GOVERNMENT CONTINGENT CLAIMS:
Growth and Consequences
(Hybrid Event)

Governments worldwide increasingly rely on contingent claims to achieve their policy goals. Such claims include deposit insurance, too-big-to-fail guarantees, credit support for firms and households, disaster insurance, and many others.

-What are the micro- and macro-economic consequences of recent policy developments in this area?
-How should benefits and costs be assessed?
-How should the risks be quantified and managed?

The conference will bring together leading academics, policymakers and practitioners to explore these issues with a day of panel discussions and paper presentations.
