  • The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ Aims to Rally the Business Community to Advance Diversity & Inclusion Within
    The CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ aims to rally the business community to advance diversity & inclusion within the workplace by working collectively across organizations and sectors. It outlines a specific set of actions the undersigned companies will take to cultivate a trusting environment where all ideas are welcomed and employees feel comfortable and empowered to discuss diversity & inclusion. All the signatories serve as leaders of their companies and have committed to implementing the following pledge within their workplaces. Where companies have already implemented one or several of the commitments, the undersigned commit to support other companies in doing the same. The persistent inequities across our country underscore our urgent, national need to address and alleviate racial, ethnic and other tensions and to promote diversity within our communities. As leaders of some of America’s largest corporations, we manage thousands of employees and play a critical role in ensuring that inclusion is core to our workplace culture and that our businesses are representative of the communities we serve. Moreover, we know that diversity is good for the economy; it improves corporate performance, drives growth and enhances employee engagement. Simply put, organizations with diverse teams perform better. We recognize that diversity & inclusion are multifaceted issues and that we need to tackle these subjects holistically to better engage and support all underrepresented groups within business. To do this, we believe we also need to address honestly and head-on the concerns and needs of our diverse employees and increase equity for all, including Blacks, Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, LGBTQ, disabled, veterans and women.

  • New Approach to the Regulation of Trading Across Securities Markets, A
    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VoLuME 71 DECEMBER 1996 - NUM-BER 6 A NEW APPROACH TO THE REGULATION OF TRADING ACROSS SECURITIES MARKETS YAKOV AMImHU* HAIM IVIENDELSON** In this Article, ProfessorsAmihud and Mendelson propose that a securities issuer should have the exclusive right to determine in which markets its securities will be traded, in contrast to the current regulatoryscheme under which markets may uni- laterally enable trading in securities without issuer consent Professors Amihud and Mendelson demonstrate that the tradingregime of a security affects its liquidity, and consequently its value, and that multinmarket tradingby some securitiesholders may produce negative externalities that harm securities holders collectively. Under the current scheme; some markets compete for orderflow from individuals by low- eringstandards, thereby creatingthe need for regulatoryoversight. A rule requiring issuer consent would protect the liquidity interests of issuers and of securitieshold- ers as a group. ProfessorsAmihud and Mendelson addresstie treatment of deriva- tive securities under their scheme, proposing a fair use test that would balance the issuer's liquidity interest against the public's right to use price information freely. The authors suggest that under their proposed rule, markets will compete to attract securities issuers by implementing and enforcing value-maximizing trading rules, thereby providing a market-based solution to market regulation. * Professor and Yamaichi Faculty Fellow, Stern School of Business, New York Univer- sity.

  • WE STAND for DEMOCRACY. a Government of the People, by the People
    A14 EZ RE the washington post . wednesday, april 14, 2021 EZ RE A15 ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT WE STAND FOR DEMOCRACY. A Government of the people, by the people. A beautifully American ideal, but a reality denied to many for much of this nation’s history. As Americans, we know that in our democracy we should not expect to agree on everything. However, regardless of our political affiliations, we believe the very foundation of our electoral process rests upon the ability of each of us to cast our ballots for the candidates of our choice. For American democracy to work for any of us, we must ensure the right to vote for all of us. We all should feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and to oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot. Voting is the lifeblood of our democracy and we call upon all Americans to join us in taking a nonpartisan stand for this most basic and fundamental right of all Americans.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) responded by proposing rule 15~2-10,a filing requirement for automated trading and information systems.' The proposed rule was the first direct regulatory action aimed specifically at automated trading markets. Since then, the growth in automated trade execution systems on a worldwide basis has been explosive. In the United States alone, there are roughly twenty such mechanisms, including completely automated exchanges, exchange facil- ities with automated trade execution components, and proprietary systems not currently regulated as exchanges.* Growth in regulatory initiatives and analysis with respect to this new form of financial market structure quickly followed. These efforts can be classified in four general ways. There are the obvious hardware and software concerns that are generic in the oversight of any computerized system.
