OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Bank regulation, crisis risk, and investment incentives (with John Cochrane)
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.
