For the wealthiest Americans, the federal estate tax can destroy almost half of their wealth. Because of the special tax treatment of death benefits, life insurance has been used for many years to mitigate the impact of estate taxes. This paper looks at actual life insurance holdings to determine if there is evidence that life insurance is being used for this purpose. The results suggest that life insurance is being used for estate tax purposes and this motivates modeling of wealth accumulation impacted by estate taxes. The intent of the model is to show how changes in the estate tax and/or tax treatment of life insurance would change the accumulation of wealth by individuals. This modeling is important, as new estate tax reforms are likely given that the current reforms expire at the end of 2010.","PeriodicalId":315176,"journal":{"name":"Banking & Insurance","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128344481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Operational Risk, which can be defined briefly as the risk generated by possible failures of a entity's Information Systems (IS), must be measured, covered, mitigated and managed by applying a series of methodologies, each of which assumes that the IS of the bank operates at a certain Stage of Sophistication. The present study proposes a scheme of evolution that details the stages of enhancement in the sophistication of their IS that banking entities may implement, so as to be capable of capturing, mitigating and managing Operational Risk. Using econometric methods, we create a proxy variable to capture the IS Sophistication of each entity. Then, the factor of entity size has been analyzed, and the country effect is explored. Additionally, the importance of intangible assets is weighted, among others entity aspects. The entity size has been revealed as the variable with most influence on the plans formulated in this respect by European entities, against other variables also considered in the present study, such as the country effect or the importance of intangible assets. The work shows how IS decisions referring to Operational Risk management are very influenced by size. It could introduce competition differences in the European banking system.","PeriodicalId":315176,"journal":{"name":"Banking & Insurance","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"119737425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a new retirement investment strategy using Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) and longevity insurance products that would permit annual withdrawal rates in excess of 5% without any risk of ruin; this strategy does not require retirees to irrevocably commit their entire savings in an annuity at retirement. The strategy can be implemented at minimal cost by retirees and their financial advisers. Institutional providers can adapt this strategy to design and develop products that provide inflation adjusted lifetime annuities, while allowing retirees to retain control over most of their savings in retirement.","PeriodicalId":315176,"journal":{"name":"Banking & Insurance","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132602937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the major source of funding for Chinese enterprises (especially state-owned enterprises), the banking sector has helped finance the nation’s transformation from a centrally planned economy to a market-oriented economy. In the meantime, large amounts of nonperforming loans have accumulated on the balance sheets of Chinese banks, partly due to the cost of reform, partly due to poor management and inadequate regulation. In 1999, four asset management corporations were established to resolve the nonperforming loan problem. As stated by the State Council, these asset management corporations would cease operation by the end of 2009. It is therefore of interest to examine the progress they have made in disposing of nonperforming loans. In this paper, the author attempts to draw a picture of how the nonperforming loan problem has developed since the mid-1990s, provide an estimate of the total nonperforming loans held by Chinese financial institutions, and assess to what extent these bad assets might pose a threat to the country’s financial stability.","PeriodicalId":315176,"journal":{"name":"Banking & Insurance","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125443921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The essence of this activity has not changed almost at all since the earlier times when the banking activity was practised.

In this paper we try to answer some basic questions regarding banks and banking activity in the light of the recently passed law \"On Banks in the Republic of Albania\".

Hence, banks might need to raise their short run historical average of internal PD substantially. Under through-the-cycle rating system, they might have to increase it even more when the economy is in booming period. With more realistic assumption of credit migration, however, we find that gaps are much smaller in many cases.

In response, financial regulators require financial institutions to base their capital on the 'Downturn' loss rate given default which is also known as Downturn LGD. This article proposes a concept for the Downturn LGD which incorporates econometric properties of credit risk as well as the information content of default and loss given default models. The concept is compared to an alternative proposal by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Insurance Corporation.

After that, 6-months specific short-term deposit has second ranking and so on. The interesting finding is that primary research of Bank which has done before shows that 6-months specific short-term deposit has third ranking and general short-term deposit account is second.
