Book Description
This two-volume set contains a careful selection of the most significant papers on anti-dumping. These important articles have not only shaped the policy debate in this area but have also substantially influenced how we think about the use and role of anti-dumping in trade relations today. After an initial look at some classic articles, the collection provides an overview of the past two decades of academic research on this subject. The contributions are both empirical and theoretical with the emphasis being on the economic rather than the legal analysis involved. The volumes make these papers easily accessible to a wide audience, including academics, policymakers and all those concerned with anti-dumping issues.

Book Description
Transfer pricing is the most important issue in international taxation today, but transfer pricing regulations for the United States and its major trading partners have changed significantly over the past decade. Professor Tang explains these changes and their impact on trade among multinational companies. In doing so he covers not only changes in U.S. regulations and their effects on multinational companies, but also the changes that have taken place in Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the OECD, and elsewhere, and their impact on U.S. business. Also discussed in detail are the advance pricing agreements (APA) programs of the United States and Canada; a new paradigm for resolving a variety of issues that have arisen recently in intrafirm trade and transfer pricing; and, for business executives, an approach for managing a corporate transfer pricing system. The book is an essential reading for professionals and their colleagues in the academic community.

Dr. Tang: The Authority on Transfer Pricing.......2000-09-22
With "Intrafirm Trade and Global Transfer Pricing Regulations," Dr. Tang has proven why he remains one of the leading experts of the dynamic environment that is transfer pricing. His comprehensive analysis of development trends in global regulations with relation to local arenas reveals the depth of his vast knowledge, and his more than twenty years of experience in the field. This book is an essential reference for academics specializing in transfer pricing, and a valuable guide for students alike.

Since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971 and subsequent free-float of currencies, the capital markets have been deregulated. But the benefits of international liberalization, according to John Eatwell and Lance Taylor in their boldly argued Global Finance at Risk, "have been tarnished by considerable costs"--namely, more volatile foreign exchange and domestic interest rates, a greater susceptibility to contagion, and the threat of destabilizing financial crises.
The problem with the current network of regulatory authorities, write the authors (Eatwell is president of Queens' College at Cambridge University and a member of Britain's House of Lords, and Taylor is a professor of economics at the New School in New York), is they offer too little, too late and just don't manage the threat of systemic risk. To rectify this hole in the soul of the capital markets, they propose (some might say fancifully) a World Financial Authority, to be built on the back of the Bank for International Settlements, which would spearhead and manage international capital-market regulation, make policy, oversee the markets, and provide an enforcement mechanism as necessary. The authors don't fuss: their superregulator would supervise all markets. They make the further case, very much against the current grain in OECD countries, for restrictions on short-term capital inflows to developing countries during time of crisis and for the "management" of foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, euro, and yen.
Along the way, Eatwell and Taylor recap (at times controversially) various financial crises over the last 30 years and cover hot-button issues ranging from moral hazard, regulatory arbitrage, and value-at-risk modeling to the risks posed by the increasing complexity of derivatives and the need for greater international accounting standardization. The book does not discuss the Basel Committee's newly proposed capital adequacy framework or the structural changes altering the markets as a result of electronic trading. These omissions, however, don't detract from the authors' feisty argument that the international financial markets--with their "remorseless dynamism" and destabilizing prospect of contagion--need activist leadership rather than mere babysitting. --Nina Mehta
Book Description
Now in paperback, a "timely" (Library Journal) argument for an international body that will foster a more stable, viable global financial system. In Global Finance at Risk, now available in paperback, two economists whom John Kenneth Galbraith has hailed as "accomplished scholars of the first rank" propose a bold solution to the financial crises that threaten us all: a World Financial Authority with powers to establish worldwide best-practice financial regulation and risk management. Expansion of finance in industrialized economies, including that of the nineteenth-century United States, was accompanied by the same kind of turbulence now afflicting Asia, Russia, and Latin America. Then, the solution was to establish national banking and securities regulators, create deposit insurance, and empower lenders of last resort. But in our increasingly globalized times, an account opened at a local bank can be based on bad debt from anywhere in the world, including places outside the jurisdiction of those national agencies. And when banks fail, it is not only their account holders who suffer, but all of us. This is why, argue John Eatwell and Lance Taylor in this timely and urgent book, effective regulation of international finance is crucial to the economic health of all nations. Global Finance at Risk casts a welcome light on the deepening intricacies of world financial systems.

