The 2007-08 financial crisis has posed substantial challenges for
bankers, economists and regulators: was it preventable, and how can
such crises be avoided in future? This book addresses these
questions. The Financial Crisis and the Regulation of Finance
includes a comprehensive overview of the crisis and reviews the
theory and practice of regulation in the UK and worldwide. The
contributors - all international experts on financial markets and
regulation - provide perspectives and analysis on macro-prudential
regulation, the regulation of financial firms, and the role of
shareholders and disclosure. This rigorous book will be of great
interest to all those with an interest in banking and finance
including academics, professionals, bankers, regulators, advisors
and civil servants. Students on banking and finance courses will
also find this clear and compact resource invaluable. Contributors:

This book examines the extent to which spatial economic convergence
has taken place in the European Union and analyses the
effectiveness of regional policy. The authors examine the differing
economic features of the European regions and provide an
institutional background to regional policy at both the national
and Union level. Theories of economic growth are discussed and
assessed in terms of the relative performance of regional economies
in Europe. The authors then analyse the extent to which economic
convergence, for example in terms of income and employment, has
materialized across regions using a variety of techniques including
mean reversion and time varying parameter procedures. The analysis
is both at the level of the entire EU area and at more disaggregate
levels that look at specific regions of the Union and at specific
sectors. The book offers an assessment of some of the key regional
policy instruments used and pays particular attention to the role
of infrastructure investment as a tool for enhancing regional
growth. It also considers the extent to which some non-regional
specific policies impact upon the development of regional economies
and explores the implications of closer monetary ties between
member states. This book will be of interest to academics and
policymakers concerned with regional science, European studies and
macroeconomics.
This highly topical book examines the development and future
prospects for economic and monetary union in Europe. European
Monetary Integration examines the background to economic and
monetary union from a historical perspective that distinguishes
between national and supranational currency areas, and an optimal
currency area theory. The gradualist transition process is also
considered. The authors, leading academics from five European
countries, consider the principal economic policies to be followed
in achieving economic and monetary union. The role of the European
central banks and monetary policy is examined, along with fiscal
policy in monetary union and the operation and policies of the
labour markets. The authors discuss the economic relationships
between the euro area and other European economies including the
transition and accession economies of Eastern Europe.
