Comparing
Financial Systems
Comparing
Financial Systems has
been published by MIT
Press (January, 2000). Co-authored
with Franklin
Allen of the Wharton School, the
book examines five developed countries (the US, UK, France, Germany and
Japan) financial markets have a more important role in some countries while
banks have traditionally been more important in others. We ask why these
financial systems are so different, whether there is such a thing as an
optimal financial system, and whether the "convergence" to market-oriented
systems is necessarily a good thing. To view the table of contents and
