Brookings-Wharton Papers on Financial Services

This annual series offers analyses of the financial services industry. In the 2003 edition, experts from the corporate, government and academic communities discuss the question: does the future belong to financial conglomerates?

Contributors include Arnoud Boot, Stijn Claessens, Jeroen J. M. Kremers, Andrew Kuritzkes, Arnold Schilder, Dirk Schoenmaker, Til Schuermann, Peter Swire, Iman van Lelyveld, Ingo Walter, Scott M. Weiner, Lawrence White, and Peter J. Wierts.
