Here is some
information on my book
Financial Privacy
An International Comparison of
Credit Reporting Systems
This book provides the first
in-depth analysis of the economics and regulation of
financial privacy. It is an international comparison
of credit reporting systems in the United States and
in European countries. On the theoretical level the
book explains competition in information markets,
especially in markets for goods made of highly
personal and sensitive information. It reviews the
microeconomics of information and privacy and
discusses the economic incentives to disclose or to
conceal information. The book also focuses on the
institutions of credit reporting, the history of
credit reporting agencies and the regulation of
privacy and credit reporting on both sides of the
Atlantic as well as internationally. Finally, on the
empirical level, it reviews the microeconomic and
potential macroeconomic effects of credit reporting in
the credit markets of countries around the world.
Written for:
Scholars and policymakers in
financial regulation, credit reporting, and financial
privacy
