Item An analysis of the LDC bank loan market in light of two major defaults(Texas Tech University, 1997-05) Danisoglu, SezaIn this study, the focus will be on the consequential effects of such crises from the point of view of commercial banks that are involved in the lending process. An analysis will be carried out to learn the effects of the debt crisis on the Third World bank loan market. Specific questions will be asked as to the types of structural changes that take place when lending transforms into a crisis situation, and the impact of such crises on the market valuation of commercial banks. The main purpose of the research will be to identify the changes, if any, in the behavioral patterns of the commercial banks in the foreign debt market, after this market was struck in the early 1980s by a wave of worldwide defaults and moratoria by the Third World borrowers.Item Essays on intermediation, the payments system and monetary policy implementation(2005) Ghwee, Justen Rene Kok Lye; Kendrick, David A.; Paal, BeatrixItem Federal reserve membership, bank size and bank location: their effects on selected operating ratios and profitability of Texas commercial banks.(Texas Tech University, 1975-05) Hubbard, Carl MasonNot availableItem Financial forecasting in commercial banks: an industry survey(Texas Tech University, 1979-05) Giroux, Gary AlanNot availableItem First Wichita National Bank and office building(Texas Tech University, 1983-04) Baker, Michael B.First Wichita National Bank is faced with a problem—lack of space.

This thesis focuses on international money laundering, one of the most destructive and widespread crimes. Generally, the essay reviews the elements of money laundering and presents a theory of corruption. Specifically, it discusses the techniques and methods used to launder money, economic impact, countermeasures, and a theory establishing corruption as the primary facilitator of international money laundering. To date, no attempt has been made to establish this link. By studying corruption's role in international money laundering, better methods may be devised to control and limit the laundering of funds, which may be of interest to policy makers and law enforcement officials. To support this theory, a comparison is made between Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories (NCCT) and those countries believed to have corrupt public officials. Data, employed in this study, includes the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), developing country rankings, and Governance Research Indicator Country Snapshot (GRICS). Once compared, the results provide overwhelming evidence that corrupt public officials assist in the illegal act of money laundering. Public officials do this by providing criminals an environment where they are less likely to get caught.Item Performance homogeneity among strategic groups' constant member firm sets and shifting member firm sets in the banking industry(Texas Tech University, 1994-05) Dixon, Rolf DavidThis study focused on performance implications of strategic group membership. The research to date on this issue has been inconsistent. Specifically, this study investigated potential sources of statistical variation relative to strategic groups and performance. The context of this study is the banking industry and it investigates the impact of firm tenure and the industry environment on the strategic groups in the industry. To consider the relative impact of firm tenure in a strategic group, two five year time periods were selected and for each time period, all strategic groups were partitioned in subgroups of constant member firms and shifting member firms. Further, to investigate the impact of the industry environment, the time periods were selected to reflect environmental stability and instability. The major findings of this study are: 1) The firms which maintained their strategic group membership out-performed those firms that shifted group membership; 2) Strategic groups expanded in number during periods of industry environmental stability and contracted during periods of industry environmental instability; 3) Strategic group membership predicts performance better during periods of industry environmental stability than during periods of instability.Item Theoretical Issues in International Lending to Developing Countries by Private Financial Institutions(Texas Tech University, 1987-05) Kang, ChoeljoonNot Available.Item Topics in money and banking(2003-08) Chang, Peter Hsiao-pen, 1975-; Freeman, Sco
