The Regulation and Supervision of Banks: Regulation and Efficiency in Banking (The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics Series)

‘As the custodians of the UK’s new single financial services regulator we at the FSA are keen to learn from the academic world. Indeed, we would like to encourage more academic research on the subject of financial regulation. So we welcome the increasing breadth and depth of work in this area, as reflected in these useful and thought provoking volumes.’- Howard Davies, Financial Services Authority, London, UKThis major four-volume collection will prove invaluable for lecturers, researchers and practitioners. The first volume covers the case for and against banking regulation, touching upon the design of an ‘optimal’ regulatory framework. The second is concerned with deposit insurance, examining the arguments for and against its adoption and the problems encountered in its implementation. The material in the third volume deals with the vexed issue of capital adequacy assessment, including the roles played by capital and capital regulation and the G10 agreement. The final volume looks at the links between regulation and banking efficiency.Volume I 1 84064 573 3 The Case For and Against Banking Regulation 672 pp $220.00Volume II 1 84064 574 1 Deposit Insurance 672 pp $205.00Volume III 1 84064 575 X The Regulation of Bank Capital 688 pp $220.00Volume IV 1 84064 576 8 Regulation and Efficiency in Banking 584 pp $195.00
