The breakdown of the financial markets in fall 2007 and the following debt crisis in the EU has produced an enormous mistrust in financial products and the monetary system. The paper describes the background of the crisis induced by functional failures in risk management and the multifold principal agent problems existing in the financial market structures. The innovated nontransparent financial products have mixed up different risk weights and puzzled, or even fooled formerly loyal customers. Contemporaneously abundant liquidity on the international financial market accompanied by easy money policies of the Fed in the US and the ECB in the euro zone have depressed the real interest rate to zero or even negative values. Desperate investors are seeking for safe-assets, but their demand remains unsatisfied. Low real interest rates and the consequently lacking compound interest effect in the same time jeopardize private as well as public insurance schemes being dependent on capital funding: the demographic crisis becomes gloomy. Therefore, the managers of the financial markets have to reestablish CSR and to divide the markets into safe-asset areas for the usual clients and “casino” areas for those who like to play with high risks. Only with transparency and risk adequate financial products can the lost commitment be regained.

Was eighteenth-century London's financial market linked to domestic real capital markets? When did English capital markets cease to be regionally segmented? We compare London interest rates with annual registered property transactions in Middlesex and in West Yorkshire. This evidence, though tentative, suggests that London financial markets were weakly linked to local real capital markets in the mid-eighteenth century. By the late eighteenth century those links were strong. Regional markets were still segmented in the mid-eighteenth century but were integrated by the time of the Napoleonic War.

Macroeconomic Stability

The banking sector in the global economic system is an area of great impact on the preservation of macroeconomic stability. As it turned out, and during the recent economic crisis, whose consequences are still felt in many countries, the collapse of the financial markets has farreaching effects on all of the national financial markets. The aim of this paper is to analyze the existing regulation of the financial markets and its (lack of) performance in the current financial risk management in order to preserve macroeconomic stability, and provide a secure and stable banking system. The purpose of the study was to present financial regulation before the crisis of 2008 / 2009, and to compare it with the regulations issued after the global crisis of 2008 / 2009 in order to conclusion whether it is cosmetic or real changes of regulating the financial system, and whether existing regulation in the future successfully prevent minor and major disruptions of the financial markets. Croatian financial market is especially analysed in the case of manipulation using the benchmark interest rates.

Management Of Risk

The basic aim of risk management is to recognize, assess, and prioritize risk in order to assure that the uncertainty should not deviate from the intended purpose of the business goals. Risk can take place from various sources, which includes uncertainty in financial markets, recessions, inflation, interest rates, currency fluctuations, etc. Various methods used for this management of risk are faced with various decisions such as the market price, historical data, statistical methodologies, etc. For stock prices, the information derives from the historical data where the next price depends only upon the current price and some of the outside factors. Financial market is very risky to invest money, but the proper prediction with handling the risk will benefit a lot. Various types of risk in the financial market and the appropriate solutions to overcome the risk are analyzed in this study.

Pricing Theory

Convertible bonds are one of the essential financial products for corporate finance, while the pricing theory is the key problem to the theoretical research of convertible bonds. This paper demonstrates how to price convertible bonds with call and put provisions using Least-Squares Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo (LSRQM) method. We consider the financial market with stochastic interest rates and credit risk and present a detailed description on calculating steps of convertible bonds value. The empirical results show that the model fits well the market prices of convertible bonds in China’s market and the LSRQM method is effective.

Market Participants

A central research question in international political economy concerns the influence of financial markets on government policy outcomes. To what extent does international capital mobility limit government policy choices? I evaluate the relationship between international financial markets and government policy outcomes, with a focus on the government bond market in developed democracies. Evidence includes interviews with financial market participants and a cross-sectional time-series analysis of the determinants of interest rates. This evaluation suggests that governments of developed democracies face strong but narrowly defined financial market pressures. Financial market participants are concerned with a few macroeconomic policy indicators, including inflation rates and government deficit/GDP ratios, but not with micropolicy indicators, such as the distribution of government spending across functional categories. In these areas, governments retain policymaking autonomy. I conclude by exploring the role of financial market influences within domestic politics and offering suggestions for further research.

The debt crisis into which heavy borrowing, steeply rising interest rates, and a worldwide recession had plunged a number of developing countries in the late 1970s and 1980s was alleviated largely by policies and conditionalities imposed by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. These policies and conditions were meant to strengthen the export and financial markets of those countries, stabilize their currencies, and reduce the reach of their governments in their economies. However, they contributed to deepening poverty and structural crises, as the reports and data published by the international financial institutions themselves attest.

This chapter explores theoretical issues relevant to the history of finance in the literature. The chapter reviews primary research in the areas of economic growth and incorporation of the financial sector that led to the evolutionary process of financial liberalisation and the restructure of financial markets. Different strands of the theory and various schools of thought that (positively) link finance and growth since 1960s are reviewed. Characteristics and rationale behind these schools are debated. Later in the chapter, the theory of financial intermediation that emerged in the New Growth Theory of economic development is discussed and major types of financial market structures including bank-based financial markets and market-based financial markets are distinguished.

Increased Risk

In this paper we examine the extent newer developments affect the economic processes of the market and put financial markets at risk. We also analyze if the financial market regulations are sufficient to limit the systemic risk they cause. The biggest Shortcoming of the recent reforms to the stabilization of the financial system, such as Basel III and the American Dodd Frank Act, is that they increase the capital requirements rather than the causes of the increased risk. It would generally be better to forbid risky and complex financial products than to further increase regulation complexity and the capital requirements as in Basel III and the American Dodd Frank Act.
