Regulating Banks through Market Discipline: A Survey of the Issues

Abstract.  The interest in the application of market discipline to regulate the financial industry has boomed recently due to the proposed New Capital Accord. This paper reviews the potential role market discipline can play in financial regulation. We start with a discussion of the rationale for financial regulation and with a brief history of the current regulatory mechanisms. Next, a definition of market discipline as a regulatory mechanism is advanced. We evaluate the disciplining power various market participants have. Finally, we argue that more external risk management disclosure is a condition sine qua non in order to enable market discipline as a regulatory mechanism. In this respect, the Basle Committee has taken the right approach.

Crime and punishment: the role of student body characteristics in schools’ disciplinary behaviours

Discretion in schools’ discipline choices can provide an efficient and effective misconduct management structure, but could lead to discipline based on unrelated factors. Consequently, schools’ disciplinary decisions can significantly limit students’ access to education by removing students from familiar learning environments. We investigate schools’ disciplinary decisions for serious misconducts and show that punishments are more severe in schools that do not report misconducts to local law enforcement agencies. Moreover, we show that schools that report fewer misconducts to law enforcement impose more severe punishments when the student body is characterized as having a higher proportion of minority students, lower socioeconomic status students and a higher proportion of students who are below the 15th percentile of standardized test scores. These results suggest that between-school punishment differentials are associated with student body traits.     

The Development and Positioning of Business Related University Tourism Education

Abstract

The teaching of tourism at a higher education level has become well established in British universities, but in the UK, as elsewhere in the world, the place of tourism studies within the academic curricula remains uncertain. The paper considers the diversity and complexities of tourism studies through a categorisation of journal articles, and through an investigation of the underlying debates that have influenced the design of academic curricula in the UK. The paper concludes that tourism, at least at present, should not be regarded as discipline but as a field and that the most common approach in the UK has been to emphasise the business studies subjects. The University of Northumbria's established undergraduate travel and tourism management course is presented as a case study of this approach to the subject field.     

面向国土资源的学科化信息集成服务模式探讨

学科化信息集成服务是图书馆一种新的服务模式和服务机制。国土资源科研信息内容的专业性、信息需求的前沿性、信息获取方式的自助性等特点,决定了面向国土资源开展学科化信息集成服务具有现实意义。面向国土资源的学科化信息集成服务,应以用户和信息需求为中心,加强学科资源建设与规划;以信息利用为目标,构建学科化信息集成服务平台;以用户及其科研过程为指导,加强研究课题与学科建设的有机联系;同时,加强国土资源管理机制建设,确保学科化信息集成服务的针对性和时效性。     

中国司法管理学学科发展的战略思考

作为一门在司法改革过程中诞生出来的新学科,中国司法管理学在确立自身独立学科地位后,应针对目前我国司法管理研究知识管理上存在的问题,从学科发展战略的高度,通过整合研究资源、成立研究机构、创办刊物、培养人才、加强研究司法管理研究成果的利用等举措,充分提高学科知识利用效率,促进学科的进一步发展.     

高校图书馆“学科馆员制度”完善之我见

随着网络信息技术的发展和知识载体的多样化,高校图书馆的馆藏概念得到了拓展,使海量信息与个人需求之间的矛盾日渐突出。高校图书馆推行"学科馆员制度",对缓解这一矛盾将起到一定作用。本文就"学科馆员制度"的产生背景、学科馆员的工作职责、学科馆员的服务内容和方法、完善"学科馆员制度"的措施等几方面进行了探讨。     

Political connections and depositor discipline

We examine the effects of political connections on depositor discipline in a sample of Turkish banks. Banks with former members of parliament at the helm enjoy reduced depositor discipline, especially if the former politician's party is currently in power – less so if the former politician served as a minister. Banks with structural problems are more likely to appoint former politicians, but our results remain robust after controlling for selection effects. Ministers may reduce depositor discipline less because they signal severe problems and because the additional government deposits they bring to the bank during their term tend to leave with them.     

Does Subordinated Debt Play a Role for Market Discipline?

This paper examines the link between the issuance of subordinated debt by commercial banks and market discipline. Using cross-sectional and time-series data from 2002 to 2007, we empirically examine the relationship between banks' risk level and their decisions to issue subordinated debts in Taiwan. In particular, we test the hypothesis that the commercial banks with low risk levels prefer to issue subordinated debts more than high-risk banks do, and we reject the hypothesis. We conclude that the application of subordinated debt is not a mature channel for providing market discipline for commercial banks in Taiwan. We offer potential reasons for this finding and discuss the policy implications of our findings.
