Springer Texts in Business and Economics

After having considered the core activities of providing loans and accepting deposits in the first volume, the second volume of this textbook analyses banks in its wider economic context, that is in relationship with each other and other competitors and stakeholders. After studying the competition between banks and how this affects bank behaviour, this volume assesses how banks are managed internally; rather than taking the balance sheet of banks as given, it explores how an optimal balance sheet might look like, how employees are remunerated and how they are acting when representing the bank. The important topic of how bank failures can spread, systemic risk, is also considered, alongside an evaluation of the effectiveness of banking regulation. The final part considers the impact that banks have on the wider economy and how their decisions can affect macroeconomic outcomes.

Commercial Banking in Context

Theoretical Foundations of Commercial Banking - Vol.2

The first volume of this book discusses in detail the role of banks in the economy before focussing on the provision of loans and their financing through deposits. These core activities by banks are analysed in detail, including how banks deal with strategic default, what role collateral plays in the lending process, how important relationship banking is to banks and borrowers, amongst many other topics. The implications for banks of financing long-term loans with short-term deposits are considered alongside remedies to overcome the resulting problems of this are explored. With deposits also being important for depositors as a means of making payments for goods and services, such account services are also covered in this volume.

Cybersecurity has become a contractual issue, yet many legal professionals are expected to deal with it without a technical background. Cybersecurity Contracts Essentials provides the essential knowledge needed to understand the foundations of the field, interpret technical issues and assess their legal and commercial consequences. Covering software security, identity management, communications, security testing and managed security services, it explains how cybersecurity obligations, risks and responsibilities are translated into contracts. Written for lawyers and other legal professionals, the book offers a practical basis from which readers can develop their own informed understanding of cybersecurity and work more confidently with technical specialists, suppliers and clients. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Cyber Law online service.

Cybersecurity Contracts Essentials

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

This book examines algorithmic pricing, defined as the use of algorithms to determine prices, and its implications for competition. The impact of algorithmic pricing on competitive markets is analysed systematically through three complementary approaches: theoretical, empirical, and simulation-based.The book begins by situating algorithmic pricing within the broader context of product pricing and presents an empirical analysis of the factors driving firms to adopt these technologies. It then explores the theory of algorithmic collusion, using computer simulations to investigate how different learning mechanisms influence collusive outcomes. Drawing on real-world data from online retail markets, the book further examines the prevalence and competitive effects of algorithmic pricing in practice. Finally, it considers the broader implications of algorithmic pricing for competition law and policy.Dr Cassey Lee is a Principal Fellow and Coordinator of the Regional Economic Studies Programme at the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore. He is also an Honorary Professor at the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Malaya, Malaysia. Prior to joining ISEAS, Dr Lee held academic appointments at the University of Wollongong, Nottingham University Business School (Malaysia) and University of Malaya.

Algorithmic Pricing and Market Competition

The Future of Private Law

This open access book explores the relationship between consumer law and global value chains (GVCs). Conceptually rigorous, it analyses EU approaches to regulation and to consumer policy oriented to safety, sustainability and market regulation. In so doing, it throws the disconnect between GVCs and consumer law into sharp relief. In response, the author argues that GVCs are a plausible venue for reconsidering consumers as regulatory actors in the global economy. This would enable both consumer protection and EU's decentralised social ordering (based on private regulation) to be accommodated. Innovative and thought-provoking, this is an important contribution to debates on EU consumer law. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Rethinking Consumers in Global Production

Connecting Value Chains

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic future "Essential reading for anyone who's outraged and ready to do something about it." --Lina Khan, former chair, Federal Trade CommissionIn a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; grocer Anthony Pena, who turned his frustrations with big box stores into a new grocers movement; and Doha Mekki, a trailblazing lawyer who, with her team, developed the first successful criminal wage-fixing case for the Department of Justice; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism. Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

Anti-Monopoly

What works-and what doesn't-when companies try to do goodCan companies really be "socially responsible"-and should they try? This debate is newly urgent as consumers, employees, and investors push companies to take a stand on everything from climate change to inequality. In this lively and clear-eyed book, economist Ray Fisman cuts through the rhetoric around "doing well by doing good" to show what actually changes corporate behavior and what doesn't-and what corporations should really do if they have society's interests at heart. He will answer questions many of us may be asking:¿ Will consumers pay more for eco-friendly products? ¿ Will employees work harder if they're paid a living wage? ¿ Do ESG (environmental, social, and governance) funds make a difference? ¿ Should you pay more for fair-trade coffee at your local café? (Yes, you should.)Drawing on decades of evidence, Fisman examines which approaches to corporate responsibility make a genuine difference-and which are cheap talk, or worse. The result is a practical framework for understanding the tradeoffs between profit and purpose, recognizing which efforts to do good are likely to succeed, and how your choices can push companies to do better.
