Access device fraud and related financial crimes

An informant once said to us, “Man, you have to be crazy to use a gun to hold up a bank; those credit cards can get you the same thing with no risk.” Whether it be filling out fraudulent applications, stealing cards from the mail, or taking over legitimate accounts, it can be done — “You have to pick them though, watch out for the good banks; they’ve got systems to catch you if you …

THE ROLE OF CENTRAL BANKS IN FINANCIAL STABILITY How Has It Changed?

The wide-scale financial crisis of recent years has focused attention on the role of central banks in achieving and maintaining financial stability. Indeed, financial stability was the primary reason for the establishment of many of the earliest central banks. But as financial crises diminished in frequency and severity in the post-World War II period, particularly in industrial coun- tries, ce…

CRIMINAL CAPITAL

For much of the last 20 years, I have sifted through thousands of files relating to hundreds of relationships involving financial institutions in different parts of the world that have either facilitated crimes or laundered the proceeds of crimes on behalf of customers. I have tried to maintain a balanced perspective, recognising that many financial institutions are committed to the preventio…

Policy and Choice

Then should the government intervene in the economy? When do mar- kets fail? How do we craft policies that maximize social welfare? How do we design policies to minimize unintended consequences? Traditional public finance provides a powerful framework to tackle those questions. This frame- work, however, relies on an overly simple model of human behavior. This book revisits the core questions…

Fundamentals of Financial Management

Financial management continues to change at a rapid pace. Advancements are occurring not only in the theory of financial management but also in its real-world practice.

In the process of value creation, financial managers are increasingly supple…

Mathematics for Finance: An Introduction to Financial Engineering

True to its title, this book itself is an excellent financial investment. For the price of one volume it teaches two Nobel Prize winning theories, with plenty more included for good measure. How many undergraduate mathematics textbooks can boast such a claim?

The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 is now seen as one of the most significant economic events in recent world history.

It led to severe currency depreciations and an economic recession that threatened …

Markets, Money and Capital

One important premise of Hicks’s theoretical framework is the distinction between the structure of reality and the purpose-oriented arrangement of human actions. There are reasons to believe that, at an early stage of his development as an economist, Hicks came across the distinction between an ‘order of being’ and an ‘order of doing,’ as discussed by Maffeo Pantaleoni (Pantaleoni, 19…

THE FINANCE OF FOREIGN TRADE

Tins is an unconventional book practical rather than theoretical. The methods of financing foreign trade described in it may not follow exactly the ordinary accepted rules laid down by writers on economics, but they are those to which the importer and exporter have to conform when seeking financial facilities from bankers.

The first chapter is devoted to the elements of discrete probability. The discussion includes such topics as random variables, independe…
