There can never be uniform global rules because states have different goals.

One has only to look at the poor record of the UN in defusing military conflict to see this.

In general the developed states want natural resources from the less developed states at favorable prices. The developing states want trade policies that encourage local business and nobody cares what the undeveloped states want since they have no clout.

When it comes to relations between countries we are still operating at the level of the law of the jungle (might makes right). People get deluded because they see international mechanisms set up (IMF, WB, WTO, UN, etc) and think this is a sign of the rule of law.

It's only a sign that the strong states have found it more convenient to put a velvet glove on the iron fist.

The world is not a harmonious place.

A big motivator for globalization is corporations escaping the regulation of their home turf. If you institute credible global regulation, you undercut globalization.

Slightly Optimistic

The idea that global financial regulation should be controlled outwith the local political process is welcome.

The shocks of the US subprime certainly went all round the world. And there are allegations in many countries that local politics interferes with the auditing process.

But which nations would volunteer to surrender their influence over the global economy?

I think that there is a choice in this. There is no international framework in place as of now, and national governments are going to do what they please, especially when they are coming under pressure from a full blown crisis.

Also, if national governments are put under more pressure to sign on to more international agreements at a time when 'globalization' as an end is becoming a very politically difficult sell (not that it wasn't before, but its even more so now), doesn't blowback become far more likely?

Per Kurowski

Let me put it this way. The first big experience in developing a framework for a global financial regulation was Basel, and most of the world is slowly realizing we would all have been better of had it never taken place.

To now extend the Basel regulation and to even have these as some propose to try to rate and cover systemic risks; as if anyone can truly be sure of what the current real dangerous systemic risk is; as if tinkering with discovered systemic risks will not increase the destructive power of any not discovered systemic risks, is plain lunacy or masochism.

Do the previous contain a word against globalization? Of course not!

Perhaps what could work is for the Bank for International Settlements ("BIS") to grade every country's prudential regulatory system. For example, the US and Iceland would (at least in hindsight) have received a low grade. This information could have been taken into account by German, Spanish and UK regulators in deciding how much capital banks in their respective countries must hold if they wish to invest in US and Icelandic assets. The subprime crisis would then have had less impact on the banks in Germany, Spain and the UK.

One benefit of this approach is that each country would have strong incentives to maintain strong prudential regulation so that its banks have cheaper access to overseas borrowings. It would be very important for the BIS to maintain its independence. Powerful countries like the US will likely pressure the BIS to award the highest grade to the US prudential regulatory system.

Eric Talagrand

I have to say that I do not understand this argument.

You say that it is not desirable because countries are different in economical development and goals. If I understand you properly you are against any international organisation, like world trade organisation (WTO). An organisation that involve all existing country exist and is agree by most economist as a good thing for the international commerce. Why should it be different for finance? It is totally possible for an organisation to understand the various level of development and adapt the risk profile to there need, while avoiding the Iceland syndrome.

You say it is not prudent because this organisation can have it wrong. This is the case for any organisation, did it stop us to make organisation: no! Also because this kind of organisation is multi-polar by nature different voice can be ear and errors can be corrected.

Finally you say that it is not politically feasible because states do not want to loose their prerogatives. The argument is also right for the WTO, but it has work for trade. Why should it different for finance? You are right there is a great resistant from states to loose this power, but now is the best time to have the discussion when states can feel the current crisis. The main point here is by giving away some area of influence states would understand that they are also removing area of influence of other possible rogue states.

The world of finance is already totally global; there is very little other human activity that is more global. We have seen during the current crisis that a few countries can have extremely strong impact on the rest of the world. Not regulating on a global level would be putting us in a world where this crisis can happen again.

I understand that a world finance organisation could over do regulation, but the very idea of global finance organisation is now a necessity. The argument that consist on saying it could not work or it will be difficult is not very convincing, given the fact that the alternative we are currently experiencing has already failed.

Hi Prof. Rodrik,

I'm from the Bahamas, in the Caribbean, and, capital controls is what is killing development.

For example, half of the Caribbean offer financial services. However, they are only services in the administrative sense--fiduciary and trust companies, primarily.

These vocations are not very lucrative and we can't move forward towards more financial innovation, if there are capital controls--especially since buying foreign owned stocks, comes with a tax of nearly half of the income. Also, especially, if we tax capital that comes in and is virtually trapped when they are here.

It's easy to get it in, but costs allot to get it out.

It's not feasible-- with still too many risks-- so folks just don't use the stock market at all and domestic "financial advisors", are stuck with one or two options in the financial services internationally and domestically--real estate (domestic) and fiduciary and trust services (offshore clients).

Forget about local bourses....its pathetic, because we don't have the technical expertise, to help innovate, when there is no framework in place, to guide that innovation because it is not needed.

So, everyone is stuck doing the same thing, with little thought on moving forward, because it costs too much to even think about--let alone move forward with.

I would LOVE to see the financial markets in the devloping countries, truly develop. However, with capital controls, this is would never happen.

Best,

Youri

Marcin Piatkowski

I am currently writing a book on the irrationality of global tax competition and was struck by the similarity of arguments used by prof. Rogoff and Rodrik to those used in the tax competition debate: there it is argued that a World Tax Organization "with real teeth" would be desirable (to paraphrase Rogoff) “to prevent the race to the bottom problem. Before this crisis, capital flowed to the place where it was least taxed, and some countries competed to be that place". Prof. Rodrik provides arguments usually used by proponents of tax competition. Would he argue the same in the tax competition debate?

Slightly Optimistic

Dani Rodrik argues that effective international regulation of global finance is impossible, for essentially two reasons. Because not enough people want it yet and, anyway, there are too many political obstacles to effective regulation from those who prosper from the chaos.

