Join us for the annual Phillips lecture which this year will be delivered by Professor Hélène Rey. 

In our world of free capital mobility, we show that Central banks of large currency areas are drivers of financial cycles and of risk taking in the international economy. Emerging markets capital flows are highly sensitive to global conditions. We study the mechanism behind those financial spillovers and find that the distribution of financial intermediaries’ leverage is a good indicator of systemic risk.
