This principle strikes at the core of the debate over which jurisdiction should be in charge of the insolvency proceedings of international companies. Universalists argue in favor of centralizing proceedings in one single jurisdiction, while territorialists believe that each jurisdiction should govern the assets located in its territory. This Column argues that the Rule in Gibbs has been mistakenly lumped together with territorialism. It questions both the efficiency and the moral rationales for favoring universalism over the Rule in Gibbs. In doing so, it opens the way for the Rule in Gibbs to be given more serious consideration by scholars and policymakers in this normative debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VOLUME 15 \u2022 COLUMNS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/hblr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2025\/03\/10_HLB_15_1_Wu349-362.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BASEL III ENDGAME: SHOULD WE STRENGTHEN CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS FOR BANKS?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nick Wu<sup class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote \" data-mfn=\"2\" data-mfn-post-scope=\"00000000000001fb0000000000000000_5191\"><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"  role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-describedby=\"mfn-content-00000000000001fb0000000000000000_5191-2\">2<\/a><\/sup><span id=\"mfn-content-00000000000001fb0000000000000000_5191-2\" role=\"tooltip\" class=\"modern-footnotes-footnote__note\" tabindex=\"0\" data-mfn=\"2\">J.D.

And the health of the banking system largely depends on the level of bank capital. Therefore, since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, regulators have been working on a supervisory framework\u2014aptly named \u201cBasel III endgame\u201d\u2014that would strengthen capital requirements for banks. An initial proposal was released in July 2023, followed by a re-proposal in September 2024. Both have generated a lot of discourse and vehement support and opposition. Supporters argue that strengthening capital requirements would mitigate risk and help prevent financial panics, but critics are quick to point out that doing so would hurt banks\u2019 profitability while raising borrowing costs. After analyzing policy arguments on both sides, this piece will make a normative argument that Basel III endgame should be further rolled back and will also briefly explore the future (or lack thereof) of Basel III endgame under President Trump\u2019s second administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VOLUME 14 \u2022 ISSUE 2 \u2022 PRINT<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/hblr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2024\/10\/05_HBLR_14_2_Christian-Parajon-Skinner.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PRIVATIZING DEPOSIT INSURANCE<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Christina Parajon Skinner<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>For the past 90 years, the federal government has provided insurance to bank depositors against the risk of loss associated with a bank\u2019s failure. In many ways, this insurance scheme\u2014managed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (\u201cFDIC\u201d)\u2014is the bedrock of banking law. FDIC insurance aims to preempt bank runs by ensuring that depositors remain confident in the security of their funds, even when turbulent times hit. In practice, however, FDIC insurance has suffered from one key design flaw\u2014it has never managed to reconcile the tradeoffs between the moral hazard it produces and the financial stability it ensures. In large part, this is due to policymakers\u2019 inability to credibly commit to maintaining the limits on insurance payouts that Congress statutorily sets. Over the past forty years, the cap has consistently been lifted to protect uninsured depositors in each successive banking crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VOLUME 14 \u2022 ISSUE 2 \u2022 PRINT<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/hblr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2024\/10\/02_HLB_14_2_Gary-B.-Gorton-Jeffery-Y.-Zhang.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BANK RUNS DURING CRYPTO WINTER<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gary B.

After several of the largest U.S. financial institutions successfully lobbied to roll back the Rule, the rollback inspired intense criticism, but the critiques have not accurately reflected what is really at stake for the banks or the public. While the Rule was sold as an anti-bailout measure, this Article argues that the Rule would have been ineffective as a means of preventing further bailouts of systematically important bank holding companies. The Article further argues that the primary reason systematically important bank holding companies care about the Rule is that it costs more to fund these swaps if they are booked at a different legal entity, such as a broker-dealer, rather than at a bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VOLUME 5 \u2022 COLUMNS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/hblr\/\/2015\/08\/why-the-lack-of-interest-in-interest-another-look-at-preferences-and-secured-creditors\/\"><strong>WHY THE LACK OF INTEREST IN INTEREST?

Herding can thus produce negative externalities. And in such situations, individuals by definition have insufficient incentives to separate from the herd. But the traditional regulatory response to externality problems is to impose across-the-board mandates. Command-and-control regulation tends to displace one pooling equilibrium by moving behavior to a new, mandated pool. Mortgage regulators, for example, might respond to an unregulated equilibrium where most homeowners start with 2% down by imposing a requirement that causes most homeowners instead to place 10% down. But this Article shows that society can at times be better off if regulation induces separating behaviors by regulated entities. We evaluate a variety of mechanisms including licenses, subsidies, and regulatory variances as well as regulatory menus and heterogeneous altering rules that can incentivize a limited number of regulated entities to take the path less chosen. Anti-herding regulation provides a new means to attend to ways that mimicry can both suppress the production of information and exacerbate systemic risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VOLUME 4 \u2022 ISSUE 1 \u2022 PRINT<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/hblr\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2014\/08\/HLB105_crop.pdf\">REGULATING CAPITAL<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>Prasad Krishnamurthy<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Most observers agree that the excessive debt or leverage of systemically important financial institutions (SIFIs) was a central reason why the housing crash of 2007\u20132009 led to a recession.

In response to this, Title II of Dodd-Frank created the Orderly Liquidation Authority, or OLA, which is designed to create a resolution framework for systemically important financial institutions that is based on the resolution authority that the FDIC has held over commercial bank failures. In this Article, we consider the various alternatives for resolving systemically important institutions. Among these alternatives, we discuss OLA, a European-style bail-in process, and coerced mergers, while also extensively focusing on the bankruptcy code. We argue that implementing several discrete modifications to Dodd-Frank, as well adopting an ambitious Chapter 14 proposal written by a working group at the Hoover Institution is the best way forward for establishing a strong resolution framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VOLUME 2 \u2022 ISSUE 2 \u2022 PRINT<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.law.harvard.edu\/hblr\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/87\/2012\/11\/HLB206_Special-Resolution.pdf\">THE NEED FOR SPECIAL RESOLUTION REGIMES FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS\u2014THE CASE FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>Martin \u010cih\u00e1k and Erlend Nier<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The global financial crisis has demonstrated weaknesses in resolution regimes for financial institutions around the globe, including in the European Union (EU).
