SUMMARY:The Costs and Benefits of International Banking
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
UID:2011_10_18_eltville_635204
DESCRIPTION:International financial integration has increased tremendousl
 y over the past decades. Greater financial integration has been closely 
 associated with the internationalisation of banking: banks’ gross cross-
 border positions have expanded significantly\, foreign subsidiaries and 
 branches are more common\, and bank ownership has become more internatio
 nally diversified. These trends have positive and negative consequences 
 for financial systems\, for the economies that host them\, and for the r
 elevant authorities (central banks and regulators). Yet\, there is surpr
 isingly little consistent evidence on the costs and benefits of internat
 ional banking. Research in this field has been hampered by a lack of app
 ropriate data\, but better theoretical models are also needed to inspire
  empirical work on international banking.\nAgainst this backdrop\, the B
 undesbank is organising a workshop that aims to bring together researche
 rs who are interested in discussing these issues from a theoretical and 
 empirical perspective. Studies concentrating on industrialised countries
  and using micro-data are particularly welcome.
