt" meant …

The Beneficiary’S Bank And Beneficiary Described By Name And Number: Liability Chain And Liability Standard In Wire Transfers (Part 1), Benjamin Geva
Articles & Book Chapters
This article deals with issues evolving around the identification of the beneficiary in the last payment order in the credit transfer received by the last bank in the transfer chain ("beneficiary's bank"), the duties of the beneficiary's bank in the case of an ambiguous description of the beneficiary in the payment order, and the liability of the beneficiary's bank in case it broke such duties.
Predatory Lending: What’S Wall Street Got To Do With It?,
Predatory Lending: What’S Wall Street Got To Do With It?,
Patricia A. McCoy
In this article, we examine the contention that the secondary market will exert sufficient market discipline to drive predatory home loan lenders from the subprime marketplace. Using a so‐called lemons model, we identify the potential risks that investors encounter if they buy securities backed by predatory home loans. We then explain how structured finance, deal provisions, pricing mechanisms, and legal protections shield investors from much of the risk that those loans entail.
While the secondary market does impose some discipline on the subprime home loan market, it is not enough to bring predatory lending to a halt. We provide rationales …

Alberta And Ontario: Civilizing The Money-Centered Model Of Crime Control, Michelle Gallant
Alberta And Ontario: Civilizing The Money-Centered Model Of Crime Control, Michelle Gallant
Michelle Gallant
An examination of contemporary crime management strategies reveals an emerging trend. With increasing frequency, reliance is placed on a money-centered model of control, a model that copes with crime by attacking its financial underpinnings, the money and the assets linked to the offences. A second trend occurs within the first, the diminution of criminal models in favor of civil legal models. In 2001, the provinces of Alberta and Ontario partook of this trend. Manitoba, in its own unique fashion, joined the movement in 2003.
The paper outlines the contours civil models, identifies the main themes of constitutional conflicts and locates …
