In reaction to the recent financial crisis, increased attention has recently been given to financial transaction taxes (FTTs) as a means of (1) raising revenue for a variety of possible purposes and/or (2) helping to curb financial market excesses. This paper reviews existing theory and evidence on the efficacy of an FTT in fulfilling those tasks, on its potential impact, and on key issues to be faced in designing taxes of this kind.

This study examines the effect of financial-sector reform on bank performance in selected Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries in the period 1994 -2008. We evaluate bank efficiency in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Lebanon and Tunisia by means of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and we employ a meta-frontier approach to calculate efficiency scores in a cross-country setting. We then employ a second-stage regression to investigate the impact of institutional, financial, and bank specific variables on bank efficiency. Overall, the analysis shows that, despite similarities in the process of financial reforms undertaken in the five MENA countries, the observed efficiency levels of banks vary substantially across markets, with Morocco consistently outperforming the rest of the region.Differences in technology seem to be crucial in explaining efficiency differences. To foster banking sector performance, policies should be aimed at giving banks incentives to improve their risk management and portfolio management techniques. Improvements in the legal system and in the regulatory and supervisory bodies would also help to reduce inefficiency.

In zijn inaugurele rede tot hoogleraar Competition Economics and Regulation, vestigt Maarten Pieter Schinkel de aandacht op hoe de markttoezichthouders kunnen verworden tot een pion in het spel tussen de machtige bedrijven. Aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de speltheorie, kunstmatige intelligentie, Pac-Man en het forensisch bewijs verkregen door middel van undercover surveillance, stelt Schinkel dat het weldegelijk mogelijk is een onafhankelijk markttoezicht te ontwikkelen. In zijn rede stelt hij dat de markttoezichthouders een sterke mate van bevoegdheden moeten hebben om creatief om te kunnen
