Banking, Regulation and Macroeconomic Outcomes
The conference will be hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis on October 17 - 18, The event will include the presentation of 6/7 papers plus a policy panel with leading experts and policy makers. Papers presented at the conference will undergo a standard peer-review process and, if accepted, will be included in a special volume of Journal Political Economy (JPE) Macroeconomics.
A decade after the adoption of widespread regulatory changes in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, the banking system in the United States and abroad remains vulnerable to sudden disruptions, as experienced during the recent turmoil of March 2023. In this context, many questions remain on whether the current regulatory landscape is appropriate to ensure a resilient financial system. The conference brings together researchers that will advance our understanding of the sources and macroeconomic consequences of banking fragility, and contribute to addressing the challenges for financial regulation. We welcome papers addressing a wide range of topics related to the macroeconomic impacts of banking and regulation, including but not limited to:
Banking fragility and macroeconomic linkages
Coordination failures and self-fulfilling runs
Optimal design of macroprudential regulation
Central bank policies such as lender of last resort and quantitative easing
Dynamic quantitative models of banks in general equilibrium
Empirical assessments of the impact of regulatory changes
Monetary policy and financial stability
Banks' risk management, including interest rate and liquidity risks
Systemic risk and interconnectedness
Interlinkages between banking crises and sovereign debt crises
Political economy aspects of banking regulation
Cross-border banking and international regulatory cooperation
International spillovers of financial shocks
Digital currencies, financial innovations, and the implications for financial stability
The conference organizers welcome submissions of both empirical and theoretical research.
