The effects of technology on the financial sector are examined in this text, the second in a series of annual volumes on the financial services industry, from the Brookings Institution and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. The papers in this volume, as well as brief comments on the papers, are written by leading financial experts from the corporate, government and academic communities. Future volumes will address other important issues affecting the financial services industry and thus continue to be a source of invaluable analysis and information for participants in the industry, financial regulators, policymakers, and everyone concerned with financial services.
