Beskrivning

This edited conference volume provides a survey of scholarly and professional thinking about the state of financial innovations and innovators and their diffusion across national boundaries, as well as the welfare-enhancing implications for firms and nation-states. Like the engineering and practice of financial innovation itself, "Financial Innovation and the Welfare of Nations" is interdisciplinary and international in scope. Leading academics and professionals in economics, finance, strategic management, and law offer their latest thinking on: financial innovations and the dynamics of emerging capital markets; first-mover advantages and disadvantages with financial innovations; modelling banking deregulation and systemic risk; identifying "blue-chip" investments in "frontier" equity markets; piercing the "sovereign ceiling" with cross-border securitization; credit derivatives and economic restructuring; and insurance derivatives and the convergence of the banking and insurance industry.

Recensioner i media

Praise for Financial Innovations and the Welfare of Nations 'In an increasingly connected world financial flows and innovation have taken center stage. For anyone who wants to understand how this new international arrangement affects one's life, business, and nation, this book is a must read.' Walter B. Wriston, Former CEO, Citigroup 'This is a first-rate conference volume that covers all of the salient dimensions of innovation in modern financial markets. For innovations to contribute to the System in a durable way, they must be perceived as value-adding for both intermediaries and end-users, and the innovative structures must carry acceptable systemic risks. The essays in this collection provide a compelling overview of the innovation process and its impact on the financial dynamics of the global economy.' Ingo Walter, Charles Simon Chair in Applied Financial Economics and Director, New York University Solomon Center
