About the workshop
A research workshop for economists at central banks and supervisory authorities was held in Washington, DC on 10-11 May 2007. The workshop - Banking, Risk and Regulation: A Workshop on Applied Banking Research - has been 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.
