Abstract
An examination of the entry of Canadian banks into the American banking market. The paper shows how their greatest competition remains the American commercial banks, and shows how their attempt to enter the real estate market has succeeded. It shows how Canadian Banks already realize a healthy portion of the US real estate market and it is expected that this growth will continue into the future.
From the Paper
"The Canadian economy has paralleled the US economy for the past year. Following the events of September 11, 2002, the Canadian economy and the US economy took dips and many on both sides of the border feared recession. However, these circumstances were short-lived and both economies quickly resumed their normal pattern. The US economy is strong and many Canadian Banks are poised to take advantage of eager investors in the United States. Many of these Banks have established a presence in New York City. One of the main reasons for this move is the strength of the US dollar. Foreign Banks used to have a competitive edge over American Banks, but legislation has evened the playing field. The chief competition for Canadian Banks operating in the US is, of course, other US Banks."

Abstract
This paper examines the reasons both for the proposed merger of a number of Canada?s most important banks and the final rejection for that merger. The author discusses the economic and political factor that prevented those mergers from occurring.
From the Paper
"While certainly national governments have an important role to play in designing and securing a country?s economic strategy and security, governments cannot in any sense entirely plan a country?s economy. Much of the power of the economic sector lies in the hands of private companies and especially of private financial institutions such as banks. If the control of such banks is not kept under strict scrutiny (and in the case of a relatively small country like Canada kept in large measure under domestic control) then the country?s economic stability can be threatened. Such a threat would have seemed particularly realistic in 1998 given the economic destabilization caused by problems in Asian markets and the very shaky standing of the Canadian dollar in comparison to the U.S. dollar.

Abstract
In 1815 there were no banks in British North America. Five years later, five had been founded in response to local development needs. Later in the century the banks became involved in speculation and railroad construction. At the dawn of the twentieth century the six major chartered banks emerged as the oligopoly in Canadian banking that persists today.

Canadian Banking, 2002.
Discusses the critical role of banks in the development of Canada's economic history.

Abstract
During the evolution of the banking evolution in Canada what became supremely clear was that Canada's branch banks had accumulated a great deal of power over their tenure. Canada's economy had grown almost exclusively through the intermediation and financing of the country's few chartered banks. How did they become so powerful? Why did the situation have to change? These are important questions in Canadian economic history. This study strives to resolve these issues by tracing the development of banking in Canada in the post-1850 era. The primary argument will be that formative years of banking in Canada; i.e., those circa 1850, were critical in establishing the unusually high influence and authority of chartered banks in this country. By making brief comparisons and contrasts with the English and American banking systems, the uniqueness of the Canadian situation in this regard will be revealed. By the end of the paper it will be clear that the lack of government intervention in the economy until the 20th century greatly expanded the legitimacy of the country's banks.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"To understand the relationship that can develop between the Internet and banks, one has to first understand the nature of both these items. The first to be understood is the banks. So far as banks are concerned, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, central banking which is the source of all banking activity would appear to be at a crossroads in their future. Earlier it was the lender of last resort, active participant in stabilizing economic fluctuations, and now the present main function is being the guardian of price stability. As it is still the monetary authority, much is expected from them. At one stage, fiscal policy was considered to be the main instrument of economic policy, the situation changed to an ascendancy of monetary policy and that was noted by the late 1980s in most parts of the industrialized world. This had a lot of implications for the role of the central bank."

Europe's Emerging Banks and the U.S. Banking History, 2002.

Abstract
This paper presents four potential dangers to banks in emerging markets and relates them to the lessons of the founding banking system of the United States: Macroeconomic volatility, connected lending, political involvement and financial liberalization. This paper discusses that the emerging banking industries in Eastern Europe must learn to operate in an objective environment free from burdensome and often disastrous government control; just as, the ever-present tension in the United States between government policy and banking policy ensured the banking industry's objectivity. This paper argues that the primary cause of the banking crisis in Eastern Europe was the banks' decision to allow financiers with little experience and even less capital to set up their own banks.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The insistence by the American chief executive in the mid 18th to mid 19th century to keep separate government policy from banking policy has not been demonstrated in the communist economies of Eastern Europe. The second major crisis factor for these economies has been connected (or insider) lending, particularly in Russia. Though not unheard of in rich countries, connected lending is a more serious problem in emerging countries, where supervisors are less rigorous about rooting it out. The Economist maintains that connected lending has recently caused serious problems where unscrupulous businessmen have found it easy to set up banks simply to finance their other companies' pet projects. Thus, at many Russian banks, the personal ambitions of owners and managers still come before the prudent assessment of lending risks. Loans to related companies are rarely made on an arm's length basis and tend to be granted at below-market rates, with scant credit vetting."

