NINTH CALL FOR PROPOSALS

 

FONDATION BANQUE DE FRANCE

 

 

Dear Colleagues:

 

By means of regular requests for proposal, Fondation Banque

de France awards 18-month grants to foster research in the

fields of money, finance and banking. The deadline for

submissions concerning the ninth call, for which Euro

90,000 have been earmarked, is extended to December 24,

2004. The typical funding size is between 25 and 35,000

Euro. The Foundation hopes that you will submit a proposal.

 

The three themes below are suggested this year. Their

formulation is indicative and should not be construed as

narrower than the Foundation wishes. Based on the

Scientific Committee's recommendation, the Board will pre-

select early March 2005 about six projects. An additional

three-month period will allow authors to prepare a more

detailed outline to be presented before the Scientific

Committee at an internal meeting in Banque de France. The

result of the final selection will come out in July 2005.

 

 

SUBMISSIONS/FURTHER INFORMATION:

 

Additional information may be found in the document titled

"Awarding of Research Grants" posted on:

 

www.banque-france.fr

 

under the bookmark "Foundation."

 

Proposals should be sent by email to:

 

Email: MAILTO:fondation.rech@banque-france.fr

 

using the template provided under the link "submission."

 

 

NINTH CALL FOR PROPOSALS:

 

1. Credit Risk and Corporate Bond Valuation

 

It is generally agreed that structural models of credit

risk tend to overvalue the price of corporate bonds. Under

those circumstances, how should practitioners put existing

contingent claims models to good use for risk management

purposes? Which further developments of the theory would

help better predict the underlying probabilities of default

and recovery rates? Could credit risk account for only a

fraction of the observed variation in credit spreads? In

that case, what other factors unrelated to credit risk

fundamentals could drive the cross-sectional variation in

risky bond prices?

 

2. Implications of Securitization for Monetary Policy and

Banking

 

Preliminary evidence seems to indicate that the

effectiveness of monetary policy could be weakened

with the increased securitization in the mortgage markets.

Does this result hold for other, non-mortgage forms of

securitization? To the extent that secured debt may help

banks alleviate agency problems associated with risky debt,

what are the implications of securitization for the

transmission mechanism of monetary policy? If

securitization allows banks to serve as asset brokers, can

investors rely on banks' incentives to maintain their

reputation for monitoring?

 

3. Cost-Effectiveness of Bank Regulation

 

Recent research tends to show that financial stability is

bound up with the industrial organization of the banking

system. If banks are not inherently flawed institutions,

could bank regulation fulfill its key function in promoting

financial stability in a more cost-effective way? Could

there be cost-effective substitutes for regulation, working

through the use of derivative markets and other innovations

in financial architecture? What is the interplay between

global competition in banking and systemic or prudential

concerns in the international coordination of financial

regulation?
