CALL FOR PAPERS
2ND CONFERENCE ON BANKING REGULATION-INTEGRATION
AND FINANCIAL STABILITY
Hosted by the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW)
October 29 and 30
Mannheim, Germany
The Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) invites
submissions for its 2nd Conference on Banking Regulation,
which will be held in Mannheim on October 29 and 30. The
conference is intended to provide a forum of discussion on
European policy relevant issues and bring together
academics, economists from Central Banks and regulatory
agencies and practitioners in the field of banking
regulation.
Despite a common currency in some EU countries, banks
continue to be supervised at the national level. Financial
integration in Europe appears to be least advanced by some
measures in retail banking. The consequences of these
institutional arrangements for financial integration and
how they interact with competition and financial stability
is the particular focus of this conference.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:
Submissions are especially encouraged in the following
areas:
- Banking regulation and harmonization: What are the
consequences of differences in regulation for competition
in Europe ("level playing field")? What are possible
explanations for the recent capital build up far in
excess of regulatory - requirements both in Europe and
the US? To which extent and in which ways do regulators
affect banks' behaviour? Role of market discipline and
disclosure.
- Competition in banking markets: To which extent do banks
compete across borders? What is the correct measurement
of cross-border competition? How contestable are banking
markets? What are the main obstacles to cross-border
competition? Are cross-border mergers necessary for
cross-border competition in Europe?
- Integration of banking markets: How should integration in
retail banking markets be measured? What are the main
obstacles to banking integration (e.g. regulation,
culture, taxes)? What are the interactions between the
integration of financial markets and bank system
integration? How does financial integration affect risks
in banking?
- Financial stability and regulatory arbitrage: What are
the financial stability consequences of national
supervision? Evidence of regulatory arbitrage? Are shocks
to banking systems largely national or European? How are
they transmitted across borders?
Both empirical and theoretical papers will be considered.
The submission deadline is August 15th, 2007. Authors will
be notified by 15th September, 2007. Funding (flight and
accommodation) could partly be provided.
The programme of the conference will include two well-known
keynote speakers.
ORGANISING COMMITTEE:
The organising committee for the conference consists of
Claudia Buch, University of Tubingen and Institute for
Applied Economic Research), Reint Gropp (ECB, University
of Frankfurt and ZEW), Matthias Kohler (ZEW) and Michael
Schroder (ZEW).
