Call for Papers: Entry Now Closed
"New Global Banking Regulations and the Cost of Intermediation" Conference on 14th October 2010, London
We invited submissions of papers to be presented at the "New Global Banking Regulations and the Cost of Intermediation" conference. The entry for papers is now closed. The papers received will be selected by members of the ICFR’s academic panel including Alistair Milne, Charles Goodhart, Julian Franks and Viral Acharya.
Background Information
While there is consensus about the need for a new tighter regulatory regime being introduced under the auspices of the G20, there is considerable uncertainty about how the new regulations on capital and liquidity will impact on the banking industry and its customer base. There is, therefore, a demand for considered academic analysis of these timely issues.
The "New Global Banking Regulations and the Cost of Intermediation" conference, organised by the ICFR and members of its academic panel, will be a platform for the latest research on the impact of these major regulatory changes, and in particular about how they will affect both the industry and the cost and availability of credit. During our call for papers, we invited submissions on (but not necessarily limited to) the following topics:
- Cost of capital for banks, with and without government guarantees
- Quantifying the impact of the new regulations on the cost and availability of bank credit
- Estimating “varying” costs of capital for a banking institution (varying with leverage, exposure etc)
- Understanding the private costs (e.g., taxes, ROE vs. ROA based compensation) and the social costs (e.g., lower market discipline) of bank capital
- Costs of winding down/resolution plans
- Conglomerates – regulation and financing (internal markets of bank holding companies)
- Aggregate bank capital management: relationship between regulatory bank capital and actual bank capital – link to asset liability and dividends
