European financial system

The European financial landscape has changed dramatically over the last couple of years and the pace of change appears to have moved into a higher gear with the establishment of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). However, although EMU and the introduction of the euro have played a pivotal role in the changes the European financial system has been undergoing, a host of other factors can be ident…

The Fundamental Principles of Financial Regulation

There is a widespread view that the Credit Crunch of 2007-9 was, in part, a result of insufficient reach of regulation and that a solution is to take existing regulation and spread it more comprehensively across more institutions and jurisdictions. That would be an incorrect diagnosis. At the heart of the crisis were highly regu- lated institutions in regulated jurisdictions. The crisis has inv…

BUSINESS LAW

A student entering any field of business must have at least a passing understanding of business law in order to function in the real world.

With a Little Help

It turns out the future doesn't really care about space travel. It used to, or at least when I was growing up all the science fiction I read promised that space travel would someday be commonplace. That was what made it the future: we would all be so bored with flying to other planets that we wouldn't even really talk about it anymore, it would just become a dull backdrop to our daily lives. Th…

ECONOMICS

Alone Together - Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other

Thirty years ago, when I joined the faculty at MIT to study computer culture, the world re- tained a certain innocence. Children played tic-tac-toe with their electronic toys, video game missiles took on invading asteroids, and “intelligent” programs could hold up their end of a serious chess match. The first home computers were being bought by people called hobby- ists. The people who boug…

SCIENCE IN ARCADY

These essays deal for the most part with Science in Arcady. 'Tis my native country: for I am not of those who 'praise the busy town.' On the contrary, in the words of the great poet who has just departed to join Milton and Shelley in a place of high collateral glory, I 'love to rail against it still,' with a naturalist's bitterness. For the town is always dead and lifeless. There are who admire…

The Computer Science of TEX and L ATEX

For L ATEX use the ‘Not so short introduction to L ATEX’ by Oetiker et al. For further reading and future reference, it is highly recommended that you get ‘Guide to L ATEX’ by Kopka and Daly [15]. The original reference is the book by Lamport [16]. While it is a fine book, it has not kept up with developments around L ATEX, such as contributed graphics and other packages. A book that d…

Risk Management: The Current Financial Crisis, Lessons Learned and Future Imp…

Many people believe that excessive risk taking at large financial firms was an important cause of the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and that preventing another crisis requires improving risk-management systems at such institutions. One way to do this would be to use board oversight liability to hold directors personally liable for failing to properly monitor the risks that their firms are run…

Market Risk and Model Risk For a Financial Institution Writing Options

Trading in derivatives involves heavy use of quantitative models for valuation and risk management. These models are necessarily imperfect, and when options are involved, the models require a volatility input that must be forecasted, subject to error. This creates “model risk” to which nearly all participants in derivatives markets are exposed. In this paper, we conduct an empirical sim…

I began business life as an entrepreneur in business in Hong Kong. I ran trade exhibitions, imported coffee from Kenya, and started and operated two restaurants, one of which (unusually for Hong Kong) served vegetarian food. These businesses were profitable, but I would have saved myself a great deal of stress, and done better if I had used some business intelligence informed by statistics to i…
