Research Handbook of Macroprudential Policy

This forward-looking Research Handbook provides a definitive overview of macroprudential policymaking. It sheds light on the analytical tools and conceptual frameworks that support contemporary financial stability regimes and examines how leading central banks deploy measures from bank capital requirements and housing-credit limits to stress testing.Leading experts draw on lessons learnt from major financial crises including the 2007-2009 Global Financial Crisis, the 2020 Covid-19 'dash for cash', and the 2023 Silicon Valley Bank crisis, to assess how, and under what conditions, macroprudential instruments succeed and fail. The Research Handbook explores the dynamic interactions between these tools and monetary policy, housing markets, credit cycles and emerging threats such as non-bank finance, crypto, cross-border capital flows and climate risk. Organised into seven thematic sections, the Research Handbook distils international cutting-edge research into practical insights and identifies priorities for further inquiry into how to avert, or better manage, future financial crises.The Research Handbook of Macroprudential Policy is an excellent resource for scholars and researchers in banking regulation, economics and finance, business and management and public policy. It is also an accessible guide for practitioners, policymakers and regulators looking to make informed decisions on safeguarding financial systemic resilience.
