Author Description

—International— Financial Market Regulation Edited by Benn Steil Regulation is one of the biggest issues facing banks, securities houses and financial markets worldwide. There have been enormous developments in regulation in the EC, the US and internationally, and many of these are ongoing. In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s ‘Market 2000’ report is again calling widespread attention to market structure issues and the possibility of further regulatory reform. This book contains the first major critical analysis of the ‘Market 2000’ report. It provides timely and incisive analysis of international regulatory developments by economists who are intimately familiar with the major changes in train. Their analysis will not only continue to be relevant for years after publication, but should actually serve to mould contemporary debate on policy.
