  • A Behavioral Finance Analysis of the Barclays-LIBOR Case
    Corporate Culture and Frauds: A Behavioral Finance Analysis of the Barclays-LIBOR Case Enrico Maria Cervellati Luca Piras Matteo Scialanga University of Bologna University of Cagliari Luiss Rome Abstract The aim of this paper is to use behavioral finance to explain the factors that brought Barclays Plc. to face a £290 million fine (about $440 million), having deliberately tried to manipulate the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). This sums to the £59.5 million fined by the British Financial Services Authority (FSA) – the highest fine imposed by this organization – and respectively £102 million and £128 million by the US Department of Justice and by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). To achieve this goal, we analyze the reports of the American and British regulatory agencies, and those of financial analysts. Even though the focus of analysis are Barclays’ actions, we compare them with what other market participants did, to give a comprehensive look on financial industry and its dominant culture. In particular, after describing LIBOR rate determination methodology and the behavior of Barclays personnel when violations occurred, we presents Barclays’ failures in organizing its own control systems and establishing a proper corporate culture. Finally, we analyze the behavior of market participants and supervisory authority in evaluating Barclays’ financial and ethical performance. 1 “Barclays had a cultural tendency to be always pushing the limit” Lord Adair Turner, Financial Services Authority Chairman Introduction The aim of this paper is to use behavioral finance to explain the factors that brought Barclays Plc. to face a £290 million fine (about $440 million), having deliberately tried to manipulate the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate).

After a military coup in 1993, M. K.O Abiola, a pro-democracy leader who was considered the victor in aborted presidential elections that year but never took office, was imprisoned in 1994. Four years later he died under suspicious circumstances. After his imprisonment, his fearless, eloquent wife, Kudirat, took over the movement’s leadership, but she was assassinated in 1996. The history is told through the eyes of their daughter Hafsat Abiola, a Harvard-educated crusader for human rights and democracy who now leads a movement to dismantle the country’s patriarchal structure.” - The New York Times “Some of the best documentaries tell inspiring stories of people overcoming the unthinkable... With an uptick in kidnappings and killings, the situation in Nigeria is looking bleak. How exactly did the country get to such a state? Joanna Lipper’s film looks at the pro-democracy movement in the corrupt African nation but also gives a helpful tutorial on Nigerian politics.” – The Washington Post “...Nigeria’s history is fleshed out in a new documentary called The Supreme Price.

    SPEECH BY CLLR MPHO PARKS TAU, EXECUTIVE MAYOR OF JOHANNESBURG, AT THE GENERAL MEETING OF MEMBERS OF THE GAUTENG CIRCLE OF THE LAW SOCIETY OF THE NOTHERN PROVINCES, SUNNYSIDE PARK HOTEL, JOHANNESBURG, 11 OCTOBER, 2014 Chairperson of the Gauteng Circle of the Law Society Mr. T. Mkhonto Our keynote speaker for today Honourable Judge V Saldanha Members of the Gauteng Circle of the Law Society Distinguished guests Ladies and Gentlemen Good Morning On behalf of the City of Johannesburg I would like to thank you for inviting us to this important function of the legal fraternity. Gatherings like these offer us an opportunity to share ideas but also to immerse ourselves in the country’s legal issues and in the latest debates in the field. Ladies and gentlemen, as a country we have come a long way since the dawn of democracy in 1994. The democratically elected government led by the African National Congress has done much to deliver on the people’s expectations since then. We now have the most liberal constitution in the world. Previously, human rights violations were an intrinsic part of the system. Now, when they occur, they are seen as a disgrace to our society and action is taken against the perpetrators. Apartheid, which left many of us with physical and mental scars, has been buried for good. As the City of Johannesburg we have also made strides in implementing national policy. We continue to transform our City, including our townships such as Soweto and Alexandra, from a city based on segregation and suspicion to a non-racial people’s city.

Barclays reassures after more borrowing By Peter Thai Larsen and Chris Giles in London Published: August 30 2007 21:17 | Last updated: August 31 2007 00:39 Barclays rushed to reassure investors and depositors on Thursday night after it was forced by what it said was a technical glitch to borrow from the Bank of England's emergency reserves for the second time in just over a week. The UK bank issued a statement after it emerged it had borrowed £1.6bn (€2.4bn) from the central bank's emergency facility on Wednesday evening. The facility, which carries a penalty rate of interest, has become the subject of intense scrutiny by investors as they search for signs of distress as a result of the recent turmoil in the capital markets. Barclays was forced to use the facility after a technical breakdown in the system used to clear and settle money-market transactions left it unable to borrow in the inzer-bank market to cover a short position in its accounts with the Bank of England.

  • Contemporary African Political Economy
    Contemporary African Political Economy Series Editor Eunice N. Sahle University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapel Hill NC, USA Aim of the Series Contemporary African Political Economy (CAPE) publishes social science research that examines the intersection of political, social, and economic processes in contemporary Africa. The series is distinguished especially by its focus on the spatial, gendered, and cultural dimensions of these processes, as well as its emphasis on promoting empirically situated research. As consultancy-driven work has emerged in the last two decades as the dom- inant model of knowledge production about African politics and economy, CAPE offers an alternate intellectual space for scholarship that challenges theoretical and empirical orthodoxies and locates political and economic processes within their structural, historical, global, and local contexts. As an interdisciplinary series, CAPE broadens the field of traditional political economy by welcoming contributions from the fields of Anthropology, Development Studies, Geography, Health, Law, Political Science, Sociol- ogy and Women’s and Gender Studies. The Series Editor and Advisory Board particularly invite submissions focusing on the following thematic areas: urban processes; democracy and citizenship; agrarian structures, food security, and global commodity chains; health, education, and develop- ment; environment and climate change; social movements; immigration and African diaspora formations; natural resources, extractive industries, and global economy; media and socio-political processes; development and globalization; and conflict, displacement, and refugees.
