Over the last few years, the cost of providing electronic payment services has fallen, so much so that, in many cases, payment providers can offer consumers incentives to use their electronic instruments while still lowering merchants' overall cost of handling these payments. Consumers are responding. The shift away from paper payments, promised at the dawn of the computer age, seems to be finally gaining momentum. Two forces are working to accelerate the trend. First, electronic payment instruments, such as credit, debit, and point-of-sale cards, are becoming more and more widely accepted, and network economies are likely to lead consumers and businesses to use and accept these competing instruments more and more often. Second, recent legislation, known as Check 21, helps set the stage...

Harold J Borak Sr had owned and run an independent insurance agency in California since 1970. Effective January 1, he sold his major share of Valley Insurance Services, located in the Los Angeles suburb of Covina, but he is staying on to manage the firm at least through next year.

Four Eastern European economies joined Poland in streamlining bankruptcy procedures. Latvia passed a new insolvency law in November 2007. Now financially distressed companies can choose to continue operating by pursuing reorganization. Like Poland, Latvia also tightened the qualification standards for bankruptcy administrators. So did Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Czech Republic's Insolvency Act took effect on January 1, 2008. The law introduces reorganization as the preferred method for resolving insolvency, mandates stricter deadlines, establishes an electronic insolvency register and sets new qualification standards for trustees. Expanding creditors' rights has been the most popular reform feature over the past 5 years (figure 11.5). Seventeen economies have empowered creditors: China,...

Members of the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority deserve credit for being upbeat about the future of the Brunswick Naval Air Station property after the Navy starts to pull out next year. With plans for housing, retail and creative industrial uses alongside public amenities like open space and a community college campus, the base closure almost sounds like good news.
In recent years foreign direct investment in developing nations has come under threat by government policies seeking to expropriate or nationalize the assets of foreign corporations. A variety of political and economic motivations have given rise to expropriation activities. This paper examines both the political, economic and legal basis underpinning these expropriation activities and outlines a corporate risk management strategy designed to confront these emerging political/economic threats.
