Welcome to Tom Stanton’s Home Page.
As an attorney, Thomas Stanton has studied the institutional framework of Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) and other financial institutions, and the supervisory framework that they require to remain safe and sound. He has helped foster an understanding of the fundamentals of designing institutions, regulatory bodies, and tools of government policy.
View Tom’s 2008 testimony on the GSEs before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Tom's works include writings on government organization and management, with special attention to government enterprises, financial institutions, and financial regulation. The distinctive aspect of these writings is that they seek to bring the perspective of public administration to bear on important aspects of public policy. While other disciplines concern themselves with devising appropriate policies, public administration focuses more on trying to ensure that those policies can be effectively implemented.
Tom recently received the Jesse Burkhead Award for "Best Article" in the journal Public Budgeting & Finance. The article, published in spring 2008, is titled, “Reducing Government Involvement in a Market: Lessons from the Privatization of Sallie Mae." A video of a presentation at the American Enterprise Institute on an earlier version of the paper is available here. The slide presentation, “The Privatization of Sallie Mae and its Consequences” is here.
