CALL FOR PAPERS DE NEDERLANDSCHE BANK, the EUROPEAN BANKING CENTER and the JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL STABILITY invite submission for a conference on MACROPRUDENTIAL REGULATION: FROM THEORY TO IMPLEMENTATION Amsterdam, The NetherlandsJanuary 29-30, 2015  Keynote Speaker:John Geanakoplos (Yale)     Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the modelling of systemic risk. At the same time, regulators around the world have made large strides towards redesigning financial architecture with the view of incorporating macroprudential elements.  However, a significant gap exists between theoretical and empirical research of macroprudential regulation and its implementation.This conference aims to bring together leading academics and policy makers working on macroprudential regulation. We invite high-quality submissions on macroprudential regulation and its implementation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:The interaction of macroprudential regulation with traditional banking regulation and monetary policyWhat are reliable indicators of systemic risk that can be used as inputs into regulation, and which instruments are most effective in reducing cyclical and structural system risk?How will the adjustment of financial intermediaries to new regulation affect the effectiveness of macroprudential regulation?Should macroprudential policy be carried out discretionary, or be bound by rules?Designing a framework to avoid inaction when systemic risk is risingTools for encouraging diversity in the financial system so that firms become less dependent on banksShould macroprudential policy be carried out at the national or supranational level?Can new regulation be designed such to avoid excessive complexity?Analyses of experiences with implementing macroprudential regulationSUBMISSION DEADLINE: November 20, 2014  Please email your paper to ebcatuvt.nl.
