NYU White Papers on Restoring Financial Stability
I saw this in an ad on Financial Times. A number of business school professors from New York University wrote 18 white papers on the causes of and policy recommendations for the financial crisis. They will be published into a book later this year.
"In 18 short, targeted and definitive White Papers — each tracing the core of the problem, the policy alternatives, and a specific course of action — 32 academics, combining a solid understanding of financial economics with the practice of modern finance, suggest solutions, in the public interest, to the central issues of today's financial crisis."
The publisher put the executive summaries of all the white papers into a PDF document as a free download. I find the topics of those white papers quite interesting. They include:
- Mortgage originations and securitization
- Rating agencies
- Government sponsored enterprises
- Hedge funds
- Corporate governance
- Management compensation
- Fair value accounting
- Short selling
- Role of the Fed
- The bailout
