Questions have been raised regarding the role of low-tax offshore jurisdictions in the global financial crisis, based largely on evidence that many problematic asset-backed securities were issued from or listed in the Cayman Islands, Jersey, Ireland, and other ‘offshore’ sites. However, there has not been a systematic investigation of the offshore geography of crisis-implicated securitization. Here we fill this gap by constructing the first comprehensive jurisdictional map of the largest pre-crisis Asset-Backed Commercial Paper (ABCP) programmes, and examining the rationale for and impacts of this geography in detail. We show that offshore jurisdictions were disproportionately involved in producing the most unstable ABCP classes. However, this is difficult to explain in terms of the traditional role of offshore banking centres as sites for direct avoidance of onshore regulation and transparency. Rather, we propose a Minskian model of pre-crisis offshore ABCP production, wherein these jurisdictions specialized in alleviating incidental institutional frictions (eg double taxation) hindering onshore financial innovation. In this context, they could sometimes be legitimately described as improving the institutional ‘efficiency’ of financial markets; however, by facilitating the endogenous evolutionary instability of these markets, this apparently innocuous service had profoundly negative effects. This normative disconnect poses a conundrum for offshore reform.

Feigned Consensus: Usurping the Law in Shaken Baby Syndrome/Abusive Head Trauma Prosecutions

Few medico-legal matters have generated as much controversy-both in the medical literature and in the courtroom-as Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), now known more broadly as Abusive Head Trauma (AHT). The controversies are of enormous significance in the law because child abuse pediatricians claim, on the basis of a few non-specific medical findings supported by a weak and methodologically flawed research base, to be able to "diagnose" child abuse, and thereby to provide all of the evidence necessary to satisfy all of the legal elements for criminal prosecution (or removal of children from their parents). It is a matter, therefore, in which medical opinion claims to fully occupy the legal field. As controversies flare up increasingly in the legal arena, child abuse pediatricians and prosecutors now respond by claiming both that there is actually no real controversy about SBS/AHT, and that it is a purely medical "diagnosis" and not a legal conclusion, so testimony in support of the SBS hypothesis should not be challenged in court. This article, coauthored by four law professors, two physicians, and a physicist, demonstrates that there is very much a live controversy about the SBS/AHT hypothesis and maintains that, under traditional principles of evidence law, physicians should not be permitted to "diagnose" abuse in court (as opposed to identifying specific symptoms or medical findings).

Thermo-mechanical behaviour of the solidified shell in a “funnel-shaped” mold for continuous casting of thin slabs

Starting from a structural analysis of a solidified shell in a continuous casting conventional mold, the author developed a model that has now been adapted to simulate the solidification process also in the case of a funnel-shaped mold proposed for continuous casting of thin slabs. A rating of possible critical conditions in the stress level, suitable for producing cracks in longitudinal or transverse directions, is given by means of two separate cracking indices: L.C.1. (longitudinal cracking index) and T.C.1. (transverse cracking index). An analysis of the effect of a few variables on the basis of a total of 9 simulation runnings in different conditions, gave for the funnel-shaped mold the following summarized results: In comparison with a prismatic mold, casting at the same casting rate (2 m/min) and for the same product dimensions (50 mm x 1000 mm), the funnel-shaped mold behaves similarly in the corner area but less well in the center of the broad face where longitudinal cracking susceptibility is concerned. However, no significant differences result concerning transversal cracking susceptibility. Cracking risk, both transversal and longitudinal, diminishes tremendously with increasing casting rate. Cracking susceptibility when employing the funnel-shaped mold is very sensitive to small variations in the "shape" of the curved mold walls, particularly for longitudinal cracking. The effect of changing taper is not large as the gap on the short side of the mold is preserved. When the gap, on the short side, as a consequence of an excessive taper, almost disappears, in some part of the mold a great pressure concentration on the same side in the corner region is produced. The drawing action, arising on the shell because of friction, results in high shear stresses and possible cracks at the corner. Limits and reliability of the model, which depend on knowledge of high temperature steel properties, are discussed.
