WASHINGTON – Georgetown Law and its Institute of International Economic Law will host a conference on Law and Macroeconomics on Sept. 27-28, 2019.

WHAT

Since the 2008 financial crisis, a boom in legal scholarship has explored how new policy approaches could better foster economic growth and financial stability. Leading legal, financial and economic policy experts will discuss emerging themes and challenges in what could be the foundations of a new discipline focused on law and macroeconomics that brings together these new threads of scholarship.

Tarullo, and include panels discussing inflation measurement; finance and the public interest; designing the legal structure of money; systemic implications of mortgage regulation; derivatives markets; time varying rules in financial regulation; EU fiscal rules; antitrust rulemaking; international macroeconomic policy coordination, fintech and financial regulation and more.
