In this brief chat, I review whether Bitcoins, scamcoins, digital coins and tokens can ever be real money. The answer: yes — if they have real ‘stuff’ backing them up.Most every tradable good/service (like chocolate) need prices to sit in a real economy. Py=mv is more than simple maths. It is the future of digital currencies. I give two sets of rec…

1:15:00

We are building the new internet on the bones of the old. Like the early attempts to build airplanes using flappable wings. We take our grandfathers' understanding of law and economics - and try to apply it to Web3. In this podcast, I describe how a new set of laws and conventions could help us break out of the 'lock in' which keeps us using New Te…

The Corrupt Institutions of Development Economics and Its Shadow Professoriate 26:58

2y ago26:58

26:58

Most of us use theories and empirical results from development economics all day long at the office. What if much of it led to under-development because of a shadowy group of advocates (or those who profess) benefit from bad theory and practice? I describe this Shadow Professoriate, the rules that keep it going strong, and their wages. I provide ba…

Wanda Dalian Chairman Jian-Lin WANG had a decision to make. Should he, and Wanda by implication, compete with Disney aggressively, or do something else? What should the company's grand strategy be? And what is the role of the People's Republic's government in all this? This teaching video should help you with the issues behind the case study. Liste…

Writing Anti-Corruption Regulations When Laws Don't Work 9:01

6+ y ago9:01

9:01

Anti-corruption laws are generally failing all over the world. Can regulation -- rather than legislation - hold the answer to more effectively fighting corruption? In this 'how to' episode, we describe 10 years of research on writing these rules. We argue that these rules teach us about the way administrative law is evolving - and how anti-corrupti…

The Results about Polyarchy and Financial Centre Success 8:38

6+ y ago8:38

8:38

We find that financial centres balance democracy and autocracy, depending on trends in other international financial centres. Democracy can encourage financial innovation. Yet, autocracy can encourage 'focus' and cost-saving measures. The question is not whether an international financial centre benefits from becoming more democratic -- but whether…

The Model and Econometrics of Polyarchy and Financial Centres 11:29

6+ y ago11:29

11:29

Data do not speak for themselves. Only a model can help us make sense of the flood of data we see. Only econometric analysis helps us separate the signal from the noise. We review our model and the way we adjust global financial networks for distorting variables like the way economies shift over time.…

What Data Say About Democracy and Financial Success 8:10

6+ y ago8:10

8:10

Glancing at the data may show that democracy serves as the best incubator for financial centre success. We show the data - before applying the usual adjustments and controls which rigorous scientists would apply to make the data more reliable. We show how autocracy plays a greater role than one might think.…

Why Care about Democracy's Effect on International Financial Centres? 3:42

6+ y ago3:42

3:42

Many people see democracy as bad for developing an international financial centre. Qatar. UAE. Moscow. Istanbul. Jersey. Malta. Shanghai... the list goes on. We describe why the question holds extra relevance now in the Brexit and Hong Kong full reversion to Mainland authority - and review our findings.…

Does Democracy Help Grow an International Financial Centre? 32:00

6+ y ago32:00

32:00

Does democracy or autocracy political institutions best allow policymakers to grow their international financial centres? In this presentation, we show how these centres must respond to each other. Democratic inclusion in one place depends on another place. So does its centrality in the global financial system. We describe the importance of this qu…

Why Should Central Banks Buy Private Securities as Part of Monetary Policy? 5:40

7y ago5:40

5:40

Central banks conduct monetary policy mostly through government securities markets (ie they buy and sell government bills, bonds, etc.) -- when not directly tampering with interest rates. Why should governments buy companies' securities directly - rather than support banks to do this? For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_…

Which Central Banks' Private Securities Purchases Would Most Goose Investment? 10:48

