Categories: Banking & Finance

When this book first appeared in 1986, revolutionary advances in telecommunications, automation, and computer technology had already brought major changes to the financial industry -- changes that provided new opportunities for financial markets, but also posed new challenges for regulators charged with monitoring and governing those markets. How had new technologies affected financial markets and their regulation? Here are answers from those who knew the issues best. Some of the specific issues addressed include: the responses of the Securities and Exchange Commission to new technology applications; innovations in market surveillance and enforcement; the changing structure of the securities brokerage industry; and the impact of improved trading floor technology, among others.
