Since the US stock market crashed on October 19, 1987, many studies have been conducted to learn from this experience in the hopes of avoiding a similarly adverse future fall. The book, originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Financial Services Research, considers some of the important policy adjustments that have been implemented in the wake of the 1987 crash. Taken separately and together, these five papers offer a synthesis and summary of the most important policy innovations that have evolved since the largest single-day decline in stock market history.

Over 1,000 employees, or about one-third of the staff, left the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from 1998 to 2000. Of these, more than 500 were attorneys. Overall, SEC s turnover rates for attorneys, accountants, and examiners averaged 15 percent in 2000, more than twice the rates for comparable positions governmentwide. Furthermore, 280 available positions remained unfilled in 2001. According to the former acting SEC Chairman, SEC has been experiencing a staffing crisis that is adversely affecting its ability to protect investors and promote the integrity and efficiency of U.S. securities markets.
