The Order To Pay Money In Medieval Continental Europe, Benjamin Geva
The Order To Pay Money In Medieval Continental Europe, Benjamin Geva
Benjamin Geva
This chapter discusses the evolution of non-cash payment mechanisms in the course of the development of the medieval banking system in Europe. The chapter sets out three categories of a medieval continental financier. The first category, pawnbrokers, consisted of lenders who lent out of their capital primarily for consumption who played no role in the development of the payment system. The second category consisted of moneychangers who accepted deposits and whose practices were rooted in in the manual exchange of coins. The third category consisted of exchange bankers whose practices emerged from the exchange of money in long distance trade. …
Foiled By The Banks? How A Lender's Decision May Support Or Undermine A Jurisdiction's Environmental Policies That Promote Green Buildings, Darren Prum
Darren A. Prum
In a report from the United Nations Environmental Program that addressed climate change, the authors point out that the built environment in both emerging and developed countries accounts for more than forty percent of the global energy usage while also emitting at least one third of the world’s greenhouse gasses. They further assert that the built environment offers an unsurpassed opportunity to supply cost effective, lasting, and meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. In response to such a call to action, many state and local governments turned to a variety of policies to ensure that the real estate developments within …

Tmi About Pmi: A Basic Guide To Private Mortgage Insurance, Marie Sarantakis
Marie Sarantakis
Purchasing a home for the first time can be an intimidating and overwhelming experience for the average consumer. In an economic downturn, Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) is a commonly utilized mechanism that affords homebuyers the ability to purchase a residence with a minimal down payment while insulating the lender as the beneficiary of the policy. PMI is an often dreaded and misunderstood expense. This basic guide provides a rudimentary understanding of PMI for a real estate novice.

A Preliminary Look At State Structures For Regulating Financial Services, Elizabeth F. Brown
A Preliminary Look At State Structures For Regulating Financial Services, Elizabeth F. Brown
Elizabeth F Brown
Within the past thirty-five years approximately fifty nations have consolidated their financial regulatory agencies into either a single integrated agency or into two semi-integrated agencies. The United States has resisted this trend, due in part to a concern that the costs of such significant consolidation would exceed its benefits. The existing studies that compare the costs of the consolidated regulators around the world with the United States regime have often been discounted because they have been unable to control for differences in culture and regulatory intensity between those other countries and the United States. This article attempts to address this …

Assessing Risk, Liability And Asset Management Investments Among U.S. And Foreign Banks: Bank Of America, Wells Fargo, And Wachovia, Valencia Tamir Johnson Dr.
Valencia T Johnson
In recent years, banks have had a positive and negative impact on assessing risk, liability and asset management from other competitors such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Wachovia. There have been many recent discussions about the U.S. and International banking management and investments. The Federal Reserve and the U.S. Exchange Commission are finding ways to evaluate the negative and positive behaviors exhibited by other financial institutions, which has an impact on the global economy, and in regards to financial management and investments. This article explains the important of assessing the risk and compliance management in financial banking and …
Improving Fraudulent Transfer Law In Leverage Buy-Outs Through Judicial Certainty & Reliability, Vincent V. Hilldrup
Improving Fraudulent Transfer Law In Leverage Buy-Outs Through Judicial Certainty & Reliability, Vincent V. Hilldrup
Vincent V. Hilldrup
LBOs that file for bankruptcy are routinely challenged under fraudulent transfer law, where plaintiffs allege that the LBO unreasonably reduced the target’s liquidity and capital adequacy, saddled it with debt and was completed as a means of funneling company assets to both current and former shareholders. These cases will bestow upon bankruptcy courts the responsibility and power of efficiently allocating billions of dollars to classes of creditors and clawing back funds from shareholders. Since these cases will have a crucial impact on the overall economy, it is imperative that bankruptcy courts wield their authority and power in a predictable, fair, …

In preparing to write this paper, I read again Walter Bagehot’s Lombard Street: A Description of the Money Market , Perry Mehrling’s The New Lombard Street: How the Fed Became the Dealer of Last Resort and John Authers’ The Fearful Rise of Markets: Global Bubbles, Synchronized Meltdowns, and How to Prevent Them in the Future. . Bagehot, of course, was the Governor of the Bank of England when he wrote what Mehrling calls his “magisterial” treatise in 1873 on how a central bank must react to a financial crisis. Mehrling is an economist and an economic historian. Authers is a …

Is The Middle East Moving Toward Islamism After The Arab Spring? The Case Study Of The Egyptian Commercial And Financial Laws, Radwa S. Elsaman Ms., Ahmed Eldakak Mr.
Radwa S Elsaman
The parliamentary elections that followed the Egyptian Revolution witnessed an unprecedented success for Islamists as they secured an overwhelming majority of seats, suggesting that they may intend to amend many laws to bring it in compliance with the Islamic Shari’a. This article addresses legal challenges that will face the new majority if they decide to Islamize laws and regulations related to business and finance. Particularly, the article discusses Islamic money theory, trade, banking systems, consumer protection, insurance, competition, and tax systems. The article analyzes the Egyptian business and finance laws to examine whether they comply with Islamic law. It then …

Implementing Dodd-Frank: A Review Of The Cftc‟S Rulemaking Process: Testimony, Michael Greenberger

