Programme
A central theme in the outpouring of analysis on the causes of the global financial crisis is that large financial institutions created substantial amounts of systematic risk, which then was realized and nearly brought down the global financial system. Put in terms of corporate governance, two possibilities emerge. The management of large financial institutions were disloyal to their shareholders, the agents taking more risk than their principals desired, perhaps encouraged by highly incentivised compensation schemes. Alternatively, management loyally took on excessive risk, benefitting the shareholders and externalising the costs to the public. The first possibility suggests a corporate governance response in addition to reform of prudential regulation and resolution authority. The second possibility suggests greater emphasis on regulation, but with the possibility that the corporate governance system could be redesigned to internalise more systemic risk. What is the role of corporate governance in financial system reform? Are corporate governance and the new Financial Regulation complements or substitutes? If complements, how do we design their interaction?

This session will deal with "Living Wills", powers of regulators, automatic versus discretionary triggers, convertible debt and preferred stock, cross-border resolution. How does the FDIC normally operate? Why will the new US rules work better than before? How do the European rules compare to the US rules? What forms of early intervention in the corporate governance of financial institutions are foreseen? How much would be desirable? Are the rules compatible across the Atlantic? Are we able to perform cross-border resolution now, within the EU and across the Atlantic?
