Evaluating Macroprudential Tools: Complementarities and Conflicts

Published: January 30, 2015

This fourth annual conference jointly sponsored by the OFR 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.
