This volume introduces a new database covering bank regulation in over 150 countries, included on an accompanying CD. It provides the first comprehensive cross-country analysis of how bank regulation affects bank operations. The book also evaluates the validity of the Basel Committee's influential regulatory framework. Furthermore, it empirically examines the historical debate on the government's role in the economy through the lens of bank regulation and explores the influence of politics on banking regulatory approaches.
