Designing Financial Supervision Institutions : Independence, Accountability and Governance. Cet article n’est pas disponible.Designing Financial Supervision Institutions : Independence, Accountability and Governance

This book offers the first systematic discussion of a new and promising field: the economics of independence, accountability and governance of financial supervision institutions.

For a long time the design of supervision had been an irrelevant issue, both in theory and practice. This perception changed dramatically in the mid-1990s, and over the past decade many countries have witnessed changes in the architecture of financial supervision. This book presents frameworks for analyzing the emerging supervisory architectures and sheds light on the different supervisory regimes, with a particular focus on the role of central banks. It takes a country-specific, comparative and empirical approach.

Designing Financial Supervision Institutions will be an accessible reference tool for multidisciplinary scholars and academics (principally economics, but also politics and law), policymakers, regulators and supervisory institutions.
