FDICIA's discount window provisions
No full textA description of the evolution of supervisory policy toward failing banks over the past two decades, with particular emphasis on the modifications to Federal Reserve Banks' discount window administration as set forth by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA).Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ; Discount window
FDICIA's emergency liquidity provisions
No full textAn exploration of the change in standards for Federal Reserve discount window access by nonbanks encompassed in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA), concluding that although it retrenched the federal financial safety net for undercapitalized insured depository institutions, the provision effectively expanded the safety net for uninsured nonbanks, irrespective of their capital or net worth positions.Discount window ; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
History of and rationales for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
No full textAn analysis of the lessons learned from the 1930s financial rescue mechanism, the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and a comparison of its structure to that of today's Resolution Trust Corporation.Reconstruction Finance Corporation ; Resolution Trust Corporation (U.S.)
Bank receivership and conservatorship
No full textA history of regulatory and statutory responses to failing banks, with special focus on changes since 1987 affecting receiverships, conservatorships, and bridge banks. The author argues that some of these changes, including depositor preference legislation enacted in 1993, have had unintended and still-uncertain consequences.Bank failures
Lessons of the past and prospects for the future in lender of last resort theory
No full textA history of the changes in the theory of the role of the lender of last resort--as a source of solvency versus liquidity support--and a discussion of the distinction between necessity and convenience (the American and European versions of lender of last resort theory) in mounting rescue operations through the central bank.Discount window ; Banks and banking, Central ; Federal Reserve System - History ; Lenders of last resort
Design and utility assessment of attitude control systems for EVA task performance
No full textThesis: S.M., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2015.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-196).Low gravity astronaut extravehicular activity (EVA) missions using a maneuvering Jetpack and robotic servicing and assembly missions could benet from spacecraft systems capable of maintaining pointing stability during critical operations. The addition of single-gimbal control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) to the attitude control system of these spacecraft could substantially improve the stability and pointing accuracy of the platform and could also conserve onboard fuel during missions. This thesis contains a description of recent work completed at Draper Laboratory and MIT's Space Systems Laboratory (SSL) and Man Vehicle Laboratory (MVL) that explores the performance and utility of a combined control concept for a Jetpack system using thrusters and CMGs as actuators. Simulation of the Mobility Augmenting Jetpack with Integrated CMGs (MAJIC) at Draper is described as well as the design, integration and physical demonstration of a combined control system with the Synchronized Positoin Hold Engage Reorient Experimental Satellite (SPHERES) facility at the SSL. Primary contributions in simulation for the Jetpack application have focused on implementing a new method for sizing CMG actuators and improving the performance and utility assessment strategies to compare a proposed MAJIC system with a Jetpack that does not include CMGs. Primary contributions with hardware within the context of the SPHERES facility have included the design, simulation, integration and testing of a CMG peripheral actuator package and associated laboratory and reduced-gravity testing with NASA's Flight Opportunity Program.by Todd F.
