Jointly with the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), Norges Bank will be organising a workshop “Frontier Research in Banking”, scheduled on 18-19 November, 2021.
The evolution of financial intermediation in a changing world, complicated by the COVID-19 Pandemic, brings new challenges to policy makers. Large shocks to the real economy, as well as fiscal stimulus and unconventional monetary policy in response to the pandemic have put the transmission of policies by financial intermediaries and their exposure to financial risks further in focus. Changes in climate and demographic structure are also forcing us to consider the role of banks and non-bank financial institutions.
This two-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and policymakers working on these issues. The workshop will focus on high-quality research with empirical or theoretical contributions in the field of banking, financial intermediation and financial policies, with a particular but not exclusive interest in the following areas:
- Banking under low interest rates
- Heterogeneity in the effects of financial intermediation and financial policies
- Interactions between monetary policy, macro- and micro-prudential regulations
- Microdata-based evidence on the effectiveness of banking regulation
- Digital currencies, Fintech, and non-bank financial intermediation
- Globalisation and disintermediation in banking
- The impact of climate change on banking
- Financial intermediation in reaction to the COVID-19 Pandemic
