Kaufman’s presentation, titled Pending Financial Reforms: A Critical Review, will focus on the Obama Administration’s wide range of financial system reforms in response to the recent financial turmoil to reduce the probabilities of a recurrence.
Some are in coordination with reforms proposed by other industrial countries through the G20. Some require congressional approval, while others do not. Many are highly controversial. Dr. Kaufman’s talk will critically analyze the more important proposals and identify the pros and cons of these reforms.
Kaufman is the John F. Smith Professor of Finance and Economics and Director of the Center for Financial and Policy Studies in the School of Business Administration, Loyola University, Chicago. Before teaching at Loyola, he was a research fellow, economist and research officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and has been a consultant to the Bank since 1981.
Previously, he was the John Rogers Professor of Banking and Finance and Director of the Center for Capital Market Research in the College of Business Administration at the University of Oregon and has been a visiting professor at the University of Southern California, Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley, and a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and the Office of the Comptroller of Currency.
