CALL FOR PAPERS: The Office of Financial Research and the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland invited the submission of research and policy-oriented papers for the 2015 Financial Stability Conference held December 3-4, 2015 in Washington, D.C. This conference concentrated on data requirements for macroprudential policy development and implementation, and recent advances in systemic risk measurement and forecasting tools.

This fourth annual conference jointly sponsored by the Office of Financial Research and the Financial Stability Oversight Council provided a venue for assessing and critiquing the state of the art in measuring and analyzing the factors contributing to financial stability, as well as the threats to it. The goal was to provoke new thinking about the data, research, and policy issues regulators and supervisors face, focused on the challenges in developing, evaluating, and improving financial stability tools. The conference had four panels (on stress testing, resolution, liquidity regulation, and margins and haircuts). Each panel featured a mix of academics, officials, and market participants.

A key aspect of international regulatory reform has been enhancing the breadth, depth, quality, and timeliness of data disclosed by financial firms to central banks and supervisory authorities. During the financial crisis, many financial firms were not equipped with the infrastructure to quickly aggregate their data across legal entities and counterparties. As recently highlighted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, this shortcoming impaired the ability of central banks and supervisory authorities to identify appropriate recovery-and-resolution mechanisms for firms.
