  • Collective Action Problems in Monitoring Managers the Enron Case As a Systemic Problem
    COLLECTIVE ACTION PROBLEMS IN MONITORING MANAGERS THE ENRON CASE AS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM By Peter Gourevitch University of California, San Diego [email protected] At the core of the Enron disaster lies a problem of considerable conceptual interest and importance: the obstacles to collective action which arise when an agent (in this case the managers) is monitored by many principals (in this case the shareholders) rather than one principal (Lyne and Tierney, 2002). This occurs often in politics and other areas, and deserves some attention not only to understand the problems of corporate governance and the human suffering caused by the Enron failure but also to understand the type of problem more broadly (Shinn and Gourevitch, 2002). In the Enron case, stockholders were taken advantage of by managerial greed, reinforced by the collusion among “reputational intermediaries” who play an important part in the monitoring system. The Enron case also informs the lively discussions that compare corporate governance systems—the shareholder model of the US and the UK in contrast with the stakeholder model associated with Germany and other countries in continental Europe (Aguilera and Jackson, 2002; Dore, 2000; Lazonick, 2000; Berger and Dore, 1996; La Porta, et. al.2000.) The US model is said to protect the rights of external shareholders from the abuses that can be carried out by “inside owners,” or blockholders common in the stakeholder model. And it appears to do so. But the US model has a vulnerability which arises out of its virtues: the laws that protect external investors create fragmented ownership, which in turn creates a collective action problem: no one has an incentive to pay the transactions costs required to monitor the managers.

    C/82-6 INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF MIT Compiled by the Center for International Studies Center for International Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 October 1982 a October 1982 INTERNATIONAL ASPECTS OF MIT Compiled by the Center for International Studies MIT as an institution, its faculty, student body, and research staff, are deeply engaged in contemporary affairs, an engagement that necessarily implies a major interest in international issues and concerns. The attached survey was compiled by the Center for International Studies to try to assemble existing information about MIT's varied international ties. We undertook this task for a number of reasons -- it would be useful to have available in one place information about a facet of MIT's character directly relevant to this Center's interests; it would be informative to others at MIT and to interested outsiders to realize how deep and pervasive are the Institute's interest and involvement in the affairs of the whole world; it might help individual members of the faculty identify others with converging interests; and it might help identify some priority needs or opportunities. We are thus making it available to the MIT community and others in the belief it will be interesting and useful. Summary and Abstract The purpose of this survey is merely to describe MIT's varied international activities, not to evaluate or explain them. Moreover, the true international role of an institution like MIT cannot be expressed only by what can be counted. There are many other facets of that role -- international professional travel of faculty and staff; personal advisory activities for government, industry, and international organizations; or the effects on international affairs of the research and human products of MIT -- that cannot be meaningfully catalogued.

Course Description This course critically examines fundamental concepts and theories of economic development, and traces how policy thinking about the development process has evolved over time. Changing global economic trends, and new findings from extensive empirical research over the past two decades have posed several new challenges to our understanding of how regions develop, change, and grow. We will use directed readings, policy debates, and case materials to examine how our current thinking about key development problems—such as economic growth, employment, competitiveness, industrial upgrading, skill formation, the organization of work, and institutional arrangements that sustain innovative development processes—has changed in light of new local and global challenges. The course has three components. The first introduces students to historical debates about economic development, their policy implications and how they have been applied to issues of local and regional development. The second part examines how these debates have shifted in recent years in response to the emergence of new problems in economic development such as globalization, outsourcing, the rise of the “new competition” and the need for regions and localities to find new ways to adjust and prosper in an uncertain and volatile global economy and in the face of new threats such as a changing climate. How do these new pressures alter normative debates about place, upward mobility and economic progress? How do they change our thinking about economic development theory, policy and practice? What does it mean for regulation and governance of local economies? The third component uses case studies to address some of these questions.

  • External Trade Policy Liberalization in the European Union Brian T
    What Happened to Fortress Europe?: External Trade Policy Liberalization in the European Union Brian T. Hanson One of the most striking features of the international economy since the mid-1980s has been the proliferation and intensification of regional trading arrangements around the world. Among the most prominent developments, the European Union (EU) imple- mented a program to create the world’s largest single market, embarked on creating a common currency, added five new member states, and is contemplating the further addition of ten or more countries.1 The United States, Canada, and Mexico launched the North American Free Trade Agreement and have announced their intention to expand the arrangement widely in Latin America to create a Free Trade Area of the Americas. In Asia, the rapid growth of regional trade and investment flows has piqued interest in the creation of formal regional trade arrangements. The most ambitious plan has been the declaration of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation group to create a regional free trade area by 2020. This eruption of regional economic initiatives has aroused deep concerns about their impact on the international economy. Many fear that decades of progress to- ward increased international trade liberalization reached though the rule-based mul- tilateral system of the General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) will be destroyed as Europe, North America, and Asia become ‘‘fortresses’’ in which some trading partners obtain refuge, while others For their thoughtful comments on earlier drafts, I would like to thank Karen Alter, Phineas Baxandall, Suzanne Berger, James Caporaso, Cliff Bob, Brian Burgoon, Mark Duckenfield, Jeffry Frieden, Eugene Gholz, Peter Gourevitch, Peter Hall, Torben Iversen, David Lake, Richard Locke, Sophie Meunier, Andy Moravcsik, Ken Oye, Paul Pierson, Dick Samuels, Alberta Sbragia, Nick Ziegler, and three anonymous reviewers.

Publication Date 2002-07-24 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Dynamics of Regulatory Change: How Globalization Affects National Regulatory Policies Edited by David Vogel & Robert Kagan Published in association with University of California Press Dynamics of Regulatory Change: How Globalization Affects National Regulatory Policies An Introduction David Vogel and Robert A. Kagan I. Introduction The intellectual impetus for this volume emerged from the issues addressed in Trading Up: Consumer and Environmental Regulation in a Global Economy written by David Vogel (1995), one of the volume’s editors. In Trading Up , Vogel explicitly challenged the claim made by globalization critics, especially those from the environmental community, that economic liberalization leads to a lowering of regulatory standards. Vogel argues that, on the contrary, under certain circumstances, global economic integration can actually lead to the strengthening of consumer and environmental standards. The result is thus more akin to a “race to the top” than to a “race to the bottom.” Trading Up primarily dealt with one category of national policies – those that governed the safety and environmental impact of traded products. The aim of this volume is to extend the focus of Trading Up by focusing on a broader array of issue areas. Since the impacts of globalization are likely to vary by policy area, we solicited essays on the impact of globalization on labor rights, women’s rights and capital market regulations, in additio n to environmental standards.
