Financial deregulation, monetary policy, and central banking. Financial deregulation is widely understood to have important economic benefits for microeconomic reasons. Since Adam Smith, economists have provided arguments and evidence that unfettered private markets yield outcomes that are superior to public sector alternatives. But financial regulations - specific rules and overall structures - are sometimes justified on macroeconomic grounds.
This paper analyzes the need for financial regulations in the implementation of central bank policy. Dividing the actions of the Federal Reserve into monetary and banking policy, we find that financial regulations cannot readily be rationalized on the basis of macroeconomic benefits. Islamicbanksand investmentfinancing , Aggarwal, R. Islamic banks and investment financing. Available at SSRN We study the set of instruments used by Islamic banks to finance projects in Muslim countries given that Islamic Law prohibits the charging of interest.
Our evidence indicates that the bulk of the financing operations of Islamic banks do not conform to the principle of profit-and-loss sharing e. Instead, most of the financing is based on the markup principle, and is very debt-like in nature. The majority of financial transactions are directed away from agriculture and industry and long-term financing is rarely offered to entrepreneurs seeking funds.
We construct a model which provides insight into these stylized facts. The main implications of our analysis are that economies characterized by adverse selection and mora hazard will be biased towards debt financing. As these problems become more severe, debt will become the dominant instrument of finance.

A bought deal is a type of financial agreement where the investment banker handling the initial public offering IPO of a company agrees to buy the entire IPO for a certain sum of money.
In this deal, the financial risk for the company is greatly reduced as the amount of money it plans to raise through the IPO is known and would be obtained. However, the downside is that the company will potentially take a lower price for its shares if the IPO opening price ends up being higher. A bought deal is less risky for the company that is looking to sell its shares in the market for the first time and, at the same time, is riskier for the investment banker as the onus is on them to sell all the shares to other investors in the open market.
There is always a possibility that the investment bank may not be able to sell all the shares, or the value of shares can go down even before it is sold to investors. Moreover, the capital of the investment bank gets locked up in these unsold shares, making it unable to be put to better use. To mitigate this risk and make up for possible losses, the investment bank will attempt to negotiate a huge discount at the time of buying the shares from the company. The company that is selling the shares may agree to a discounted value because of the reduced risk associated with the offering.
It gets the money it wants for its business from the investment bank. The remaining few dollars on each share is the profit for the investment bank and most likely makes up for the loss that comes from the unsold shares. In some cases, an investment bank may bring in other banks to form a syndicate so that the risk is divided among them. This strategy is implemented only when the deal is large enough and comes from reputable companies. Create a personalised ads profile.

A bought deal is a securities offering in which an investment bank commits to buy the entire offering from the client company. On the flip side, taking this approach, rather than pricing the offering via the public markets with a preliminary prospectus filing, usually results in the client firm getting a lower price.
A bought deal is relatively risky for the investment bank. This is because the investment bank must turn around and try to sell the acquired block of securities to other investors for a profit. The investment bank assumes the risk of a potential net loss in this scenario, as the securities might lose value and sell at a lower price, or not sell at all. To offset this risk, the investment bank often negotiates a significant discount when buying the offering from the issuing client.
If the deal is large, an investment bank may team up with other banks and form a syndicate , so that each firm bears only a portion of the risk. There are several kinds of initial public offerings IPOs.
Two common methods, fixed price and book building IPOs, are similar to bought deals in that they can result in a fully subscribed IPO. A company can employ fixed price and book building IPOs separately or combined, and a bought deal can employ these methods for reselling the securities as well.
In a fixed price offering, the company going public the issuing company determines a set price at which it will offer its shares to investors. In this scenario, investors know the share price before the company goes public. Investors must pay the full share price when applying for participation in the offering.
In book building, an underwriter will attempt to determine a price at which to offer the issue. The underwriter will base this price point on demand from institutional investors.
