OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Standard analyses of optimal bank capital requirements used by policy makers effectively assume risk neutrality despite risk aversion being fundamental to the problem that they address. Moreover, by reducing the probability and severity of financial crises, greater bank capital affects stochastic discount factors and hence investment incentives. We show in a simple model how this effect is typically positive because investment incentives are usually stronger when crisis risk is reduced.
