The 16th Annual Conference of the Paul Woolley Centre for the Study of Capital Market Dysfunctionality will take place on 6th-7th June 2024, at the LSE in person. It has been scheduled this year to coincide, as a joint conference, with the 4th Annual Conference on Non-Bank Financial Sector and Financial Stability. The conference is organized in partnership with the Bank of England and the Brevan Howard Centre at Imperial College.
Research at the Paul Woolley Centre aims to understand capital markets' workings and the social efficiency of allocations these markets achieve. The research departs from the Arrow-Debreu view of frictionless markets and emphasises the role of financial intermediaries (e.g. investment banks, mutual, hedge, and pension funds) in influencing prices and allocations. The Centre holds a conference each year based on these broad themes to bring together researchers working on such questions, disseminate their research, and stimulate the development of new ideas.
This year's edition of the conference will focus on the growing role of non-bank financial institution in intermediating credit and on their relationship with banks. There will be four sessions on: monetary policy and institutional trading, monetary policy and financial stability, fintech, and shadow banks and lending. There will also be a policy panel on monetary policy and financial stability.
