3. Technology and Invention in Finance

admin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 23:37:11 +0000

Financial Markets (ECON 252)

Technology and innovation underlie finance. In order to manage risks successfully, particularly long-term, we must pool large amounts of risk among many, diverse people and overcome barriers such as moral hazard and erroneous framing. Inventions such as insurance contracts and social security, and information technology all the way from such simple things as paper, and the postal service to modern computers have helped to manage risks and to encourage financial systems to address issues pertaining to risk. The tax and welfare system is one of the most important risk management systems.

admin — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 17:46:24 +0000

Fortune 500 insurance conglomerate American International Group is looking for a $20 billion dollar bailout.
The Manhattan-based company, the 18th largest in the world, also plans to sell $20 billion in ets. They will unload their aircraft-leasing arm, International Lease Finance Corporation, the world’s largest aircraft leasing company, and possibly its annuities business and auto insurance unit to raise cash.
They rejected investments from buyout firms KKR & Co., TPG Inc. and J.C. Flowers & Co.
AIG has reportedly asked the Federal Reserve for a $40 billion loan.
AIG stock fell 64 percent on the New York Stock Exchange, extending last week’s 46 percent plunge. It was AIG’s worst single-day loss on the stock market since July 1980.
AIG lost $18.5 billion in the past three quarters.
