Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Georgia State University
The Center for Financial Innovation and Stability (Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta) and the Center for the Economic Analysis of Risk (Georgia State
University) are organizing a workshop on Financial innovation: A threat to
financial stability? Conditions permitting, we will hold the conference
in-person at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta on October 6-7, 2022. The
workshop's goal is to bring together economists, finance and risk
management professionals, computer scientists and regulators to discuss the
long-run effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on market participants, and
government authorities.
Financial innovation is sometimes viewed as a threat to financial
stability, in part because of its association with some significant shocks
such as the association of portfolio insurance's role with the 1987 stock
market crash, and mortgage securitization role in the financial crisis of
2007-09. However, innovation can also help firms in measuring and managing
risks and supervisors in evaluating the risks being taken by firms. Given
the rapid development and widespread application of new technologies, how
should firms and supervisors view the relationship between innovation and
stability. This workshop will look backward at how innovations have
contributed to or detracted from stability in the past. It will also look
forward at emerging developments such as blockchains and machine learning
to better understand the ways in which these technologies may affect
stability in the future.
Further Information:
We invite academics, professionals, and regulators to submit papers and/or
ideas for panel discussions for this workshop. Long abstracts or,
preferably, complete manuscripts may be submitted no later than July 25,
2022, on the full range of issues associated with whether financial
innovation is a threat to financial stability. These issues include but are
not limited to:
 	Analysis of the ways in which current developments in the use of
artificial intelligence/machine learning could enhance financial stability
and/or threaten stability.
 	Analysis of the ways in which current developments in the use blockchains
in the provision of financial services could enhance financial stability
and/or threaten stability.
 	Analysis of the ways in which the growth of financial technology firms
outside the prudential regulatory perimeter could pose risks for financial
stability.
 	Historical examples in which innovations in financial risk measurement
and management have improved financial stability.
 	Historical examples in which the overly rapid growth of immature
innovations led to serious strains on financial stability.
Authors are invited to submit full papers or long abstracts.
The results of the selection process will be sent by August 22, 2022.
Reasonable travel and accommodation expenses will be covered for the
presenters of accepted papers. Please email Larry Wall with inquiries at