Scope for negotiation? A start could be made with the effective regulation of finance nationally. The 'Economist', for example, has complained: "For all the benefits of greater international co-operation, though, the most important regulatory lessons from this crisis lie at home. . . it is domestic reforms that will yield the greatest returns." And "In a fight, the regulators have the legal power. But the financiers have the political power".

Youri_Kemp

Hi Marcin & Slightly,

I get Rodrik's point, however I'm just saying that it [capital controls and stiff financial regulation by means of heavy taxation] would impede the diffusion of information for development.

At worse, it would concentrate the money into the hands of the persons who have the most. Who, by all accounts, have been the bigger part of the problem--the problem is not the money, but the people who weild it!

Best,

Youri
http://globalviewtoday.blogspot.com/

Slightly Optimistic

Unfortunately there is still no common EU position on regulation. So, for the meantime, each government will be expected to continue tightening its own financial controls. A move to make audit independent from national politics would certainly remove many complaints and honour its professionalism.

Youri, having improved regulation and solved trading imbalances, attention might eventually focus on tax havens. The heads of many big states in the West have criticised tax havens: President Obama, when he was the senator from Illinois, joined two other senators in introducing the "Stop Tax Havens Abuse Act" in the US Congress - the Act never became law; the president of France said last week his country will review its relations with neighbouring financial havens such as Luxembourg, Andorra and Monaco; and the BBC reported claims that the British government "is broke - a record £44b in the red - and yet one estimate is that the taxman loses £18.5b a year thanks to tax haven abuse".

enigma_foundry

From the NYT article:

"The metaphor that comes to mind is that of a large ship. A single-hull ship will cost less to build and operate than a similar ship with a double hull. It will therefore earn more money on every trip, but it is more likely to be sunk if it encounters a severe storm or large iceberg."

Wrong metaphor. The one I would chose is that of a monoculture. A monoclture is very susceptible to a single disease, which can sweep through and decimate it. A polyculture, though, is relatively resistant to a disease, and a disease outbreak, when it occurs, will not result in catastrophic crop failure, but a partial and much more localized one.

Per Kurowski

A global financial regulator with real teeth?... To prevent the lowest common denominator problem?...

And what if the lowest common denominator is the financial regulator?

yes, this post is quite interesting and informative. i also found some useful resource links in ur post as well as in comments, I always look for good articles for knowledge. I am sure that there would be more articles and information soon. All the best.

Per Kurowski

The Basel Committee, responding to its absolute failure in trying to avoid a crisis by means of creating disincentives for banks to assume credit risks as measured by others, is now slowly evolving into the believing they could and should measure and fight systemic risk. This is indeed a truly scary example of cognitive dissonance.

New-York-Frankfurt

Merrill hat nun vor dem obersten Gericht des Staates New York Klage eingereicht. Eric Heaton habe am 3. Februar bei Merrill gekündigt und noch am selben Tag bei der Deutschen Bank angefangen. Er habe damit Konkurrenzschutzklauseln verletzt, erst nach Ablauf eines Jahres hätte er bei einem Wettbewerber beginnen können. Außerdem breche die Deutsche Bank den Schutz von Firmengeheimnissen, Heaton habe Kenntnisse über sensible Informationen wie Kunden und Geldquellen von Merrill Lynch. Die Bank will nach Angaben ihres Anwalts 100 Millionen Dollar Schadenersatz.

Die Deutsche Bank wollte sich zu dem Streit nicht äußern. Aus ihrer Abwerbestrategie macht sie allerdings keinen Hehl. Bei der Bilanzpressekonferenz Anfang Februar hatte Vorstandschef Josef Ackermann angekündigt, die Bank wolle die Krise nutzen, um Talente von schwächeren Konkurrenten zu locken. Er deutete damals an, er könne sich vorstellen, dass vor allem Mitarbeiter von Banken unter Staatseinfluss gerne zu einem Institut wechseln, das frei von politischen Einflüssen sei. Die amerikanische Regierung hat die Bank of America, die Merrill Lynch im Herbst übernommen hatte, mit 25 Milliarden Dollar gestützt. In Bankenkreisen heißt es, angeschlagene Häuser wie Merrill wehrten sich auch deswegen so aggressiv gegen Abwerbeversuche, weil sie fürchteten, dadurch weiter geschwächt zu werden.

Lada-krise

Nach dem wiederholten Stopp der Montagebänder geht im „russischen Detroit“, der Stadt Togliatti an der Wolga, die Angst um. Im Januar brach brach die Autoproduktion im Reich der Ladas im Jahresvergleich um desaströse 80 Prozent ein.

Russlands Autoindustrie legt Wert auf Tradition. Selbst in der Hauptstadt Moskau bieten Händler bis heute fabrikneue Ladas als modernisierte Nachbauten des Fiat 124 an. Der kleine Italiener war immerhin Europas Auto des Jahres - allerdings schon vor mehr als 40 Jahren.

Von der Wärme Italiens ist in der 1000 Kilometer östlich von Moskau gelegenen Lada-Stadt Togliatti, benannt nach dem italienischen Kommunistenführer Palmiro Togliatti, nichts zu spüren. In bitterer Winter-Kälte haben sich einige Dutzend Arbeiter mit Plakaten vor die Tore des Automobilwerks gestellt. „Wir Arbeiter kämpfen für unsere Rechte“, steht auf einem Schild. Die meisten der Demonstranten sind Frauen. „Mein Lohn reichte bislang gerade so zum Leben. Nun weiß ich wirklich nicht, wo das alles enden wird“, sagt die 26-jährige Anna Semjonowa, eine alleinerziehende Mutter.
