Market Forces Or International Institutions? the Under-Emphasized Role of Ifis in Domestic Bank Regulatory Adoption
Market Forces or International Institutions? The Under-Emphasized Role of IFIs in Domestic Bank Regulatory Adoption Meredith Wilf∗ January 10, 2017 For discussion at The Political Economy of International Organizations (PEIO) 2017 conference January 12-14, 2017 Abstract The 1988 Basel Capital Accord coordinated an increase in twelve signatory countries’ bank regulatory stringency. By 2001, in the absence of legal obligation to do so, more than 100 non-signatories also adopted the accord’s terms. Why? While existing explanations argue that countries adopted to prevent a reputation as weakly regulated, this is inconsistent with limited public information about adoption status. I argue instead that international organizations played a systematic role in broad adoption. Using an original dataset that codes Basel I status for 167 countries over the period 1988 to 2015, I analyze those factors that correlate with country adoption of Basel I. I find that International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs are robustly correlated and market forces hold little explanatory power. Further, IMF program effects are strongest immediately following 1997, the year that Basel I was embedded in new international best practices that entailed pub- lic reporting by the IMF. For an important bank regulation where adoption can be meaningfully compared across countries, this paper shows that the conventional understanding overstates the role of market forces and understates the role of international organizations. Further, this case illustrates how, even without a strong hegemonic preference for worldwide adoption, international agreements may evolve in unintended ways. ∗Meredith Wilf ([email protected]) is Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) at University of Pittsburgh ([email protected]). -

This is a time of nuclear threat; a time of increasing inequality, populism, nationalism, and authoritarianism; a time when a record number of people—over 68 million in 2017—have been driven from their homes; a time when artificial intelligence is on the cusp of changing our world forever. -

On the Persistence of Labor Force Participation Rates by Gender: Evidence from OECD Countries
On the Persistence of Labor Force Participation Rates by Gender: Evidence from OECD Countries Hervé Queneau* Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne/IDHE-CNRS and Amit Sen‡ Xavier University This Version: December 2013 (Preliminary) Abstract We present empirical evidence regarding differences in the time series properties of labour force participation rates across gender for a group of twelve OECD countries. Our results indicate that there are gender differences in the dynamics of labor force participation rates across countries. Specifically, the female labor force participation rates are relatively more persistent in seven countries (Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, The Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain), and the male labour force participation rate is more persistent in four countries (Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the U.S.).

Introduction The use of the unemployment rate to ascertain the strength or state of the labour market has recently been brought into question. Murphy and Topel (1997) and Krugman (2004), for instance, have argued that there has been a decrease in the labour force participation rates in the United States that point to a weakening of its labour market. -

Detecting Exchange Rate Contagion in Asian Exchange Rate Markets Using Asymmetric DDC-GARCH and R-Vine Copulas
Munich Personal RePEc Archive Detecting exchange rate contagion in Asian exchange rate markets using asymmetric DDC-GARCH and R-vine copulas Gomez-Gonzalez, Jose and Rojas-Espinosa, Wilmer Universidad de La Sabana, Colombia, Universidad Externado, Colombia 21 August 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/96253/ MPRA Paper No. 96253, posted 02 Oct 2019 12:01 UTC Detecting exchange rate contagion in Asian exchange rate markets using asymmetric DDC-GARCH and R-vine copulas Jose E. Gomez-Gonzalez1 Wilmer Rojas-Espinosa2 Abstract This study uses asymmetric DCC-GARCH models and copula functions for studying exchange rate contagion in a group of twelve Asia-Pacific countries. Using daily data between November 1991 and March 2017, shows that extreme market movements are mainly associated with the high degree of interdependence registered by countries in this region. The evidence of contagion is scarce. Asymmetries do not appear to be important. Specifically, currency co-movements are statistically identical during times of extreme market appreciation and depreciation, indicating that phenomena such as the fear of “appreciation” do not appear to be relevant in the region’s foreign exchange markets. Keywords: Exchange rate contagion; Asian financial crisis; Copula functions; DCC-GARCH models. JEL Classification: C32; C51; E42. 1. Introduction This paper studies exchange rate contagion in Asia-Pacific markets between 1991 and 2017 following an R-vine copula approach.3 As in 1 Corresponding author.
