Balleisen Alexander Styhre, University of Gothenburg, Sweden The shift from managerial capitalism to investor capitalism, dominated by the finance industry and finance capital accumulation, is jointly caused by a variety of institutional, legal, political, and ideological changes, beginning with the 1970s downturn of the global economy This book traces how the incorporation of businesses within the realm of the state leads to both certain benefits, characteristic of competitive capitalism, and to the emergence of new corporate governance problems emerges Contrasting economic, legal, and managerial views of corporate governance practices in contemporary capitalism, the author examines how corporate governance has been understood and advocated differently during the New Deal era, the post-World War II economic boom, and after 1980 in the era of free market advocacy 2016 296 pp Hardback 978 78536 401 Ê85.00 Elgaronline 978 78536 402 New Perspectives on the Modern Corporation series

University of Utrecht and De Nederlandsche Bank and Laura Spierdijk, University of Groningen, the Netherlands For academics, regulators and policymaker alike, it is crucial to measure financial sector competition by means of reliable, well-established methods However, this is easier said than done The goal of this Handbook is to provide a collection of state-of-the-art chapters to address this issue The book consists of four parts, the first of which discusses the characteristics of various measures of financial-sector competition The second part includes several empirical studies on the level of, and trends in, financial sector competition across countries The third part deals with the spillovers of market power to other sectors and the economy as a whole Finally, the fourth part considers competition in banking submarkets and subsectors Shadow banking has become one of the most important areas of study in domestic and international finance Chinas sector is recognised as particularly significant, not least because of its size, and potential to destabilise This work by a leading scholar contains a detailed factual explanation of the sector, and places it in the context of Chinas financial and regulatory system as a whole The book is a valuable source of information and analysis that will provide a solid basis for practitioners, regulators and academics alike.
