Effective Macro-Prudential Instruments

We held the "Effective Macroprudential Instruments" conference at the University of Nottingham in 13-14 November 2014. The conference was co-funded by School of Economics of the University of Nottingham, the Money, Macro and Finance Group and the Royal Economic Society. We had many excellent speakers coming not only from academia but also from international institutions and central banks such as the Bank of England, the BIS, the ECB, the IMF, the Bank of the Netherlands, the National Bank of Poland, among others. Speakers provided a good range and variety of topics and the mix between academic and policy-oriented work was remarkable. Attendance was also very good, with approximately 60 people attending the sessions, since the conference was widely advertised in advance and had excellent keynote speakers (Philipp Hartmann, Jean Pierre Landau, Philip Turner). 

The event proved to be a great success. Following the conference, we had many positive comments from both speakers and attendants, stressing the quality of the speakers and the impressive organizational work. Moreover, it has come to our attention that some of the speakers that met during the event are interacting and starting some projects together. On a more formal way, we would like to take this conference as a starting point to create an international network on macroprudential policies, in order to exchange ideas, organize meetings and develop the research on the topic. Furthermore, we are putting together a MMPM/CUP Volume on "Macro Prudential Policy" with papers presented at the conference. This will enhance the visibility of the speakers and will emphasize the quality of the work that was presented.
