Implications of superhero metaphors for the issue of banking powers

Article Abstract:

Financial services providers have been able to circumvent functional and geographical constraints by initiating aggressive cross-industry and interstate mergers and taking advantage of technological advances, particularly in the areas of information and contracting. These strategies are allowing nonbank firms such as federally chartered thrift institutions to assume extraordinary bank powers, a fact which exerts tremendous pressure on both banking regulators and the banking industry. Banking institutions are therefore advised to lobby lawmakers to plug the loopholes that benefit their nonbank competitors.

Three paradigms for the role of capitalization requirements in insured financial institutions

Article Abstract:

The conventional models of deposit insurance risk that regard risk as external are discredited in favor of a model that considers risk as endogenous, stresses the importance of incentive conflict and emphasizes the need for loss-control activity optimization. The suggested model also regards governmental monitoring and supervision of finance transactions as capable of privatization without loss of efficiency.
