Abstract - Ethics in banking
The financial industry is highly regulated, more than any other sector of the economy. And yet, ethical issues (and scandals) are all-over. In this lecture, the focus will be on what is specific, from an ethical perspective, in the financial industry. Starting from some empirical observations and cases, it will be shown why some types of ethical issues have to be dealt with on the level of regulation, others on the level of corporations (banks, investment funds, insurance companies, etc.) and still others on the level of the professional deontology of individual bankers. One of the most dramatic aspects of this sector is that the impact of ethically questionable institutional arrangements and unethical behavior are not easily foreseeable.