7y ago10:48

10:48

Which central banks' private securities purchases would contribute the most toward real investment in their jurisdiction(s)? Such monetary policy helps most when conventional monetary policy has failed (or will likely fail because of liquidity traps) and the executive part of government sags in corruption and incompetence. For more, see: https://pa…

Do Central Bank Private Asset Purchases Actually Encourage Real Investment? 6:54

7y ago6:54

6:54

Econometric evidence shows a pretty clear line between central bank unconventional monetary policy (outright purchases) and output - usually because of its effects via money policy mechanisms. What about its effects on real investment (like in DNA sequencers, 3D printers, IP patents and "real" investment)? For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol…

Should Central Banks Be Funders of Last Resort? 4:45

7y ago4:45

4:45

Would unconventional monetary policy aimed at buying private sector securities (stocks and bonds) helped boost lackluster investment? Particularly in developing and emerging markets? We look at the role that central banks - as funders of last resort - might have played in promoting investment. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?…

Ballooning Central Bank Balance Sheets as Opportunity for Companies? 2:12

7y ago2:12

Central banks around the world bought up alot of securities. To what extent have central banks turned to buying private sector securities in a macroeconomic environment characterised by zero percent interest rates, low growth, investment, and ballooning debts?

Full Presentation: Central Banks' Securities Purchases' Effect on Investment 46:28

46:28

Why don't central banks buy our companies' stocks and bonds? Should they fund mostly governments? And expand credit through banks? We look at central banks' role as a "funder of last resort." We find that investment increases when central banks buy private sector assets - except under a certain "sloth effect." We describe how law fails to give cent…

Who Wins from the World-Wide Competition Law Copy-a-thon? 4:14

7+ y ago4:14

4:14

Most governments copied competition law "best practice" - without accompanying templates on improving innovation/productivity. Competition acts are easy to copy. New ideas are not. Some countries like Singapore and Hong Kong will win out from more competition. Vietnam and even Japan won't -- unless law incentivises creativity. To see how much money…

Competition Law Only Helps SMEs with Accompanying Innovation Legislation 4:21

7+ y ago4:21

4:21

The international organisations have pressured most countries into adopting competition laws. Many governments rightfully ignore them - because they harm domestic business (and particularly SMEs). If lawmakers adopt an innovation act at the same time as an antitrust act though, competition law can do more good than harm. For more, see: https://pape…

Does Legal Independence for Competition Authorities Actually Matter? 4:27

7+ y ago4:27

4:27

Like with central banks, conventional wisdom has increasingly made competition authorities (commissions) independent. How does such independence look like in black letter law? Does the econometric evidence suggest that independence makes competition "better"? For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3000240…

Who Has the Best Competition Law for SMEs? 3:36

7+ y ago3:36

3:36

Competition law helps shape competition in a jurisdiction. "Better" laws help protect vulnerable businesses like small and medium enterprises (SMEs) - without hurting consumers. How do we measure the quality of such competition law? Who is ahead... and behind? For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3000240…

Who Has the Most and Best SMEs? 2:44

7+ y ago2:44

How to Draft Competition Laws to Help SME Development? 21:27

7+ y ago21:27

21:27

Competition often hurts SMEs more than helps them. In this presentation, we review competition laws in various countries (mostly Asia and Brunei as a concrete example). Without passing innovation legislation at the same time, competition law could well do more harm than good. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=300024…

Making Markets for Information with an International Financial Centre 6:04

7+ y ago6:04

6:04

An international financial centre represents a technology, a method of generating information about new opportunities and risks. We describe the value of information in an international financial centre using China's solar industry and Hong Kong's financing of that industry as an example.

Why Securitisation Represents the Next Wave of International Financial Centre Finance 10:19

7+ y ago10:19

10:19

Benefits from securitisation well exceed the current offering of securitised debt and assets. An international financial centre ready to securitise a sunrise industry can fill a large void -- and earn large profits. Hong Kong's own experience has been to make casino bet instruments, rather than productive assets. Yet, it does not have to be that wa…
