  • Policy Brief
    Policy Brief 2009-PB-06a September 2009; revised April 2010 Unmet Duties in Managing Financial Safety Nets Edward J. Kane Abstract: Officials must show that they understand why and how the public’s confidence in the federal government’s ability to manage financial turmoil was lost. Leaders of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission must face up to their institutions’ roles in an uncomfortable sequence of events. First, procedures adopted at private firms and federal agencies for supervising securitization activity at commercial banks, investment banks, and government-sponsored enterprises inappropriately shortcut due diligence by outsourcing the monitoring and policing of the safety-net consequences of potential defects in the securitization process to private parties. Second, when the adverse consequences of this imprudent arrangement emerged, officials falsely claimed that the difficulties that short-funded, highly leveraged firms were facing in rolling over debt reflected a shortage of market liquidity rather than a shortage of economic capital at key firms. Among knowledgeable parties, this raised severe doubts about the integrity and competence of the officials in charge of rescuing the industry. Finally, the panicky way that the Treasury and President recharacterized the nature and extent of the industry’s accumulated losses in September 2008 created an extreme urgency that subsequent delays in implementation revealed to have been dangerously exaggerated. That authorities and financiers violated common-law duties of loyalty, competence, and care they owe taxpayers indicates a massive incentive breakdown in industry and government. What is needed is a thorough-going reorientation of: (1) how regulatory agencies report both on their performance and their interactions with Congress and the Administration, and (2) the contract structures and performance measures that determine how top managers and top staffers are graded and paid, not only in the financial industry but in government as well.

  • Over 350 Experts Call for Entitlement Reform Now
    Insight Over 350 Experts Call for Entitlement Reform Now APRIL 2, 2011 Download the letter April 4, 2011 The Honorable John Boehner The Honorable Harry Reid Speaker of the House Senate Majority Leader Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell House Minority Leader Senate Minority Leader Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Boehner, Minority Leader Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid, and Minority Leader McConnell: The President’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform concluded that we are at a national “moment of truth,” saying: “We cannot play games or put off hard choices any longer. Without regard to party, we have a patriotic duty to keep the promise of America to give our children and grandchildren a better life.” AMERICANACTIONFORUM.ORG To this end, the undersigned implore the Congress to include fundamental entitlement reform in its Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 2012. There can be no greater national priority than reducing the prospective explosion of federal debt. It threatens the economic prosperity of this great country and represents a betrayal of our national obligation to deliver a better future to the next generations. Military leaders have identified future federal red ink as a national security threat. The unabated sea of federal spending lies at the intersection of these budgetary, economic, and national security threats. Reforming entitlements must be at the top of the agenda for the 112th Congress. Such an act of Congressional leadership will promote job growth, support more rapid economic growth, and rekindle the American dream of upward mobility.

  • Enforcements in Financial Disputes: a Case for An
    ENFORCEMENTS IN FINANCIAL DISPUTES: A CASE FOR AN INTERBANK AWARD CLEARING FRAMEWORK Mohamed Raffa U1320615 A Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Law Supervisors Dr. Iwa Salami University of East London Law Department School of Business and Law 2 Abstract Resolving disputes resulting from high speed and fast-moving financial transactions has become an essential requirement for the stability of global financial markets as proven by previous crises. In the 2007 crisis, millions of investors ended with worthless investment agreements. The public did not believe they could pursue claims in state courts and had no faith in the operating regulatory systems. Delays in the enforcement of compensatory awards drained the concept of justice of its meaning. Bankers were bailed out instead of being made to pay for acts of recklessness, information asymmetry and mis-selling. The result was panic and a run on investment banks and the financial crisis ensued. The question is whether an arbitration process that guarantees immediate payment of arbitral awards can accelerate recovery from a crisis and alleviate the burden on state bailouts using taxpayers’ money? Empirical research show that enforceable and swift dispute resolution for financial disputes can establish certainty in the financial markets and assist in deterring imbedded acts of moral hazard within the financial sector. This in turn will impede the main ingredient for financial crises generated within the financial institutions sector and reduce the possibility of recurrences of financial crises such as that of 2007/2008.

  • Europe's Zombie Megabanks and the Differential Regulatory Arrangements That Keep Them in Play Edward Kane*+ Working Paper
    Europe’s Zombie Megabanks and the Differential Regulatory Arrangements that Keep Them In Play Edward Kane*+ Working Paper No. 64 September 15, 2017 ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the link between Kamakura Risk Information Services (KRIS) data on megabank default probabilities and credit spreads. It develops an “eye-ball” test for the extent of individual-bank “zombieness” whose grade turns on how weakly a bank’s credit spread responds to movements in KRIS default probabilities calculated over different horizons. The intuition underlying the test is that the more decapitalized a bank is allowed to become, the more creditors must be relying on someone other than stockholders to absorb the firm’s risk of default. The tests show that the recovery of European megabanks from the 2008-09 crisis has been incomplete. Creditors of Europe’s giant banks still seem to be relying on implicit guarantees. In particular, credit spreads on the bonds of these banks appear to be relatively insensitive to the level of the issuer’s longer-term probabilities of default. Coupled with the high pairwise correlation that KRIS default probabilities show between major US and European banks, this finding suggests that creditors do not expect the EU’s bail-in requirements to play much of a role in resolving megabank insolvencies during the next crisis. * Professor of Finance at Boston College and NBER research associate. + We thank: (1) the Institute for New Economic Thinking for financial support, (2) Donald van Deventer for generously granting me access to the KRIS database that is central to this research, and (3) Robert Dickler (especially), Thomas Ferguson, Stephen Buser, George von Furstenburg, and Larry Wall for valuable criticism of earlier versions of this paper.
