Overview: While the Basel III reforms focus primarily upon improving the financial system's ability to cope with the shocks that occur after it spins out of control and collides with reality (by, for example, strengthening capital and liquidity requirements), we think that there is also much to be gained by improving the financial system's ability to spin in control in the first place. As history suggests that two of the principle causes of financial markets spinning out of control are poor corporate governance and dysfunctional real estate markets, in this conference we bring together papers that explore the opportunities that may exist to enhance the stability and performance of the financial system by reforming corporate governance and real estate financing.
