A research workshop for economists at central banks and supervisory authorities will be held in Washington, DC on 10-11 May 2007. The workshop – Banking, Risk and Regulation: A Workshop on Applied Banking Research – is being organised by the Research Task Force of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and will be sponsored by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The workshops are held every two years to facilitate contacts among researchers of different institutions and to stimulate both theoretical and empirical research that assist bank supervision and regulation.
Participation in the event is by invitation only.
