ECBN 2017 Research Papers

The third Policy Research Conference of the European Central Banking Network held on 14-15 September 2017 brought together a distinguished group of researchers from 18 central banks, senior officials of other international financial institutions and leading academics to present and discuss policy-oriented research on “Evaluating the Effectiveness of Macroprudential Policies”.

Authors presented their research on different types of macroprudential instruments, using various methodologies and empirical approaches to assess their effectiveness. Participants had the chance to learn about country-specific experiences with the use and (short-run and long-run) impact of macroprudential policies and their interaction with market discipline for banks and with monetary policy.
