Free Download The Causes and Costs of Depository Institution Failures By Allin F. Cottrell, Michael S. Lawlor (auth.), Allin F. Cottrell, Michael S. Lawlor, John H. Wood (eds.)

One of the major financial market events of the 1980s was the precipitous rise of depository institution failures including banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions. Not since the 1930s has there been a similar period of turmoil in these industries. The events of the 1980s have inspired a renewed interest in the causes and cost of financial institution failure and several questions that had seldom been asked in the post-World War II economics literature have resurfaced Why do financial institutions fail? What are the costs of their failure? How do they differ from other firms and industries? What are the implications for financial market regulation? The Causes and Costs of Depository Institution Failures critically surveys and extends previous analyses of these questions. Audience: Scholars and researchers in the areas of money and banking, financial institutions, and financial markets, as well as regulators and policymakers.

Free Download Controlling als ökonomische Institution: Eine agency-theoretische Analyse By Dr. Anne Chwolka (auth.)
1996 | 215 Pages | ISBN: 3790809381 | PDF | 11 MB
Controlling ist immer noch ein umstrittener Begriff. Scheinbare Widersprüche lösen sich auf, wenn man Controlling als spezifisches Element der Führungsorganisation erklärt. Notwendig hierfür ist eine Abgrenzung der Funktionen, die einem institutionalisierten Controllung übertragen werden sollten. Bei Betrachtung der Managementberatungsfunktion des Controllers wird untersucht, ob die daraus resultierende Trennung von Entscheidungsvorbereitung und -kompetenz vorteilhaft ist. Die Rolle des Controllers als Kontrollinstanz wird mit Hilfe hierarchischer Principal-Agent-Modelle analysiert. Im Ergebnis kann der Controller die Service- und Kontrollfunktion ausschließlich in integrierter Form effizient wahrnehmen. Hieraus ergeben sich praktische Konsequenzen für die Organisation des Controllings.

This book addresses quantitative assessment of forest governance and how local-level institutions work in governing efficient ways of forest resource management so that sustainable development of forest is ensured. The research is done at the micro-level as well as macro-level in India.

The research covers 36 villages, 844 households, 10 Gram panchayat, 12 Beat offices, and 36 Forest protection Committees in West Bengal and also studies different local-level institutions like local communities/households; Joint Forest Management Committees (JFMC)/Forest Protection Committees (FPCs); Community Forest Management groups; Van Panchayats; Village Councils (schedule VI area) and Biodiversity Management Committees; Eco-development committees, NGOs and Self-Help Groups, and Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). Chapters also address various issues like monitoring, enforcement, rule of law, transparency, accountability, participation, control of corruption, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and sustainable livelihood in connection with the study of forest governance. This research is associated with different sectors like agricultural sector, forestry sector, informal sectors and rural development, etc., and involved multi-stakeholders. Particular attention is given on the policy-oriented research which is the cornerstone of SDG of 16.

Free Download Slave Religion: The "Invisible Institution" in the Antebellum South by Albert J. Raboteau, Rodney Louis Tompkins, Upfront Books
English | 2022 | ISBN: B09RTQWF88 | 15 hours and 27 minutes / Format: M4B / Bitrate: 32 Kbps | 228 Mb
Twenty-five years after its original publication, Slave Religion remains a classic in the study of African American history and religion. In a new chapter in this anniversary edition, author Albert J. Raboteau reflects upon the origins of the book, the reactions to it over the past 25 years, and how he would write it differently today.
Using a variety of first and secondhand sources – some objective, some personal, all riveting – Raboteau analyzes the transformation of the African religions into evangelical Christianity. He presents the narratives of the slaves themselves, as well as missionary reports, travel accounts, folklore, Black autobiographies, and the journals of White observers to describe the day-to-day religious life in the slave communities. Slave Religion is a must-listen for anyone wanting a full picture of this "invisible institution".
