abstract: During the global financial crisis in 2008, governments around the world have used a variety of policies to support threatened industries and to stabilize financial systems. In the present study, we empirically compare the patterns of the dynamic change in the financial performance of the semiconductor industry before and after government intervention by using the piecewise linear trajectory model for Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, three major economies for the industry. The empirical results indicate that, during the global financial crisis, the performance of the semiconductor industry can benefit from government support, in spite of the fact that the improvement was somewhat delayed after intervention. Moreover, the change pattern of the performance depends on the performance factor and the economy. Based on the results obtained as well as literature support, we summarize the economic and industrial policies that might have demonstrated usefulness for the industry and discuss some implications.

abstract: Given the likelihood of periodic financial crises, much of the focus of policymakers should be on the proper response to rather than the prevention of crises. In this article, the authors begin by repeating Walter Bagehot's famous prescription for resolving financial trouble in the 19thcentury London money market: flood the system with liquidity and do all that can be done to keep the capital markets open and functioning. Although this message was disastrously ignored by the Federal Reserve Bank of 1929 33, Bagehot's advice was well understood by the Fed and U.S. Treasury in managing the crisis of 2008.

abstract: Inadequate disclosure has been at the heart of most policy analysis of the global financial crisis. According to the inadequate disclosure critique, investors had insufficient information regarding the risks involved in structured securities, the flaws of credit ratings, and the impact of excessive executive compensation, all among the main causes of the recent financial market collapse. However, the global financial crisis has also exposed the many limits of disclosure as an effective regulatory tool in the context of financial markets. For instance, many of the risks that led to the creation of the 2008 catastrophe were often fully disclosed but the markets failed to understand what was disclosed and appreciate the implications. The reasons for this failure were product complexity and the impact of socio psychological factors such as bounded rationality, strategic trade behaviour (herding) and cognitive biases. These findings pose a great challenge to the prevailing rational choice view of disclosure as a regulatory remedy of most market failures. At the same time, the issue of transparent financial markets dominates the global regulatory reform agenda. Accordingly, there is a clear need to devise strategies that make disclosure work under actual (not hypothetical) market conditions and redress the adverse impact of socio psychological factors. The chapter argues that in specific contexts, such as the field of prudential regulation of banks, disclosure will only work if it is supplemented by protective regulation, e.g. business activity barriers and position limits. It also argues that only through the use of experiments, as a complement to empirical studies, policy makers and regulators will be able to measure the actual contribution of disclosure to investor protection and devise effective disclosure strategies.
