Financial Frictions and Systemic Risk
This project supports research on the interplay between financial market institutions, financial frictions, and systemic financial risk. Particular issues of interest include: funding structures and capital market frictions, operational and financial linkages across markets, financial stability, and the determinants, detection, and remediation of systemic risk. The initiative encourages interaction between researchers, policy-makers, practitioners, and regulators, with the goal of identifying and addressing research questions that are particularly important for public policy.