Key Concerns: Central Bank Reactions
Independence Issues
From the Paper
"If free market perspectives are to be considered alone, then there is little argument against the need for central bank independence. In such a perspective, any intervention, political or otherwise, can disrupt the free market movements. At the same time, there is argument that such a degree of independence also can deter the ability of government to manage its economic growth. Another argument is that such policies put developing countries at a distinct disadvantage against more developed economies because of economies of scale.
"One of the most popular examples to illustrate the need for central bank independence is the events that led to the Great Depression. In this scenario, governments control of the country's economy, particular its investment policies affecting the monetary value of the country's currency, as a key contributing factor for the collapse. In its objective to encourage the expansion of the economy to prevent a recession because of similar recession in European markets through spending, the U.S. economy literally was not able to support expectations in the market. However, in the case of the Asian Financial Crisis, analysts now believe that it was the emphasis on liberalization encouraged policies that will eventually left governments unable to respond to kicks in inflation and maintain currency stability."

Abstract
This paper considers the arguments in favor of DNA criminal data banks and those opposed to them and then outlines suggested alternative policies for data banks. The paper concludes by noting that, while the DNA data banks may prove to be an invaluable resource to law officials, care must be taken not to violate the individual's right to privacy.
From the Paper
"DNA banking of criminal information is a source of controversy among many human rights activists. According to statistics, Criminal DNA databanks offer an effective means of controlling crime. Genetic information on criminals is being collected and stored in many states as a means of identifying current and future criminals. Statistics support the notion that collecting DNA information on criminals helps reduce crime. Case in point, the Division of Forensic Science has managed an average of 37 ?hits? per month, where hits refer to a situation where DNA analysis of a crime scene has resulted in suspect matches from previously convicted offenders and subsequent arrest (DCJS, 2004). In Virginia the DNA databank database contains more than 200,000 of criminals (DCJS, 2004)."

"Commercial Banks and Underwriting Securities
Introduction
Historically, banks in the US were relatively unregulated and control was exercised mainly by the states (Trescott, 1963). In contrast, in Europe and other developed lands, banking has been relatively centralized and controlled by the national government and/or was not a stable business, making big profits in boom times through speculation in land and industry, but often going bankrupt in recessions when "financial panics" force the calling in of loans because uneasy depositors wanted or needed to convert their savings into cash. The result invariably was a large contraction of the US money supply in the aggregate, which exacerbated any economic recession. Rural, small institutions, called "wildcat banks," were.."

The Role of Central Banks in Third World Countries, 2006.
A brief overview of the role that central banks play in the economies of third world countries.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains the primary objective of central banks in third world countries, how they benefit developing economies and how they may also present problems for developing countries. The paper also explains why central banks, even though they may be facing the gradual erosion of their status and power, will likely be needed by developing countries, albeit in a somewhat different form, for some time yet to come.
From the Paper
"Central banks in their current incarnation are quasi-governmental institutions that are operated with taxpayer dollars but have considerable independence in the performance of their duties. Their goal is to achieve financial stability, in general, and to control inflation, in particular. Their primary method is to regulate the flow of currency; their most potent tool is their authority to raise or lower interest rates. If a particular national economy is stagnant with little or no inflation, a central bank can stimulate growth by cutting interest rates and, presumably, increasing the flow of currency into the system. If an economy is growing too fast and inflation is rising, a central bank can slow things down by raising interest rates."

Abstract
This paper examines how banks and credit unions function to identify commonalities and differences, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion. The paper includes two appendices with several on-point graphs concerning credit union deposits and assets over the years, as well as a statistical table.
From the Paper
"Capital plays a key role in all economic activities in both banks and credit unions. There are some differences between the two, but the distinctions are becoming less clear. The business of banking generally consists of borrowing and lending capital. As in other businesses, operations must be based on capital, but banks employ comparatively little of their own capital in relation to the total volume of their transactions. By contrast, credit unions use the capital of its own members to make loans within the membership. This paper will examine how banks and credit unions function to identify commonalities and differences, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion."
