Presenting Dr. Oliver Hart, Harvard University discussing 'A New Capital Regulation for Large Financial Institutions' • What economic principles should direct government intervention in capital markets? • How can regulation of debt and equity ensure greater bank stability? • Could credit default swaps be part of the regulatory solution instead of the regulators’ problem?