The Relationship of Unregulated OTC Derivatives to the Meltdown. It is now accepted wisdom that it was the non-transparent, poorly capitalized, and almost wholly unregulated over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives market that lit the fuse that exploded the highly vulnerable worldwide economy in the fall of 2008. Because tens of trillions of dollars of these financial products were pegged to the economic performance of an overheated and highly inflated housing market, the sudden collapse of that market triggered under-capitalized or non-capitalized OTC derivative guarantees of the subprime housing investments. Moreover, the many undercapitalized insurers of that collapsing market had other multi-trillion dollar …

Summary: The Big Banks: Background, Deregulation, Financial Innovation and Too Big to Fail
The U.S. economy is still reeling from the financial crisis that exploded in the fall of 2008. This article asserts that the big banks were major culprits in causing the crisis, by funding the non-bank lenders that created the toxic mortgages which the big banks securitized and sold to unwary investors. Paradoxically, banks which were then too big to fail are even larger today.
The article briefly reviews the history of banking from the Founding Fathers to the deregulatory mindset that has been present since 1980. It …

Deposit Accounts Under The New World Order, Ingrid Michelsen Hillinger, David Line Batty, Richard K. Brown

The new world is upon us. Repent. Revised Article 9 is the law in every state. Commercial deposit accounts are now available as original collateral. Bringing commercial deposit accounts into the Article 9 fold significantly complicates the planning of an Article 9 secured transaction. Attorneys for banks, non-bank creditors and debtors need to understand the new world order and the risks it poses to their clients. They need to develop strategies to minimize those risks so as to protect their clients' positions. Part II of this article describes the new legal framework and some of the risks it creates. Part …

Held Hostage: How The Banking Sector Has Distorted Financial Regulation And Destroyed Technological Progress, Aaron Greenspan
Aaron Greenspan
In 2008, a global financial crisis second only to the Great Depression shed light on the utterly dysfunctional system of financial regulation governing the United States. A cacophony of laws and agencies, charged with regulating retail and investment banks, ultimately failed to prevent (and ultimately accelerated) an epic economic disaster that required enormous taxpayer bailouts of private enterprise, sunk two investment banks (Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns), imploded an enormous insurance provider (A.I.G.), leveled the American auto industry (General Motors and Chrysler), and destroyed the student loan and mortgage industries, among many, many others. Drafted quickly amidst the wreckage, the …

The Relationship of Unregulated OTC Derivatives to the Meltdown. It is now accepted wisdom that it was the non-transparent, poorly capitalized, and almost wholly unregulated over-the-counter (―OTC‖) derivatives market that lit the fuse that exploded the highly vulnerable worldwide economy in the fall of 2008. Because tens of trillions of dollars of these financial products were pegged to the economic performance of an overheated and highly inflated housing market, the sudden collapse of that market triggered under-capitalized or non-capitalized OTC derivative guarantees of the subprime housing investments.

Both Giving And Taking: Should Misuse Of Atms And Electronic Payment Systems Be Theft, Fraud Or Neither?, Alex Steel
Both Giving And Taking: Should Misuse Of Atms And Electronic Payment Systems Be Theft, Fraud Or Neither?, Alex Steel
Alex Steel
Although transactions via automatic teller machines and other computerised cash payment systems are now very widespread the criminal law relating to their misuse remains confused. Unauthorised withdrawals can be prosecuted as both theft and fraud. By contrast, similar behaviour involving interactions with human tellers is generally not criminal. The result is a deeply flawed and contradictory legal landscape. This article provides an analysis and critique of the case law and legislation that has led to this result and proposes an alternative statutory offence that better reflects the commercial and consumer realities of electronic transactions.

The Role Of Derivatives In The Financial Crisis – Testimony Before The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, June 30, 2010, Michael Greenberger
Michael Greenberger
It is now almost universally accepted that the unregulated multi-trillion dollar OTC CDS market helped foment a mortgage crisis, then a credit crisis, and finally a ―once-in-a-century systemic financial crisis that, but for huge U.S. taxpayer interventions, would have in the fall of 2008 led the world economy into a devastating Depression. Before explaining below the manner in which credit default swaps fomented this crisis, it worth citing in the margin those many economists, regulators, market observers, and financial columnists who have described the central role unregulated CDS played in the crisis. Even those once skeptical of arguments about the …
Do Accounting Rules Matter? The Dangerous Allure Of Mark To Market, Todd Henderson
Do Accounting Rules Matter? The Dangerous Allure Of Mark To Market, Todd Henderson
Todd Henderson
This paper examines the relative strength of two imperfect accounting rules: historical cost and mark to market. The manifest inaccuracy of historical cost is well known, and, paradoxically one source of its hidden strength. Because private parties know of its evident weaknesses they look elsewhere for information. In contrast, mark to market for hard-to-value assets has many hidden weaknesses. In this paper we show how it creates asset bubbles and exacerbate their negative collateral consequences once they burst. It does the former by allowing banks to adopt generous valuations in up-markets that increase their lending capacity. It does the latter …

I. Between Scylla and Charybdis: The balancing act of lending to the poor (Abstract)
Over the past two decades, microfinance has grown rapidly, reaching markets around the world and garnering the attention of policy makers and the media. Microfinance is the practice of offering small-scale banking services to communities in developing nations to improve the client's productivity and quality of life. The microfinance industry has attracted investors and practitioners who wish to unlock the profit potential of new markets while also achieving a philanthropic goal. As microfinance has grown, however, so has the need for legal regulation. Experts and practitioners …
