I was quite impressed with the lecturers' empirical findings on financial and systemic risks. Each topic, whether it was credit bubbles or financial contagion, was comprehensively reviewed and analysed. You can see why BSE is highly ranked in the world. Apart from that, the networking of professionals in the field from over 20 countries was an invaluable experience. I strongly recommend this BSE program.

The high quality of the lectures, the impressive collection of instructors, and the great opportunity to network with fellow professionals definitely makes it worthwhile travelling from abroad to attend the course.

The BSE Systemic Risk and Prudential Policy course gave the opportunity of getting to know the latest research and developments in the area of systemic risk. A diverse group of academic researchers and practitioners presented findings on factors that can act as warning signals of a financial crisis or aggravate an existing one. BSE’s faculty explained clearly quantitative models and systemic risk measures and their respective predictive ability on identifying imbalances. Moreover, the implications on micro- and macro-prudential regulation of these latest findings from academic research on systemic risk were discussed, hence providing a broad picture of the new approaches on macro-prudential supervision.
