The Impact of Basel III on Korean Financial Services Financial Services The Impact of Basel III on Korean Financial Services Disclaimer This report was produced by Oliver Wyman on behalf of the Financial Supervisory Service. The figures presented in this report are based on outside- in analysis, using public data sources and internal Oliver Wyman reference data. The report aims to be neutral about the need for and merits of the new Basel III regulation, and to be purely factual about its strategic implications on the Korean banking landscape. The implications are hypotheses on behalf of Oliver Wyman and do not necessarily reflect the FSS’s own judgments; neither do they promise nor preclude any FSS action.

Kindleberger Number 114 August 1973 massachusetts institute of technology 50 memorial drive Cambridge, mass. 02139 THE FORMATION OF FINANCIAL CENTERS: A STUDY IN COMPARATIVE ECONOMIC HISTORY C. P. Kindleberger Number 114 August 1973 Draft. Comments, corrections, criticism welcome. 1. I. Introduction It is a curious fact that the formation of financial centers is not studied today in economics. Partly it falls between two stools. Urban and regional economics which concern themselves with cities discuss the location of commerce, industry and housing but rarely that of finance. (An exception should perhaps be made for Canada [Kerr, 1965, 1967] and for i France [Labasse].) A recent United States survey of urban economics men- tioned finance only once in the text, and referred to no book on the subject in a bibliography of 438 items [Goldstein and Moses]. At the same time, a vigorous new literature on money and capital markets and their role in eco- nomic development takes no interest in geographical location or the relation- ships among financial centers [Goldsmith, McKinnon, Sametz, Shaw]. Apart from a sentence or two, one would think that the money and capital market was spread evenly throughout a given country. Such general analytical literature as I have found goes back to World War I.

  • Why Do Countries Implement Basel II? an Analysis of the Global Diffusion of Basel II Implementation
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Why do countries implement Basel II? An analysis of the global diffusion of Basel II implementation Young Bong Cho January 2013 A thesis submitted to the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics and Political Science for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, January 2013 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 98,585 words. Abstract Like its predecessor, Basel II has profoundly shaped bank capital adequacy regimes across the world. However, there has been little systematic research on the state of Basel II implementation across developed and developing countries, and the factors that promote or hinder the implementation of these voluntary standards are particularly under-researched. By drawing on a new global dataset of Basel II implementation across 150 countries compiled by the author, this thesis evaluates the state of Basel II implementation at the global level and investigates why countries implement Basel II. Three novel channels of policy diffusion formed across supervisory authorities, global banks and financial sectors were specifically constructed to study the diffusion of Basel II policies using a mixed-method research design.

METHODS In this prospective study nested within the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (STCS), all clinically relevant infections were identified by transplant-infectious diseases physicians in persons receiving solid organ transplant (SOT) between May 2008 and December 2014 with ฀12 months of follow-up. RESULTS Among 3541 SOT recipi- ents, 2761 (1612 kidney, 577 liver, 286 lung, 213 heart, and 73 kidney-pancreas) had ฀12 months of follow- up; 1520 patients (55%) suffered 3520 infections during the first year posttransplantation. Burden and timelines of clinically relevant infections differed between transplantations. Bacteria were responsible for 2202 infections (63%) prevailing throughout the year, with a predominance of Enterobacteriaceae (54%) as urinary pathogens in heart, lung, and kidney transplant recipients, and as digestive tract pathogens in liver transplant recipients. Enterococcus spp (20%) occurred as urinary tract pathogens in kidney transplant recipients and as digestive tract pathogens in liver transplant recipients, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9%) in lung transplant recipients. Among 1039 viral infections, herpesviruses predominated (51%) in kidney, liver, and heart transplant recipients.
