From the author: This article examines the market expectations of the proposed accounting changes for stock-based compensation in the exposure draft that preceded the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123. The exposure draft made recommendations that significantly differed from current practice. Affected firms expressed concern that the proposed changes would drastically reduce their reported earnings. This could lead to firms becoming less attractive to capital sources (resulting in higher costs of capital) and firms refraining from using stock options to attract talented managers and entrepreneurs. The market test shows that affected firms experienced negative security market prices contemporaneous with issuance of the exposure draft. Cross-sectional analyses indicate that the magnitude of price decline is associated with measures of high risk and less mature firms.

From the supplier: Closer financial relationships among countries resulting from the liberalization of trade in goods, services and financial and capital flows present a growing threat of international economic crisis. This is fueling a debate over the means available to contain and resolve global turmoil and over the ways in which countries can protect themselves from its consequences. There are a number of issues that need to be addressed for the orderly management of international capital flows. These include determining what individual countries can do to cope with these volatile flows and developing generally accepted norms and procedures for effective capital liberalization. Such norms may be guided by principles of international relationships, such as a principle of temporary international acceptance of restrictive measures and a provision to allow countries to resort temporarily to controls.

From the supplier: In some countries a foreign currency has replaced the domestic one to perform the functions of money. This phenomenon is known as "currency substitution" (CS). This paper explores the relationship between CS and inflationary finance in an overlapping generations model in which CS is an endogenous equilibrium outcome. I describe when CS may emerge and show that CS may be a purely expectational phenomenon. I use the model to discuss the welfare effects of inflation and the effects of policies that deal directly with CS. (Printed by permission of the publisher.)

From the author: This article argues that international financial markets could take declining net U.S. Treasury debt in stride under normal circumstances. First, declining net U.S. government debt does not force U.S. Treasuries to be retired. Instead, Asia-Pacific governments have established or sustained government securities markets despite fiscal surpluses. Second, developments in the U.S. dollar money market show that fixed income markets can generate their own private benchmarks. Finally, the world's central banks are well along in shifting their portfolios away from U.S. Treasury to other instruments. Questions remain about market functioning under stress without the typhoon harbor that Treasury securities have provided.

An Absolutely Essential Source of Information and Counsel.......2004-07-29
This is the Fourth Edition of an exceptionally valuable book which was first published in 1991. Weiss has updated his material to accommodate new laws, regulations, and court decisions which are directly relevant to discrimination and EEOC guidelines, employee verification and security, technology issues, sexual harassment, negligent hiring practices, management of people with disabilities, affirmative action, discipline and termination policies and procedures, defamation, violations of privacy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, evaluations and promotions, sex and age discrimination, and labor law.
As is also true of previous editions, the subtitle correctly indicates that Weiss explains "safe hiring, managing & firing practices to keep you & your company out of court." He organizes the material as follows:
Part I Safe Hiring Practices [re recruiting, interviewing, and employment decisions]
Part II Safe Management Practices [re evaluations and promotions, preventing sex discrimination and sexual harassment on the job, employee action laws and labor rights]
Part III Safe Firing Practices [re discipline and firing practices, public policy, management of older employees]
With Weiss's guidance, it is possible for the decision-makers in any company to complete what amounts to a comprehensive "audit" of any and all areas in which that company could be vulnerable to litigation. Of at least equal importance, the same "audit" will help the company to determine precisely what its obligations are as an employer as well as what the legal rights of each employees are.
Perhaps it would be helpful to those who read this commentary if I now provide a brief excerpt which is representative of the quality of Weiss?s counsel throughout the entire book. I have deliberately selected an especially troublesome area, one which has been the focal point of countless lawsuits: Employee Performance Evaluation. According to Weiss: ?Subjective rating systems in themselves are not illegal. The EEOC and the courts recognize subjective job standards such as communication and leadership skills) and that the words [in italics] good, satisfactory, poor, and unsatisfactory [end italics] carry within them subjective elements. So where do they draw the line?
1. When standards are unequally applied or do not exist at all; and
2. When someone shows that the standards or their absence produces disparate treatment in promotion and compensation policies, as for example:
? When sex stereotyping tainted the process by which a woman was denied a partnership in a [major] accounting firm or
? When subjective decision making torpedoed promotion policies that have disparate impact on minorities.
EEOC and court rulings encourage objective performance appraisals, but they discourage using them as a subterfuge for discrimination.?
Weiss devotes all of Chapter 6 to explaining HOW to formulate policies and procedures so that all evaluations and promotions are ?safe.? That is, they are in full compliance with all applicable regulatory laws, rules, and regulations.
Throughout this brilliant book, as Weiss rigorously and thoroughly examines hiring, managing, and firing practices which are both ethical and legal, he explains What You Can Do and What You Cannot Do. However, with all due respect to Weiss, qualified legal counsel should be consulted to ensure that all of a company's policies and procedures are "fair, square & legal." One of the many value-added benefits of this updated edition is that Weiss identifies a number of ?Cases? at the end of each chapter to which his readers and their legal counsel are referred. There are 17 cited at the end of Chapter 6.
An organization?s policies and procedures concerning employment law must then be carefully explained to all of its employees as well as contained within an employee manual. If at all possible, the same policies and procedures should be readily available online. Of course, they must be rigorously and consistently enforced. Even so, there may yet be frivolous lawsuits but at least the company has done everything possible to prevent them and is thus much better prepared to obtain a favorable decision in a court of law if and when involved in litigation.

