ABOUT BILL HARRINGTON
My work centers on boosting the sustainability of the world financial system with the dual aims of rationalizing economic decision-making and avoiding bailouts. I focus on the capitalization and regulation of uncleared derivative contracts and asset-backed securities. I have evaluated products in the international financial markets since 1987, most recently as a research journalist at Debtwire ABS and before that as a Moody\'s svp & derivatives analyst. I also structured derivative contracts that referenced currencies and global interest rates at Merrill Lynch and analyzed the trading patterns of these indices as an economist at The WEFA Group. Since 2011, I have worked to rectify the under-capitalization of the types of complex finance that ignited and fueled the financial crisis. A major prong of this work has been submitting technical comments to US and European regulators, to US and UK legislative committees, and to rating agencies such as Fitch Ratings, Moody\'s, and S&P Global.
