The initiative is scientifically promoted by three leading research centres: The Paolo Baffi Centre on Central Banking and Financial Regulation (Bocconi University), the European Banking Center (Tilburg University) and the Center on Central Banks and Financial Institutions (New York University). The current crisis has raised important questions about the changing face of central banking, the design of financial regulation and supervision and the compatibility of monetary and financial stability. Therefore, the 2010 edition wishes to address the key issues that are emerging for the design of post-crisis policies and institutions. The Steering Committee welcomes theoretical and empirical papers that shed light on the different causes of change in, and their consequences for, central banking, regulation and supervision.
