Presentation

The scientific activity is carried out through a single programme, “Banking structures, risk and performance : lessons for prudential systems”, that focuses on two themes : “Capital structures, banking strategies and risk: challenges for supervision” and “balance sheet constraints and banking risk: lessons for regulation”.

These two themes must play a role in the development of methods and tools used by banking and monetary authorities to help prevent bankruptcies and crises; as such, they contribute to the security and stability of the financial system and also raise the issue of the impact exerted by new prudential rules on the performance of economies.

Research themes

Bank Risk and Prudential Regulation ; Financial Institutions ; Banking Regulation ; Economic Stability, Vulnerability of Financial Systems ; Growth and Economic Policy ; Financial Development and Economic Growth

Keywords

Banking ; Bank Risk ; Prudential Regulation ; Financial Markets ; Local Economic Development
