This culminated in a book with Douglas Arner, From Crisis to Crisis: The Global Financial System and Regulatory Failure, published by Kluwer.[22]
In 2013, he started researching the regulation of mobile money in developing countries, in response in part to a request from Timor Leste for assistance on these issues.[23]
