As a non-partisan plan of action, The Squam Lake Report: Fixing the Financial System (Princeton University Press) collects in one volume the insights of 15 leading economists including HBS professor David S. Scharfstein. Chapters focus on hot-button topics such as recapitalizing distressed financial firms, revisiting executive compensation, and regulating the market for retirement savings.
"Two central principles support our recommendations," according to the report's introduction. "First, policymakers must consider how regulations will affect not only individual financial firms but also the financial system as a whole. When setting capital requirements, for example, regulators should consider not only the risk of individual banks, but also the risk of the whole financial system. Second, regulations should force firms to bear the costs of failure they have been imposing on society. Reducing the conflict between financial firms and society will cause the firms to act more prudently."
Among newly published cases, "Microfin" by Senior Lecturer Michael Chu and Enrique Kramer explores the management dilemmas of a new microfinance initiative in Latin America. In a classroom exercise, Professor Mikołaj Jan Piskorski outlines the essentials for designing an optimum social networking strategy ("Social Strategy Exercise"). And delving into the recent history of money market funds, professor Robert C. Pozen and Elizabeth M. Leonard highlight government's role in the fund landscape during the critical period of 2008-2009 ("Breaking the Buck").