Best book on International Financial Market.......2004-05-05
John Eatwell was a professor of mine - a wonderful individual and an accomplished economist. This book is a lucid yet comprehensive account of world financial markets. The way it is written and organized makes it easy for almost anyone to read. Although it can be complex at times, this book is an excellent, compelling argument for International Regulation. Dont think twice to buy this one.
Where Global Currency is Headed; Excellent Book........2001-03-28
This is an excellent review of what has happened to, may happen to--and will happen to--the situation of Global Finance. Eatwell makes strong points about both currency in global markets, and its pejorative effects in local or regional areas. He brushes on many of the key issues concerned in golbal economic concerns, including Bretton Woods, IMF, the EC, the Asian economic crisis. In the end, he seems to suggest action of major restructuring of current currency guidelines, even to the point of 'support' for currencies or other like dimensions.
Overall, a very good book.
Book Description
The book sets forth the economic rationale for international financial regulation and what role, if any, international regulation can play in effectively managing systemic risk while providing accountability to all affected nations. The book suggests that a particular type of global governance structure is necessary to have more efficient regulation of the international financial system.

A FUNDAMENTAL BOOK ON WORLD ECONOMY.......2006-08-12
THE AUTHORS ARE VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE PARLOUS STATE OF THE WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM AFTER "FREE CAPITAL" PRIVATIZATION, DEREGULATION, AND THE GOALS AND SHIBBOLETHS OF THE MAJOR GOVERMENTS FOR THE PAST DECADE. THIS IS A TECHNICAL ACCOUNT OF WHY THE STATUS QUO WILL VERY LIKELY PRODUCE DISASTER. DESPITE THE INHIBITED TONE OF THE WRITING, THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL: ECONOMIC DISASTER IS THE MOST PROBABLE OUTCOME OF ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE WORLD ECONOMY SINCE 1971 AND THE COLLAPSE OF THE BRETTON WOODS SYSTEM. A VERY IMPORTANT BOOK.
Review in Foreign Affairs:.......2006-02-17
This book finds serious deficiencies with the by now extensive system of committees, organizations, rules, and guidelines that have emerged to govern and manage the international financial system. Concretely, it suggests that the existing framework, based on the supervision of individual financial institutions (especially banks), fails to take adequate account of the negative macroeconomic consequences that may flow from the financial failures of particular institutions. Even worse, emerging rules (such as the Basel II guidelines for minimum bank capital) may actually increase systemic fragility by making financial institutions more homogeneous in their behavior, leading to abrupt disruptions (financial crises) following periods of apparent but fragile stability. In making its central argument, the book offers informative coverage of the International Monetary Fund, the Basel committees on banking, the Asian financial crises, bankruptcy, the legal aspects of the system for settlement of payments, and many other relevant topics.

CE Conformity Marking: and New Approach Directives
ASIN: 0750698195 |
Book Description
This book is essential reading for electronic consumer-product manufacturers doing business in the European marketplace. Compliance with directives and procedures can be a complex and confusing process, resulting in wasted money and effort. With the help of the CE Marking Handbook, engineers and managers can more easily identify which rules apply to them and pinpoint what they need to do to comply. Dave Lohbeck was formerly the Manager for Seminars and Training at TUV Rhineland, the largest German testing and certification agency. He has worked for many years as an engineer, including nine years in the field of European safety and EMC compliance.
A once complicated topic is made clear as the author addresses the confusion surrounding CE Marking. Lohbeck offers guidance on both legal and design issues. This book includes a step-by-step design guide aimed at both novice and experienced exporters. With its help, engineers and managers can easily identify which rules apply to their products and pinpoint what they need to do to comply. The information presented here is backed up with facts and examples. Many have been misled, unfortunately, but this book presents the real meaning of CE Marking.
Shows design engineers how to comply with CE requirements for product conformity
Explains legal and technical issues concisely and logically
Presents and illuminates US and EU differences

High on Touchy-feely, Low on Content, Void of Assistance.......1999-04-16
The CE Marking Handbook offers a loving philosophical defense of the European Community's (EC's) ideas on product safety, but little in the way of practical resources needed by people who have to sell products in the EC which comply with the appropriate safety standards. After several hours of reading, I had gleaned virtually no useful information, and was ready to send the book to the circular file. The book's organization is obscure and confusing, and the prose more like a novel than a handbook; a difficult and confusing read. The book has a glaring lack of the SPECIFIC, DETAILED, product requirements for the EC (not a single safety standard, nor even a summary of a standard, is printed in the book, as far as I can tell) and a mountain of non-sense about the differences between US and EC safety values. WHO CARES?! Readers who would consider buying this book need help, not moralizing lectures on safety philosophy. Don't waste your time and money, buy something else. I am going to have to.
