Institutional Investors $36.41 One of the most important recent developments in financial markets is the institutionalization of saving associated with the growth of pension funds, life insurance companies, and mutual funds. An increasing proportion of household saving is now managed by professional portfolio managers instead of being directly invested in the securities markets or held in the form of bank deposits. With the aging of the population and its adverse impact on public pension systems, the shift of individual savings to institutional investors is likely to become even more marked in the coming years. This book provides a comprehensive economic assessment of institutional investment. It charts the development and performance of the asset management industry and analyzes the implications of rising institutionalized saving for the development of the securities trading industry, the financial sector as a whole, and the wider economy. The book draws extensively on international experience, particularly in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan. |

Property $9.39 John and Cassie are lovers, and partners in a property-development business. When John gambles Cassie away one mis-spent evening in a bizarre game of SM poker, she is won by Brandon McPherson, their rival for the lucrative Harwood building contract. Stripped and subjected to Brandon’s discipline, chained and secured in his cellar, Cassie finds that she much prefers attendance at his weekly perverted poker games to a job in his office. When John returns to the gaming table, he finds he is gambling for more than the Harwood deal, and that it’s Cassie the croupier who holds the cards. Trouble is, Cassie might just have learnt that she’d prefer a full-time position as one of McPherson’s ‘entertainment staff.’ |

Investment Banking: Institutions, Politics, and Law $12 Investment Banking: Institutions, Politics, and Law provides an economic rationale for the dominant role of investment banks in the capital markets, and uses it to explain both the historical evolution of the investment banking industry and also recent changes to its organization. Although investment decisions rely upon price-relevant information, it is impossible to establish property rights over it and hence it is very hard to coordinate its exchange. The authors argue that investment banks help to resolve this problem by managing "information marketplaces," within which extra-legal institutions support the production and dissemination of information that is important to investors. Reputations and relationships are more important in fulfilling this role than financial capital. The authors substantiate their theory with reference to the industry’s evolution during the last three centuries. They show how investment banking networks were formed, and identify the informal contracts that they supported. This historical development points to tensions between the relational contracting of investment banks and the regulatory impulses of the State, thus providing some explanation for the periodic large-scale State intervention in the operation of capital markets. Their theory also provides a technological explanation for the massive restructuring of the capital markets in recent decades, which the authors argue can be used to think about the likely future direction of the investment banking industry. |
