BSE Intensive Course on Systemic Risk and Prudential Policy

May 2013

Economists, analysts, and researchers from the public and private sectors attended the second edition of the Barcelona School of Economics continuing education course on Systemic Risk and Prudential Policy from May 22-25, 2013.

The Systemic Risk and Prudential Policy course is part of the BSE's continuing education offer for executives, professionals and academics. The course's objective is to present state of the art research on systemic risk and to illustrate its implications for micro and macro prudential regulation.

To achieve this objective, the course involves direct contact with instructors who are renowned experts on the session topics and have written books, advised international organizations, and consulted at central banks on the same issues that they covered in the course.

Most of the 17 participants came to the course with more than five years of professional experience in central banks, commercial banks, international organizations, and academia.

The participants spent four intensive days covering topics such as Credit Bubbles and Crunches, Asset Bubbles, Contagion, and Financial Globalization. They also looked at quantitative methods for network analysis and case studies on financial crises.
