I am sure this will come handy for all those who do not have a copy of the Crucible books. Truly appreciate your passion for quizzing and Crucible in particular. Giri (Pick Brain) QM – Tata Crucible Niraj Agarwal I managed to land up in the Mumbai regional finals of the Tata Crucible (’10) Sidhartha and I have your brilliant compilation to thank for. For a noob like me, your e-book was a godsend as a one-stop shop for crucible material. In fact, your I am truly amazed by what you book's popularity is quite wide spread have done for the quizzing because one enterprising candidate fraternity. A BIG Thank You ! had taken its printout and brought it along in hope of cracking the prelims! Thanks again, and may the force be with you! Awesome content! Commendable effort buddy. I am sure it must have taken an awful lot of time to compile them and publish. I can understand the labor gone into it as I am a TC finalist at Hyderabad Raghuram Rallapalli Ankur Jindal this year and spend some time trawling the net for fundaes! Complied by: www.handakafunda.com/?botc Best of TATA Crucible Complied by: www.handakafunda.com/?botc Best of TATA Crucible Tata Crucible does not need any introduction to the quizzing community in India. As far as the quality of the quiz and the hoopla surrounding the event is concerned, people have different opinions. As a matter of fact even both of us have contrasting views regarding Tata Crucible, its content and various issues. However, the one fact that both of us do agree upon is, that it is a quiz followed closely by many quizzers. We went around looking for a set of questions which have been asked in Crucible but the best we could find was on Nair’s site. Although the collection is quite comprehensive, a large number of questions are now outdated. Giri has the tendency to ask quite a few questions on current affairs, which we appreciate, but current affairs of 2007 are not relevant in 2010 or 2020. Also, some quiz bloggers had posted questions of their cities from memory hence some were without answers, erroneous or ill framed. So, we decided to take care of these problems and set out with a task to make a database of questions from Tata Crucible which are relevant today and will be relevant even in 2020, if Tata Crucible lasts that long. We sure hope it does. In this document you would find a set of 421 questions** which have been asked in Tata Crucible Corporate Editions over the years 2006 to 2009. For the list of cities covered have a look at the table given below: City\Years 2009 2008 2007 2006 Ahemdabad Bangalore Bhubneshwar Chandigarh Chennai Cochin Coimbatore Delhi Goa Hyderabad Indore Jaipur Jamshedpur Kochi Kolkata Lucknow Mumbai Pune Ranchi FINALS We hope that you find this compilation helpful.

  • The Public Option in Housing Finance
    The Public Option in Housing Finance Adam J. Levitin†* and Susan M. Wachter** The U.S. housing finance system presents a conundrum for the scholar of regulation because it defies description using the traditional regulatory vocabulary of command-and-control, taxation, subsidies, cap-and-trade permits, and litigation. Instead, since the New Deal, the housing finance market has been regulated primarily by government participation in the market through a panoply of institutions. The government’s participation in the market has shaped the nature of the products offered in the market. We term this form of regulation “public option” regulation. This Article presents a case study of this “public option” as a regulatory mode. It explains the public option’s rise as a governmental gap-filling response to market failures. The public option, however, took on a life of its own as the federal government undertook financial innovations that the private market had eschewed, in particular the development of the “American mortgage” — a long-term, fixed-rate fully amortizing mortgage. These innovations were trend-setting and set the tone for entire housing finance market, serving as functional regulation. The public option was never understood as a regulatory system due to its ad hoc nature. As a result, its integrity was not protected. Key parts of the system were privatized without a substitution of alternative regulatory measures. The consequence was a return to the very market failures that led to the public option in the first place, followed by another round of ad hoc public options in housing finance. This history suggests that an † Copyright © 2013 Adam J.

  • The Real Bills Views of the Founders of the Fed
    Economic Quarterly— Volume 100, Number 2— Second Quarter 2014— Pages 159–181 The Real Bills Views of the Founders of the Fed Robert L. Hetzel ilton Friedman (1982, 103) wrote: “In our book on U.S. mon- etary history, Anna Schwartz and I found it possible to use M one sentence to describe the central principle followed by the Federal Reserve System from the time it began operations in 1914 to 1952. That principle, to quote from our book, is: ‘Ifthe ‘money market’ is properly managed so as to avoid the unproductive use of credit and to assure the availability of credit for productive use, then the money stock will take care of itself.’” For Friedman, the reference to “the money stock”was synonymous with “the price level.”1 How did American monetary experience and debate in the 19th century give rise to these “real bills” views as a guide to Fed policy in the pre-World War II period? As distilled in the real bills doctrine, the founders of the Fed under- stood the Federal Reserve System as a decentralized system of reserve depositories that would allow the expansion and contraction of currency and credit based on discounting member-bank paper that originated out of productive activity. By discounting these “real bills,”the short- term loans that …nanced trade and goods in the process of production, policymakers ful…lled their responsibilities as they understood them. That is, they would provide the reserves required to accommodate the “legitimate,” nonspeculative, demands for credit.2 In so doing, they The author acknowledges helpful comments from Huberto Ennis, Motoo Haruta, Gary Richardson, Robert Sharp, Kurt Schuler, Ellis Tallman, and Alexander Wolman.

  • FDIC Banking Review, Vol. 17, No. 4
    Banking Review 2005 VOLUME 17, NO. 4 The U.S. Federal Financial Regulatory System: Restructuring Federal Bank Regulation (page 1) by Rose Marie Kushmeider Most observers of the U.S. financial regulatory system would agree that if it did not exist, no one would invent it. Most, however, would also admit that the system–despite all its faults–has served both the financial services industry and consumers well. This paper looks at arguments for and against reform in the context of changes taking place within the industry and around the world in other financial regulatory systems. Consolidation in the U.S. Banking Industry: Is the “Long, Strange Trip” About to End? (page 31) by Kenneth D. Jones and Tim Critchfield Consolidation has been an enduring trend in the U.S. banking industry for more than two decades. This article provides an overview of the structural changes that have occurred and explores the empirical research to determine how consolidtion has affected such things as asset concentration, competition, banking efficiency and profitability, shareholder value, and the availability and pricing of banking services. Finally, the authors speculate on how the current forces of change might affect the industy’s structure going forward. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect official positions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
