While it would be natural to expect that Basel II would align capital measures by allowing banks to use some of their own risk management data and models, this is not necessarily the case. The pillars of Basel are: 1. minimum capital requirements, 2. supervisory review process, and 3. market discipline. As banks implement Basel II, they are encountering some challenges with respect to capital reporting. Some key ones are: 1. Regulatory minimum capital amounts differ from economic capital. 2. Capital calculated from financial systems data differs from capital coming from risk systems data. 3. Multiple capital measures make planning and management more complex. Bank management accounting and reporting units will need to understand the differences in the capital measures and educate manage...

[Elaine Marshall] says "errors are fairly obvious to many of us" in the administration of the death penalty. If the death penalty "were a product," Marshall says, "and there were as many variables and now substantiated errors as there are in the capital process, there would be a manufacturers' recall.
Marshall says the case of Alan Gell, a former death row inmate who was later found innocent, "has given us ample reasons why North Carolina should step back and do serious evaluation, research, dialogue" regarding the death penalty process. "We should do nothing less than the two-year moratorium."
This shouldn't get into whether you're for or against the death penalty," he says. "We as North Carolinians, we have the death penalty. All right, if we have the death penalty, then we've got t...

This case involves a need for a decision regarding a large capital expenditure. Students will find that capital planning involves not only the use of accepted capital budgeting techniques, but also a considerable impact based on staff viewpoints that reflect their particular department's biases. Also explicitly presented are multiple levels of investment worth based on alternative, realistic assumptions. Students can verify IRR and payback calculations using Excel, and they will see that capital budgeting involves fragile forecasts and biases that managers bring to the analytical process.

The Special Committee identified three major sources of trial errors: prosecutors and defense attorneys who were poorly prepared to try a capital case, often due to general inexperience or limited involvement with serious felony cases; prosecutors who did not comply fully with the disclosure requirements established in Brady v. Maryland (1963) and subsequent cases; and inadequate judicial supervision and control of the capital-trial process.

Though constructed with different purposes, the theory of constraints and activity based costing systems pose a choice problem in respect of product mix decisions. We believe that the existing explanation of short versus long run criterion to explain firms' choice between these two systems is incomplete and offer an alternate explanation based on asset specificity. We argue that the extent to which specialized resources are deployed to make products in a mix determines the choice. We present a 2*2 matrix stating that when asset specificity is high, a firm is likely to choose ABC instead of TOC since ABC makes a large portion of costs visible to enable control. However, the choice is likely to be a TOC-ABC combination when the manufacture of asset specific products is also constrained by...

This paper offers a critique of the ideas of the "transnational capitalist class" and "transnational state" advanced by William Robinson. It argues that the concepts and their theoretical underpinning are fundamentally flawed, and therefore that the idea of the "transnational state" should be abandoned.
