Information on the Institute for the Study of Competition and Regulation

Founded in 1998 and closed in 2015, the Institute for the Study of Competition and Regulation (ISCR) was an independent, nonprofit research institute located at Victoria University of Wellington's Pipitea Campus. Funding of its activities was provided by members, project work, and research grants. The primary objectives of ISCR research were to assist in understanding:

  • how markets and organisations operate
  • how markets provide appropriate incentives and disciplines for organisations
  • the limitations of markets, and the role of regulation in addressing these limitations
  • the importance of property rights and institutional structures in facilitating effectiveness of markets, organisations, competition, and regulation in New Zealand

    The East Asian Financial Crisis
    (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 1998) Young, Leslie
    After describing the major events in the regional financial crisis I shall link them to structural problems in Asian finance. These structural problems arise from institutional limitations grounded in the culture and political economy of East Asia. The "East Asian Model" of political economy was successful in manufacturing giving rise to triumphant rhetoric on Asian values from Asian leaders last year. I shall attempt to identify why the "East Asian Model" failed in finance. I conclude with a discussion of the dangers & opportunities created by the regional financial crisis.
