Op-Ed: The Gap in the U.S. Treasury Recommendations http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5923.html U.S. Treasury recommendations for strengthening the regulation of the financial system are a good start but fall short, says Harvard Business School professor emeritus Dwight B. Crane. Here's his suggestion for bringing regulation into the 21st century. Working paper: An Exploration of Technology Diffusion http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5918.html Download the PDF. How long are technology adoption lags? Can cross-country differences in technology adoption lags account for a significant fraction of cross-country GDP disparities? Diego Comin of Harvard Business School and Bart Hobijn of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York develop a new benchmark to understand the diffusion process of individual technologies and the consequences that this has for aggregate growth. As they found, adoption lags are large. On average, countries have adopted technologies 47 years after their invention. Working paper: Bank Accounting Standards in MexicoA Layman's Guide to Changes 10 Years after the 1995 Bank Crisis http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5913.html Download the PDF. Mexico was the first emerging market compelled to reformulate the financial reporting of its banks as a result of a financial crisis. In the last decade, Mexico has undergone a process of internationalization of its banking industry. Today, more than 80 percent of the equity of Mexican banks belongs to internationally active bank corporations. This internationalization demands more transparent regulation, including standardized accounting rules and better disclosure of information. The case of Mexico can therefore serve as an example of the relevance of these changes, as well as of their scope and limitations, according to Harvard Business School's Aldo Musacchio and colleagues.
