Failure of the Dodd-Frank Act

Abstract

Purpose – This paper aims to explain the weaknesses and inconsistencies inherent in the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 (USA). Design/methodology/approach – The approach is entirely theoretical and multi-disciplinary (and relies on some third-party empirical research), and it consists of a literature review, critique and the development of theories which are applicable across countries. Findings – The Dodd-Frank Act is inefficient and inadequate as a response to the global financial crisis. The Dodd-Frank Act has not resulted in significant economic growth and has increased transaction costs and compliance costs for both government agencies and financial services companies. Originality/value – The author developed the theories introduced in the paper.
