Abstract

Many of the world's banks have operations, if not branches or agencies, in the United States. When these banks fail, their U.S. operations and assets are subject to a confused, and confusing, patchwork of insolvency laws, both federal and state. This essay examines that legal patchwork, asking whether it is desirable, much less efficient, for a nation to have an inconsistent foreign-bank insolvency regime. The essay does not attempt to provide final answers but, instead, focuses on identifying the threshold conceptual issues that must be resolved before attempting to provide answers.
