    No. 18-46 Summer 2018 MERCATUS GRADUATE POLICY ESSAY ANALYZING TWO APPROACHES OF SUPERVISING CULTURE IN BANKING by Joe Brunk The opinions expressed in this Graduate Policy Essay are the author’s and do not represent Abstract In light of the financial crisis and other culture-related scandals, regulators have recently begun to address the issues of toxic cultures plaguing banks. The US and the UK have attempted to address these issues using two slightly different top-down approaches. The purpose of this paper is to address the question of whether the US approach to supervising the culture of its banks is superior to the UK’s approach to supervising the culture of its banks. Two case studies show that corporations and industries, even in the absence of government regulations, can create the proper institutional framework and incentives to change their culture. This paper argues that the US approach to supervising bank culture is superior because it is more likely to mitigate the unintended consequences associated with the knowledge problem, namely unethical behavior. Because of its less regimented and burdensome nature, the US approach fosters an environment where banks can adapt to changing circumstances or errors. This approach allows for more flexibility, variation, and competition in attempts to positively change banking culture. Author Bio Joe Brunk is an alumnus of the Mercatus Center MA Fellowship at George Mason University. He is currently a Research Assistant for the Financial Regulation team at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. During the summer of 2017, Joe interned on Capitol Hill with the House Financial Services Committee.

  • State Policy Guide
    2013 STATE POLICY GUIDE ABOUT THE MERCATUS CENTER The Mercatus Center at George Mason University is the world’s premier university source for market-oriented ideas—bridging the gap between academic ideas and real-world problems. A university-based research center, Mercatus advances knowledge about how markets work to improve people’s lives by training graduate students, conducting research, and applying economics to offersolutions to society’s most pressing problems. Our mission is to generate knowledge and understanding of the institutions that affect the freedom to prosper and to find sustainable solutions that overcome the barriers preventing individuals from living free, prosperous, and peaceful lives. Founded in 1980, the Mercatus Center is located on George Mason University’s Arlington campus. www.mercatus.org The Mercatus State Policy Guide is intended to summarize and condense the best research available on the most relevant topics. It’s a starting point for discussion, not a comprehensive overview of economic policy. Each statement is supported by academic research, with links provided in the endnotes. Mercatus scholars are available to further explain the results of their studies. We hope the guide will prove to be a valuable tool in your economic policy research. MERCATUS CENTER AT GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY HOW TO CONTROL SPENDING Research Findings Strict balanced budget requirements should prevent annual deficits and accumulated debt. • A strict balanced budget requirement (1) requires actual—as opposed to prospec- tive—balance, (2) prohibits a deficit to be carried over to the next year, and (3) has an independently elected authority evaluate the budget. • On average, states with strict balanced budget requirements spend less than other states—nearly $200 per capita per year.1 The item-reduction veto is an important tool for governors.

  • The Economic Situation, June 2019
    POLICY BRIEF The Economic Situation, June 2019 Bruce Yandle June 2019 THE ECONOMY AT HALFTIME We are at the year’s midpoint, a good time to assess 2019’s first five months. In short, the US eco- nomic outlook is positive but with a heavy dose of uncertainty. The unemployment rate is low, wages are rising a bit, and GDP growth is hitting some strong marks, but US policy battles over trade, deficits, immigration, and foreign affairs offer heavy doses of uncertainty. We now know that GDP growth for 2018 fell from a quarterly high point of more than 4.0 percent in the second quarter, what some termed a Goldilocks economy, to 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter. Following a series of year-end shocks—government shutdown, interest rate increases, and accelerating trade disputes—what had been a fast growth economy was trembling. However, the first GDP growth estimate for 2019’s first quarter arrived showing a handsome 3.2 percent. But policy uncertainty raised its ugly head again when, in early May, US trade negotiations with China fell apart, equity markets swooned, and investors shifted from equities to cash. Later in May, weakness in industrial production and other national data led some forecasters to offer pale second-quarter GDP growth estimates. For example, retail sales fell in April, as did the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) industrial production index for the third time in recent months.1 Along with these weaker data came a pessimistic assessment of the outlook for the US freight market.2 These and other data led the New York Fed’s May 24th
