Though policy responses to and studies about the causes of the US housing crisis abound, the relationship between collateral value and housing cycles has received scant attention. The summer 2013 conference — cosponsored by the Collateral Risk Network, Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University, and AEI — will focus on housing cycles and their domestic and international systemic impact. Experts from the US, Europe, Canada, and Asia will address efforts and proposals to moderate housing cycles by using countercyclical lending policies.   

More than 150 people attended last year’s conference. This year’s conference will feature keynote speakers Karl Case of the Case-Shiller House Price Index and Bill Isaac, chairman of Fifth-Third Bank and former chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. You will hear from six panels of experts from academia, the appraisal industry, financial community, and regulatory bodies.

We welcome you to participate in person or to watch the event live on this page. Full video will be posted within 24 hours.
