What is the net contribution of the Basel Process to the governance of global finance? The goal of this paper is to describe, analyze, and evaluate the costs and benefits of the Basel Capital Adequacy Accords through the comparison of intended consequences, namely the stability of the global banking system, and unintended consequences, namely financial risks. “Basel Process” refers to the governing attempts of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in the global financial system, as well
has been attributed to the lack of effective banking oversight, there has been immense pressure on the next Basel agreement to tackle such issues in order to avoid future crises, or at least decrease their severity. In essence, the Basel accords mainly intend to gauge the level of capital required to protect banks against risks related to their assets. As a result, the latest accord, Basel III, has substantially increased the capital requirements of banks and introduced other features as an effort
Following the financial crisis of 2008 – 2009, the Basel Committee of Banking Supervision (BCBS) extensively revised the existing capital adequacy guidelines. The resultant capital adequacy framework is called Basel III. In a paper published by KPMG entitled Basel III: Issues and Implications Basel III proposal had two main objectives: • To strengthen global capital and liquidity regulations with the goal of promoting a more resilient banking sector • To improve the banking sector’s ability to absorb
literature available on the additional procyclicality of regulatory capital charges in Pillar 1 of Basel II. In this section, we shall briefly visit this literature and see if any conclusions can be drawn from this, before proceeding to the conclusion and mitigation of these procyclical effects. The majority of the literature, as expected, focuses primarily on the IRB approach, as this aspect of Basel II has drawn the most criticism from financial practitioners and academics alike. The greater part
Leonhard Euler was born in Basel, Switzerland on 15 April 1707. His father, Paul Euler, studied theology at the University of Basel. Paul Euler became a Protestant minister and married Margaret Brucker. Leonhard Euler was born in Basel, but the family moved to Riehen when he was a one year old. It was in Riehen, not far from Basel, that Leonhard was raised. Paul Euler had a college education and, in turn, had some mathematical training. He was able to teach his son elementary mathematics along with

reading; and some of Shakespeare's lines are an echo of Erasmus. In 1529 religious dissension drove him from Basel and he took refuge at Freiburg in the Breisgau, which was still untouched by the Reformation. There he worked on, in the intervals of severe illness; his courage never failed him and he was comforted by the affection of his friends. In 1535 he returned again to Basel, to be at hand in the printing of a work on preaching, the Ecclesiastes, to which he had given his recent efforts;
Leonhard Euler A world relying so heavily on technology was not something that anyone hundreds of years ago could have predicted. In today’s modern society, computers can be seen practically everywhere. Computers can be programmed to do an unimaginable list of things, making them one of the most useful technologies. However, the people that use them seem to forget that the backbone of computers and technology is math. Mathematics is one of the core subjects that are associated with computing, and
On November 1, 1986, a catastrophic fire at a Sandoz Ltd. storehouse on the the edge of Rhine river, outside of Basel, Switzerland set over 1250 tons of toxic chemicals ablaze. Basel is the third most populous city in Switzerland with almost 200,000 inhabitants. This city is located where the Swiss, French, and German borders meet and on the Rhine river. The research and manufacturing done at Sandoz Ltd. chemical plant consisted of chemicals and dyes for the textile, leather, rubber, and plastic
The Life of Euler There is no argument that one of the greatest mathematicians of all time came out of Switzerland in the Eighteenth Century, by the name of Leonhard Euler (1707-1783). Switzerland was the birthplace to many pioneers in mathematics during this time, but Leonhard Euler is widely thought of as the most significant of them all. Euler’s many publications had a decisive influence on the development of mathematics, such an influence that it is still being felt to this day. He worked
Jacob Bernoulli was born on the 27th of December, 1654, to Niklaus and Margarethe Bernoulli, in Basel, Switzerland. He initially abided by his father’s wishes and studied theology, eventually joining the ministry, but also chose to study both mathematics and astronomy on the side. From the ages of 22 to 28, he traveled throughout Europe, learning about the most recent advances in mathematics and the natural sciences, including recent discoveries by Boyle and Hooke. It was through extended communication
Leonhard Euler was an outstanding mathematician. He was born on April 15, 1707 in the old city of Basel in Switzerland. His father Paul Euler was a Calvinist priest and an amateur mathematician. His early education and training was based on theology and related subjects. Because his father wants him to become a priest. That’s why he entered the University of Basel to study theology and Hebrew. At the age thirteen, he graduated from the University in philosophy major. Fortunately, famous University
800 works in mathematical analysis, graph theory, numbers theory, mechanics, infinitesimal calculus, music theory etc. Most of his works significantly influenced the development of mathematics. L. Euler was born in Basel, Switzerland 15 April 1707. He graduated from the University of Basel where he received a Master in Philosophy. Johann Bernoulli, one of the leading mathematicians of 18 century and Euler’s teacher, had a huge impact on the development of Euler, believing that he will be a great mathematician
mathematician born on April 15, 1707 in Basel, Switzerland. His parents were Paul Euler and Marguerite Brucker. Euler had two sisters,named Anna Maria and Maria Magdalena, and he was raised in a religious family and would be a faithful calvinist for the rest of his life because of his father being a priest of the Reformed Church and his mother being raised by a dad who was a pastor. Soon after Leonhard Euler was born, his parents moved from Basel to Riehen. His early education

A date that may have little connotation in the minds of history students everywhere was, in fact, the date that gave birth to a man more brave than any comic book could ever illustrate. On October 28, 1466, Desiderius Erasmus was born the illegitimate son of Margaretha Rogers and Gerard in Rotterdam, Holland. Despite such a dull and seemingly trite birth, Erasmus would grow to be a great influence in the Renaissance era. Through the questioning of established people and institutions, such as modern
In Praise of Folly – This is, to put it mildly, a satirical work from 1509 that has Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam as its author. To give a general overview of this excerpt, it is a humorous attack on various groups such as the clergy, the monastics, and the theologians of the medieval period and into the beginning years of the Reformation. Erasmus is a member of the Church of Rome, although his attitude in this piece suggests that he is ashamed to be so. The first group that he pokes fun at
