The Handbook of Finance and Development provides a thorough
assessment of the existing research on the relationship between the
financial system and economic growth. Containing chapters on
theory, empirical work and historic accounts, this is the first
Handbook to provide a comprehensive overview of the fields of
finance and development. As leading researchers in the field the
contributors analyse the emergence of, and innovations in,
financial instruments, markets, and intermediaries, providing
commentary on how these components of financial systems shape
resource allocation, poverty, income inequality and aggregate
economic growth. They also explore the causes and consequences of
financial fragility, the historic development of financial systems
and the regulatory and supervisory underpinnings of financial
sector development. Further chapters examine financial development
at both the aggregate and country levels and assess the degree to
which individuals and firms can access financial services. Recent
literature on the financial inclusion of households and enterprises
is also analysed. The Handbook will be of great value to scholars
and researchers who are interested in the fields of finance,
development and financial inclusion. Throughout the chapters the
contributors highlight how insights drawn from research inform
policy debates on the topics at hand making this work a useful
resource for policy makers and regulators. Contributors include: F.

This research review selects fifty influential articles published
over the past four decades on the regulation and governance of
financial institutions. Some contribute by making theoretical
advances that enhance the conceptual framework through which
economists view financial institutions, and others contribute by
assembling data and evaluating the predictions of these different
models. The papers provide a foundation for understanding and
conducting additional research into the regulation and governance
of financial institutions.
This two-volume collection brings together major contributions to
the study of finance and growth. It includes conceptual and
empirical papers that use a range of methodologies to discover the
connections between financial systems - including financial
contracts, markets, and intermediaries - and the functioning of the
economy - including economic growth, entrepreneurship,
technological innovation, poverty alleviation, the distribution of
income, and the structure and volatility of economies. It also
discusses contributions to the study of the legal, political,
institutional, social capital and policy determinants of financial
development. With an original introduction by the editors, this
collection is an important resource for students, academics and
practitioners. 48 articles, dating from 1979 to 2013 Contributors
include: D. Acemoglu, P. Aghion, T. Beck, S. Haber, R. King, R. La
Porta, V. Maksimovic, R. Rajan, A. Shleifer, P. Strahan, R.

This book presents an Assessment of Physical Sciences and
Engineering Advances in Life Sciences and Oncology (APHELION) by a
panel of experts. It covers the status and trends of applying
physical sciences and engineering principles to oncology research
in leading laboratories and organizations in Europe and Asia. The
book elaborates on the six topics identified by the panel that have
the greatest potential to advance understanding and treatment of
cancer, each covered by a chapter in the book. The study was
sponsored by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National
Institute of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF)
and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering
at the NIH in the US under a cooperative agreement with the World
Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC).
This issue of Hematology/Oncology Clinics, guest edited by Drs.
Ronald Hoffman, Ross Levine, John Mascarenhas, and Raajit Rampal,
is dedicated to Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. This issue is one of
six selected each year by the series consulting editors, Drs.
George P. Canellos and Edward J. Benz. Topics in this issue
include-but are not limited to- Overview of pathophysiology and
potential drug targets, The role of the megakaryocyte, Epigenetics,
Genetics, Novel technologies for understanding MPN biology,
Important pathology considerations, Current Clinical
investigations, Quality of life, Application of stem cell therapy,
Immunotherapy approaches, Clinical unmet needs in ET/PV,
Accelerated and blast phase MPNs, Epidemiology, Thrombotic and
hemorrhagic complications, Murine modeling, The microenvironment in
MPNs, MDS/MPN overlap syndrome, and Advancing effective clinical
trial designs.
Topics include: Clinical Predictors of Outcome in MPNs; Molecular
pathogenesis of MPNs; Disordered signaling in MPNs; Role of
TET2/ASXL1 in MPN Pathogenesis; Pathogenesis and treatment of
systemic mastocytosis; Role of additional novel therapies in MPNs;
Role of novel mutations in MPN pathogenesis and outcome; Role of
JAK inhibitors in MPN treatment; Animal Models of MPNs; and Role of
Germline Genetic Factors in MPN Pathogenesis.
Strength tests were made of a number of 24S-T and Alclad 75S-T
aluminum-alloy shear webs to determine the effect of rivet or bolt
holes on the shear strength. Data were obtained for webs which
approached a condition of pure shear stress as well as for webs
with well-developed diagonal tension. The rivet factor, (pitch
minus diameter) divided by pitch, was varied from approximately
0.81 to 0.62. These tests indicated that the shear stresses on the
gross section were nearly constant for all values of the rivet
factor investigated if the other properties of the web were not
changed.
How the unaccountable, unmonitorable, and unchecked actions of
regulators precipitated the global financial crisis; and how to
reform the system. The recent financial crisis was an accident, a
"perfect storm" fueled by an unforeseeable confluence of events
that unfortunately combined to bring down the global financial
systems. Or at least this is the story told and retold by a chorus
of luminaries that includes Timothy Geithner, Henry Paulson, Robert
Rubin, Ben Bernanke, and Alan Greenspan. In Guardians of Finance,
economists James Barth, Gerard Caprio, and Ross Levine argue that
the financial meltdown of 2007 to 2009 was no accident; it was
negligent homicide. They show that senior regulatory officials
around the world knew or should have known that their policies were
destabilizing the global financial system and yet chose not to act
until the crisis had fully emerged. Barth, Caprio, and Levine
propose a reform to counter this systemic failure: the
establishment of a "Sentinel" to provide an informed, expert, and
independent assessment of financial regulation. Its sole power
would be to demand information and to evaluate it from the
perspective of the public-rather than that of the financial
industry, the regulators, or politicians.
This volume assembles and presents a new database on bank
regulation in over 150 countries (included also on CD). It offers
the first comprehensive cross-country assessment of the impact of
bank regulation on the operation of banks, and assesses the
validity of the Basel Committee's influential approach to bank
regulation. The treatment also provides an empirical evaluation of
the historic debate about the proper role of government in the
economy by studying bank regulation and analyzes the role of
politics in determining regulatory approaches to banking. The data
also indicate that restrictions on the entry of new banks,
government ownership of banks, and restrictions on bank activities
hurt banking system performance. The authors find that domestic
political factors shape both regulations and their effectiveness.
