    The Levy Institute Generates Effective Public Policy Responses to Economic Problems That Profoundly Affect the Quality of Life in the United States and Abroad

    Biennial Report 2004–2005 The Levy Economics Institute of Bard College was founded in 1986, through the generous support of Bard College Trustee Leon Levy, as a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. It is independent of any political or other affiliation and encourages diversity of opinion in the examination of economic issues. The purpose of all Levy Institute research and activities is to enable scholars and leaders in business, labor, and government to work together on problems of common interest. Levy Institute findings are disseminated—via publications, conferences, workshops, seminars, congressional testimony, and other activities—to an international audience of public officials, private sector executives, academics, and the general public. Through this process of scholarship, analysis, and informed debate, the Levy Institute generates effective public policy responses to economic problems that profoundly affect the quality of life in the United States and abroad. The Levy Institute’s main conference and research facility is Blithewood Manor, on the campus of Bard College, located 90 miles north of New York City. The Levy Institute is housed in Blithewood Manor at Bard College. 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 4 NEW INITIATIVE 6 RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS : .. , : , - () : : : , , 26 CONFERENCES 36 THE LEVY INSTITUTE BOOK SERIES 37 BIOGRAPHIES OF INSTITUTE SCHOLARS 44 BOARD, ADMINISTRATION, AND RESEARCH STAFF MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT In the biennial reports of previous years, I described how the Levy Institute draws inspiration and guid- ance not only from its founders and scholars but from a world facing many new and daunting chal- lenges.

From July 1999 through June 2001 (the "relevant period"), Deutsche Bank engaged in acts and practices that created and/or maintained inappropriate.influence by investment banking over research analysts, thereby creating conflicts of interest for its research analysts. Deutsche Bank failed to manage these conflicts in an adequate manner. During this time period, Deutsche Bank offered research coverage in order to gain investment banking business and receive investment banking fees.

In addition, Deutsche Bank compensated its research analysts based in part upon their contributions to Deutsche Bank's investment banking business. These relationships and activities constituted substantial conflicts of interest for Deutsche Bank's research analysts. 3.

    Credit Rating - Role in Modern Financial System

    IRJC International Journal of Marketing, Financial Services & Management Research Vol.1 Issue 8, August 2012, ISSN 2277 3622 CREDIT RATING - ROLE IN MODERN FINANCIAL SYSTEM K.S.VENKATESWARA KUMAR*; S. HANUMANTHA RAO** *Assistant Professor, KLU Business School, K L University, Greenfields, Vaddeswaram, Guntur – 522502. **Assistant Professor, MBA Department, Vignan University, Vadlamudi, Guntur – 522213. ABSTRACT Credit rating business is a niche segment in the financial services arena. In the post-reforms era, with increased activity in the Indian Financial sector both existing and new companies are opting for finance from the capital market. The competition among firms for a slice of the savings cake has increased. Credit rating business in India is a sweet spot as it is on the cusp of robust growth potential, driven by three triggers: Strong capex cycle in Indian economy, lower penetration of corporate bond market and regulatory push due to implementation of Basel II norms. Credit rating helps in the development of financial markets. Credit rating is an investor service and a rating agency is expected to maintain the highest possible level of analytical competence and integrity. The analytical framework of rating deals with evaluation of both the business and financial risks associated with that entity. Besides qualitative aspects like management capabilities also play a considerable role in determining a rating. Credit ratings establish a link between risk & return. They thus provide a yardstick against which to measure the risk inherent in any instrument. Analytical framework of rating deals with evaluation of both the business & financial risks associated with that entity. The Reserve Bank of India liaises with SEBI, on the issue of rating agencies’ adherence to IOSCO Code of Conduct Fundamentals.

  • Greenwald on Graham

    Greenwald on Graham

    9/13/05 Benjamin Graham by Bruce Greenwald A brilliant investor and magnetic teacher, Benjamin Graham contributed more to the development of modern professional investment practices than any other single individual. He created an approach to analyzing securities that even today, seventy years after his pioneering work, is the basis for the success of a strikingly large fraction of outstanding investors. The idea that business practices, even in agriculture, should be the object of professional study and continuous improvement is a surprisingly recent one. From Roman times until roughly 1800, there appears to have been no significant increase in economic productivity and hence no measurable improvement in average global standards of living. From 1800 to 1850, economic growth began at a relatively slow but steady pace in Europe and North America. Relatively rapid improvements in living standards only arrived in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Adjusting for inflation, the wages of American workers rose by about 70 percent in the forty years between 1850 and 1890, doubled between 1890 and 1930 and, despite the Depression, tripled between 1930 and 1970. Life expectancy over this period rose from 41 to 70 years. Since 1970, modern standards of living have begun to spread beyond Europe and North America, most notably to Japan, China, India, and other parts of Asia. Although scientific progress provided the basis for these changes, it is notable that the relevant developments in science preceded the rise in living standards by many years. The proximate cause of rising productivity appears to have been the systematic application of technology though sustained attention to improving business (including agricultural) practices.
