The Federal Reserve invites researchers to submit academic research papers
to be considered for presentation at a conference on the topic of stress
testing. The conference will provide a forum for researchers in academic
and policy institutions to discuss important topics, methods, and
challenges related to stress testing for financial institutions and the
financial system.
Background
Since the financial crisis, stress testing has become a key tool for
evaluating the resilience of financial institutions and the financial
system. For example, stress tests of U.S. large banking organizations are
now conducted annually under the Dodd-Frank Act, and similar stress testing
efforts have also been adopted internationally in recent years. Stress
testing has become increasingly important in assessing the resilience of
the financial system as a whole and the strength of the balance sheets of
firms and households. It has also become a more prominent risk management
tool for financial institutions. Accordingly, stress testing as a
discipline has become an increasingly important area for economic research
and policy.
Conference Format
We intend to host the conference in a hybrid format, with the option of
participating online or in person, at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
Some limited funding to cover travel expenses may be
available for paper presenters and discussants. Although we hope to see
everyone in Boston, we will
revert to a fully virtual format should conditions related to COVID-19 not
allow in-person participation.
The conference will consist of presentations of academic researchpapers.
Some of the paper presentations will be followed by discussions.
With the authors’ approval, the papers presented at the conference may be
made available to the public on the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Boston.
Paper Submission Topics
The conference will consider high quality research papers broadly related
to stress testing. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
 	The effects of stress tests on economic behavior, financial stability,
and systemic risk
 	The resilience of banks to economic conditions related to the COVID-19
pandemic and its
aftermath
 	Stress testing in an inflationary environment
 	Climate-change scenarioanalysis
 	The distributional effects of stress tests
 	The appropriate role for stress testing in macroprudential and
microprudential supervision
 	Optimal disclosure policies for supervisory stress tests
 	The design of macroeconomic scenarios for stress testing
 	Stress-testing for cybersecurity and operational risks
 	Stress testing for nonbank financial institutions
 	Stress testing and digital currencies
