This conference, jointly hosted by the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis, Australian National University, considered the substantial swings in global commodity prices, particularly of food and energy, over recent years. Specifically, it examined the causes and nature of these price shocks, their effect on economies around the world, and how policy makers should respond to relative price movements.

This paper analysed the impact of regulatory capital requirements on the risk taking behavior of value maximizing banks using a dynamic financial intermediation model. It investigated several cases of intertemporal effects of capital regulation on risk choices when banks face different regulatory conditions. The results reveal differences in a bank's risk taking behavior based on profit, multiplier, and leverage effects. The relationships between retention rate, discount factor, and risky asset return have important implications for first and/or second best regulation. Optimal regulatory rules are derived for different scenarios.

This two-day conference run by the Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis at the Australian National University and the Reserve Bank of Australia brings together leading researchers from the US, Europe and Oceania to present recent advances in behavioural macroeconomics. The themes and papers have a strong theoretical footing, but the workshop's purpose is to showcase the range of applications of behavioural methods and to display their policy relevance. The workshop will therefore be of interest to academics and research students, to policy makers from central banks and government departments as well as to financial market economists.

Organised by the Westfälische Wilhelms University, Wilfrid Laurier University and Viessmann European Research Centre,
Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis (CAMA), and the Reserve Bank of Australia this conference considered the substantial swings in global commodity prices, particularly of food and energy, over recent years. Specifically, it examined the causes and nature of these price shocks, their effect on economies around the world, and how policy makers should respond to relative price movements.

A follow up conference hosted by the Reserve Bank of Australia and Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis (CAMA) will be held in August 2009 in Sydney Australia.
