A few examples include the effect of capital and liquidity requirements on intermediaries and markets, including the household sector, macroprudential regulation, internal and external governance responses to financial regulation as well as remaining gaps, and political economy considerations that are shaping rules and their enforcement. This conference is a sequel to one organized in October 2015.Please submit your paper for consideration by December 15, 2019, by emailing mfrinfo@uchicago.edu and attaching your paper (preferred) or abstract.INITIATIVESMacro Finance Research Program
