| Abstract: | The papers in this special issue were presented at a conference on Banks and Systemic Risk held at the Bank of England from 23-25 May 2001. The papers covered three broad areas - banks and systemic risk; theory and evidence of market discipline and signals of bank fragility; and capital requirements and crisis prevention. One issue addressed at the conference was whether banking crises do in fact impose externalities on the system. It has been suggested that, with the growth of substitutes for bank intermediation particularly through the development of securities markets, bank failures may not impose substantial costs on economies. The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
