Lors de la préparation du passage à l’euro, le Comité pour l’histoire économique et financière de la France a souhaité accompagner cet événement monétaire par une série de conférences intitulée « Les Français et leur monnaie : le louis, le franc, l’euro et les autres ». Cinq historiens de renom - Jean Favier, Guy Antonetti, Jean Tulard, Alain Plessis et Jean-Charles Asselain - ont répondu à l’invitation en offrant aux auditeurs une réflexion sur la monnaie en France du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Une table ronde, réunissant Raymond Barre, Jacques Delors et plusieurs hauts fonctionnaires acteurs des réformes monétaires des trente dernières années, ainsi qu’une allocution de Laurent Fabius, alors ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de l’Industrie, ont clôturé ce cycle le 18 février 2002, lendemain du retrait de la monnaie nationale. Ces textes accessibles au plus grand nombre, accompagnés de glossaires et d’une chronologie détaillée, offrent des points de repère précis sur l’histoire de la monnaie depuis la naissance du franc en 1360 jusqu’à l’avènement de l’euro. Ces interventions soulignent l’importance de la monnaie comme instrument économique et financier et comme symbole et outil politiques. Elles rappellent également les conséquences des évolutions monétaires successives sur la vie quotidienne des Français. Cet ouvrage, préfacé par Thierry Breton ministre de l’Économie, des Finances et de l’Industrie, intéressera aussi bien les étudiants en histoire économique et financière que les numismates, et plus largement tous ceux qui auront connu la fin du franc.

In this Open-Access-book three essays on empirical asset pricing in international equity markets are presented. Despite being of fundamental economic and scientific importance, international financial markets have remained considerably underresearched until today. In the first essay, the role of firm-specific characteristics is analyzed for the momentum effect to exist in international equity markets. The second essay investigates the validity, persistence, and robustness of the newly discovered capital share growth factor across international equity markets as proposed by Lettau and others (2019) for the U.S. market. Lastly, the third and final essay studies stock market reactions of European vendor banks to distressed loan sale announcements.

“Switzerland has always been a haven of stability and security. But the Swiss financial marketplace is in the midst of immense changes brought on by the changing global environment. Whether you are a Swiss banker or a Swiss banking client, this book will serve you as an indispensable companion and guide to the Finanzplatz Schweiz.” --Guy Spier, Value Invester, Switzerland This open access book provides a thorough explanation of Swiss financial markets and the banking secrecy rules for which this country has become known. It covers key topics, which are essential for practitioners and academics to understand about this powerhouse in world financial markets, in general, and private wealth administration, in particular. If there were an overriding goal, it would be to answer this question: “How could a small country in the middle of Europe and surrounded by economic and financial giants, like Germany and France, develop financial markets that are globally competitive?” Swiss Finance explains the dramatic pressures brought to bear on the Swiss financial markets during past two decades, perhaps none of them so great as the competitive challenges caused by changes in Switzerland's banking secrecy laws and practices, as well the shifting tide of new wealth generation toward Asia (e.g., China, Singapore, and South Korea) and large emerging markets. In doing so, it separates myth from reality, providing an excellent basis for predicting future changes the nation will need to make in order to stay competitive. Henri B.
