The Theory and Structure of Financial Regulatory Agencies (panel)

Larry Walker Room, Rusk Hall

Georgia was the epicenter of bank failures in the recent financial crisis. This panel discusses issues related to the federal and state agencies that oversee the financial sector: the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the OCC, the SEC, the DBF (State of Georgia), and the newly created FSOC and CFPB. The financial crisis spurred major changes in agency structure and power as well as the creation of new regulatory bodies. Panelists discuss how these agencies interact with the regulated and how their organization and processes have shifted after the financial crisis and reforms that followed.
