Guilty By Association? Regulating Credit Default Swaps, Houman B. Shadab Jan 2010

Guilty By Association? Regulating Credit Default Swaps, Houman B. Shadab

Articles & Chapters

A wide range of U.S. policymakers initiated a series of actions in 2008 and 2009 to bring greater regulation and oversight to credit default swaps (CDSs) and other over-the-counter derivatives. The policymakers’ stated motivations echoed widely expressed criticisms of the regulation, characteristics, and practices of the CDS market, and focused on the risks of the instruments and the lack of public transparency over their utilization and execution.

Government Trade Policy And The Professional Regulation Of Foreign Lawyers, Sydney M. Cone Iii. Jan 1986

Government Trade Policy And The Professional Regulation Of Foreign Lawyers, Sydney M. Cone Iii.

Articles & Chapters
