    In “Alternative Capital for U.S. Credit Unions? A Review and Extension of Evidence Regarding Public Policy Reform” by Robert F. Hoel, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Business, Colorado State University, and Filene Fellow in Residence examines:

    • Is it in the public interest to permit U.S credit unions greater access to alternative capital sources?
    • Can credit unions use alternative capital to expand their capital bases in a way that will not dilute their cooperative ownership, values, and governance structure?
    • If so, what alternative capital mechanisms would be most appropriate and feasible?
