This book was prepared as part of the Central America Financial Sector Regional Project (FSRP).
The countries covered in the FSRP comprise the six Spanish-speaking countries of Central America: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.
Although relatively small, they are large as a group and confront many common policy challenges.
With about 40 million people, Central America's population is as large as Spain's or Argentina's.
Besides geographic proximity and a common language, the region shares a dependence on raw material exports, close economic ties to the United States, and vulnerabilities to natural disasters and terms-of-trade shocks.
Several of the countries have also suffered from long periods of civil strife, which slowed economic growth generally, and hampered the development of legal and judicial systems.
The chapters cover: an overview of the principal issues and findings of the project; background on financial development and soundness in the six countries; trends in regional financial integration and supervisory responses; development of the insurance sector; development of payment and securities settlement arrangements; and worker remittances.

Governments in developing countries have been increasingly involved in the support of agricultural (crop and livestock) insurance programs in recent years.
In their attempts to design and implement agricultural insurance, they have sought technical and financial assistance from the international community and particularly from the World Bank.
One of the recurrent requests from governments regards international experience with agricultural insurance, not only in developed countries, where in some cases agricultural insurance has been offered for more than a century, but also in middleand low-income countries.
Governments are particularly interested in the technical, operational, financial, and institutional aspects of public support to agricultural insurance.
'Government Support to Agricultural Insurance' informs public and private decision makers involved in agricultural insurance about recent developments, with a particular focus on middle- and low-income countries.
It presents an updated picture of the spectrum of institutional frameworks and experiences with agricultural insurance, ranging from countries in which the public sector provides no support to those in which governments heavily subsidize agricultural insurance.
This analysis is based on a survey conducted by the World Bank s agricultural insurance team in 2008 in 65 developed and developing countries.
Drawing on the survey results, the book identifies some key roles governments can play to support the development of sustainable, affordable, and cost-effective agricultural insurance programs.

Continuous-Time Models in Corporate Finance, Banking, and Insurance-Perpustakaan.org

Continuous-Time Models in Corporate Finance synthesizes four decades of research to show how stochastic calculus can be used in corporate finance.
Combining mathematical rigor with economic intuition, Santiago Moreno-Bromberg and Jean-Charles Rochet analyze corporate decisions such as dividend distribution, the issuance of securities, and capital structure and default.
They pay particular attention to financial intermediaries, including banks and insurance companies.
The authors begin by recalling the ways that option-pricing techniques can be employed for the pricing of corporate debt and equity.
They then present the dynamic model of the trade-off between taxes and bankruptcy costs and derive implications for optimal capital structure.
The core chapter introduces the workhorse liquidity-management model—where liquidity and risk management decisions are made in order to minimize the costs of external finance.
This model is used to study corporate finance decisions and specific features of banks and insurance companies.
The book concludes by presenting the dynamic agency model, where financial frictions stem from the lack of interest alignment between a firm's manager and its financiers.
The appendix contains an overview of the main mathematical tools used throughout the book.
Requiring some familiarity with stochastic calculus methods, Continuous-Time Models in Corporate Finance will be useful for students, researchers, and professionals who want to develop dynamic models of firms' financial decisions.
