FRAUD IN FINANCIAL CRISES ABSTRACT The financial crisis of 2007-2009 was marked by widespread fraud in the mortgage securitization industry. Most of the largest mortgage originators and mortgage-backed securities issuers and underwriters have been implicated in regulatory settlements, and many have paid multibillion-dollar penalties. This paper seeks to explain why this behavior became so pervasive. We evaluate predominant theories of white-collar crime, finding that those emphasizing deregulation or technical opacity identify only necessary, not sufficient conditions.

  • Open Final - HOW INCENTIVES CONTRIBUTED to the GREAT Recessiondocx.Pdf
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE HOW INCENTIVES CONTRIBUTED TO THE GREAT RECESSION? RENYU WU SPRING 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Finance with honors in Finance Reviewed and approved* by the following: Sajay Samuel Clinical Professor of Accounting Thesis Supervisor Brian Davis Clinical Associate Professor of Finance Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Incentives are widely assumed to be both necessary and beneficial to the proper functioning of markets. Unsurprisingly, a variety of incentives were used throughout the securitized mortgage market. Every link in that so called “securitized food chain” was regulated by incentives mechanisms designed to align the interests of the contracting parties. Yet, the failure of this securitized mortgage market was a key element in the most consequential economic disaster since the Great Depression. In this essay, I describe the incentive mechanisms built into the mortgage backed securities market. I review the claims made on behalf of these mechanisms and highlight the recognition of their failure as contributing to the financial crisis of 2008. I then argue that incentive mechanisms will always fail to work as expected and further that behaving in response to incentives is not the same as behaving ethically. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................
