Call for Papers - Fourth Conference on Financial Stability, 23-25 November 2021, Mexico

Publish Date: Jun 13, 2021

Deadline: Jun 30, 2021

Event Dates: from Nov 23, 2021 12:00 to Nov 25, 2021 12:00

Banco de México, CEMLA, the Bank of Canada and the University of Zürich together with the Journal of Financial Stability continue with the series of biennial conferences presenting novel research on financial stability.

Since the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), financial stability has become an all-important duty for regulators. In order to improve resiliency of the financial system, central banks and other financial authorities required to design and implement a series of appropriate policies and to develop some new analytical tools. These advances are known as macroprudential tools and systemic risk analytics.

Macroprudential policies rolled out after the GFC have had a real test during the recent COVID-19 health crisis. Consequently, a review of their performance, robustness and identification of new challenges during the pandemic and in the recovery phase is necessary.

Network and stress testing models have proven to be useful to better understand systemic risk. These approaches have been applied to study the transmission of shocks in the economy, to understand and detect new threats to financial stability and to design and assess policy responses to make the system more resilient. Uncertainty related to climate change and to the COVID-19 pandemic shock that hit the economy and the financial system renders those modelling approaches even more relevant to assess structural vulnerabilities in the financial system.

The conference aims to bring together policymakers and academics, as well as industry representatives, to examine structural changes in the financial system precipitated by the 2020 COVID pandemic, to assess progress in designing a safer financial system, to study intended and unintended consequences of regulation on the global financial system, and to explore recent methodological advances in measuring and controlling risk in the interconnected financial system.

Topics

Conference topics relate to environmental risk assessment to the financial system, to macroprudential policy design and implementation, and to the application of network models and stress testing for financial stability. These include (but are not limited to):

  • Analysis of complex interactions between epidemiological or climate change related shocks and risks and vulnerabilities in the financial system;
  • Network models for systemic risk measurement and monitoring;
  • Macroprudential policy design and evaluation, including unintended consequences of regulation in the banking system and regulatory spillovers;
  • Stress testing: methodological developments, especially related to the incorporation of climate shocks, to the interaction between solvency and liquidity risk, and to feedback effects with the real economy;
  • Interaction between monetary and financial stability policies;
  • Early warning systems: detection of a build-up of systemic risk, data gaps, design of vulnerability indicators, interactions between global and domestic financial cycles;
  • Systemic liquidity, funding and market risk for banking systems.
