The purpose of The Ethical Professor is to provide a road map to
some of the ethical dilemmas that doctoral students and newer
faculty members are likely to face as they enter a career in
academia (the Academy). Academic career paths appear to be quite
standard, transparent, and achievable with dedicated and hard work.
Argued in this book, however, is that the road map to a successful
academic career is not so easy. There are ethical pitfalls along
the way, starting with entry into academia as a new PhD student.
These ethical dilemmas remain equally opaque as faculty progress in
their careers. The ethical pitfalls that plague each of the steps
along the academic career path are often not visible to doctoral
students and young faculty members; nor are they well prepared to
spot them. Ethical issues are seldom discussed and little training
is provided on how to spot and handle these potential road blocks
to a successful career in the academy. Based on extant research and
collective years of academic experience, The Ethical Professor
seeks to shorten the learning curve around common ethical pitfalls
and issues by defining them, sharing research and experiences about
them, and offering a discussion framework for continued learning
and reflection. This innovative new volume will be key reading for
doctoral students and junior faculty members in social science
departments in colleges and universities, as well as managers
undertaking an MBA. Due to the increasing complexity of managing
academic institutions, more seasoned professors, administrators,
and college deans and presidents, will also benefit from the
research presented here.
The central question addressed in Financial Innovations and the
Welfare of Nations is how the transfer of financial innovations
from developed to developing economies can nurture the dynamics of
emerging capital markets. National capital markets can be
positioned along a continuum ranging from embryonic to mature and
emerged markets according to a decreasing "national cost of
capital" criterion. In the introductory chapter Laurent Jacque
argues that newly emerging countries are handicapped by a high cost
of capital due to "incomplete" and inefficient financial markets.
As capital markets graduate to higher level of "emergedness", their
national firms avail themselves of a lower cost of capital that
makes them more competitive in the global economy and spurs
economic growth. Skillful transfer of financial innovations to
emerging markets often encourages the deregulation of the country's
financial services sector. This results into new conduits for a
more efficient capital allocation process such as commercial paper,
securitized consumer finance and other disintermediated modes of
financing which out-compete traditional financial intermediaries
(mostly commercial banks), reduce households' cost of living and
conjointly fuel the dynamics of emerging markets. Our response to
the central question of how the transfer of financial innovations
can enhance the Wealth of Nations is to show that it reduces the
cost of capital while not unduly increasing systemic risk. Part I
examines the relationship between financial innovations and
systemic risk of the international financial system.
