Abstract

The first annual Bank Research Conference was held at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 2000. The conference has served to disseminate policy-relevant research on issues affecting the banking sector and the stability of the financial system. We evaluate the impact of the conference on policy and research communities, financial regulation, and the banking and finance literature. We examine the topics discussed since the conference’s inception and we provide qualitative evidence that the conference has contributed to policy implementation and evaluation. We also examine publication status and citation counts and show that the conference has made an important contribution to research in banking and finance.

A full list of BRC session titles is included in Appendix 1, and presentations are organized by topic in Appendix 2.

The inaugural Poster Session at the 2019 conference was not limited to graduate students.

See Appendix 3 for a list of keynote addresses.

There was no conference in 2001 as the Bank Research Conference was initially planned to be biennial. Following the success of the first conference, FDIC sponsors committed additional resources to make it an annual conference.

The 2020 Bank Research Conference was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Similar results are obtained by charting the frequency of identifying keywords used in the titles of conference presentations.

Presentations from 2008 were submitted in the spring and selected in the summer, before the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

Hett and Schmidt (2017), for example, find that market discipline deteriorated over the course of the crisis following the rescue of Bear Stearns.

In 2012, the FDIC launched a Consumer Research Symposium focused on research in consumer finance.

The process is often complicated as papers sometimes change titles during the publication process. Rarely, too, authors are added or removed.

The timeline is not comprehensive as other financial system regulations were promulgated during the period.

Fast Track Sessions include papers that did not fit within other conference sessions. Those papers are presented in a shared panel without moderator discussion.

The Poster Session is a presentation of a poster-sized billboard of key points of research papers. Posters are displayed in the conference meeting area for discussion between conference sessions.
