The recent financial crisis has stimulated much debate on the
governance of financial institutions, as well as research on the
effects of governance arrangements on risk-taking, performance and
financial institutions more generally. Furthermore, researchers are
asking how regulation, legislation, politics and other factors
influence the governance of financial institutions and their
behavior in different dimensions. The specially commissioned
contributions featured in this timely Handbook confront these
complex issues. The contributors - top international scholars from
finance, law and business - explore the role of governance, both
internal and external, in explaining risk-taking and other aspects
of the behavior of financial institutions. Additionally, they
discuss market and policy features affecting objectives and quality
of governance. The chapters provide in-depth analysis of factors
such as: ownership, efficiency and stability; market discipline;
compensation and performance; social responsibility; and governance
in non-bank financial institutions. Only through this kind of
rigorous examination can one hope to implement the financial
reforms necessary and sufficient to reduce the likelihood and
severity of future crises. Bringing the reader to the frontier of
research on governance of financial institutions, this volume is
sure to inspire future research in scholars and students of
financial institutions, governance and banking. Practitioners in
financial institutions and public regulatory and supervisory
authorities will also find much of value and insight in this book.