Book Description
"Middle and executive managers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, frequently violate the law and get themselves and their companies into deep trouble. Only carefully crafted, enforceable (and enforced) policies, and ongoing training can provide safe methods for managing in a diverse workplace." --From the Preface
It's a fact that employees today have more legal rights than ever before--and they're more willing to sue if they think those rights have been violated. It's also a fact that this can spell trouble (with a capital "T") for you and your company. If you're not aware of the innumerable risks surrounding every interaction with someone who works for you, you're opening yourself up to potential legal problems--and all their associated costs.
So there couldn't be a better time for a new edition of FAIR, SQUARE & LEGAL, the classic guide that's been helping managers stay out of legal hot water for almost a decade. Now completely updated and revised to reflect new regulations and court decisions, FAIR, SQUARE & LEGAL is the perfect antidote to an increasingly litigious workplace.
You'll find the most current information on a variety of legal concerns surrounding: * New EEOC guidelines and the confusions they create * new legislation governing team formation * new court decisions regarding sexual harassment * defamation and violation of privacy * recruitment and hiring * evaluations and promotions * discipline and firing * affirmative action issues (including the ramifications of Proposition 209) * negligent hiring practices * managing people with disabilities * the Family and Medical Leave Act, and other issues.
But despite its subject, FAIR, SQUARE & LEGAL is not full of legalistic jargon. What it is full of is clear, concise jargon-free language, definitions of important terms, practical guidelines for what to say and do, fictionalized stories that illustrate both problems and solutions, and actual case studies of precedent-setting court decisions. This book is exactly what you need to treat your employees fairly and keep yourself and your company out of court--or at least defend your actions if you do wind up there.

This Book Could Save Your Organization.......2001-01-05
For small-to-midsize companies competing in a litigious society, this book is more than a "must read": it is an absolutely essential source of information to which decision-makers (especially owners) of such companies should constantly refer. The term "frivolous lawsuit" is really a misnomer. Check a reputable dictionary of synonyms and you will learn that the word frivolous connotes "trivial, trifling, piddling, unimportant, insignificant, inconsiderable, petty, and paltry." On the contrary, an adverse decision resulting from a so-called frivolous lawsuit can destroy a company which has limited resources...or at least create truly serious problems for it, most of which are preventable.
The subtitle of Weiss's book correctly indicates that he explains "safe hiring, managing & firing practices to keep you & your company out of court." He organizes the material as follows:
Part I Safe Hiring Practices [re recruiting, interviewing, and employment decisions]
Part II Safe Management Practices [re evaluations and promotions, preventing sex discrimination and sexual harassment on the job, employee action laws and labor rights]
Part III Safe Firing Practices [re discipline and firing practices, public policy, management of older employees]
With Weiss's guidance, it is possible for the decision-makers in any company to complete what amounts to a comprehensive "audit" of any and all areas in which that company could be vulnerable to litigation. Of at least equal importance, the same "audit" will help the company to determine precisely what its obligations are as an employer as well as what the legal rights of its employees are.
Ultimately, with all due respect to Weiss, qualified legal counsel should be consulted to ensure that all of a company's policies and procedures are "fair, square & legal." They must then be explained to all employees. Finally, they must be rigorously and consistently enforced. Even so, there may yet be frivolous lawsuits but at least the company has done everything possible to prevent them and is thus much better prepared to obtain a favorable decision in a court of law.
