My
column
by Vinod Kothari
Is
securitization dead?
Perhaps I have a
selfish interest in arguing that it is not, but you decide, once you
read my write up. Of course, I will be happy to hear any comments.

The new face of securitization
Securitization
in future will be back on the balance sheet
4 April 2008
See my latest
article
here, where I argue that the world cannot do without securitization,
and what we need to do is to explore methods of balance-sheet securitization.
This is what I hag argued soon after collapse of Enron; Treasury
Secretary Paulson is talking about the same thing now.

for suspension of fair value accounting, and a fundamental relook

Sentimental
Accounting: Time to question mark to market
We need to
ask ourselves if MTM is procyclical and helps the market disequilibrium
4 April 2008; updated Oct 2008
See my latest
article
here, where I produce arguments against MTM accounting - primarily
on two grounds. One, it leads to volatile accounting and almost
every accounting estimate is liable to question. Two, and more seiously
in the current crisis, MTM accounting is procyclical.

In
the eyes of beholder
Tim
Reason's posting on CFO.com:
"It would be no surprise to my colleagues, who
roll their eyes whenever I mention securitization, that one of my
favorite websites is Vinod Kothari's Securitization Website. What
it lacks in sophisticated design, it more than makes up for in sheer
volume of information about a fairly arcane topic. And Vinod Kothari's
enthusiastic analysis of all things securitization (even one of
my articles) makes me think that if he ever showed up at our office
in person, my co-workers would run screaming for the door."
