Patrick Bolton, Mathias Dewatripont

The MIT Press, 2005

The Best Book on Contract Theory

The Prudential Regulation of Banks

1 review
Mathias Dewatripont, Jean Tirole

The MIT Press, 1994

a handy guide book to study banks' corporate governance

Although it does not provide any analysis of statutes or codes of banking laws, the model is simple enough to consider any rules in banking ...
