Call for Paper for the Third (2014) Fordham-JBF Banking Conference
Date: December 19-20, 2014
Place: Xiamen University, Fujian, China
Theme: Financial Innovations and Bank Regulation
The recent crisis has revolutionized how risk management is conducted and banks are regulated. EC and US regulators have worked hard on a new set of regulations that can not only prevent a similar crisis from happening but also help build a better, healthier financial industry.
We look for a wide variety of bank regulation topics in areas such as market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, capital, and stress testing. We also encourage papers that address new financial innovations in the post-crisis era. We seek papers that study theoretical as well as methodological developments under new regulation. Empirical examinations of models are also welcomed.
Suggestive topics (but not limited to) of interest are:
Assessment of quality of capital
Risk retention
QM (qualified mortgages) and QRM (qualified residential mortgages)
Scenario analysis
Liquidity risk measurement
Reverse stress test
Short term liquidity versus long term funding
Sustainability management
Large scale data analysis
PAPER SUBMISSION
A complete paper in PDF format must be submitted electronically by July 31, 2014 to fincenter@fordham.edu. The results of the selection procedure will be set by October 31 2014.
