Beschreibung:
The financial systems of developed countries are evolving at a faster rate than ever before in the direction of market solutions to all problems, while many securities markets have become global in scope. The thirteen essays in this volume consist of papers read by leading European academics in the fields of banking and finance. The first four chapters deal with the evolution in general terms, while the remaining chapters are concerned with the impact of the changes on different parts of the financial system.
