A Balanced Discussion on "Too Big to Fail"

Since the beginning of the current global financial crisis, the role of large financial institutions in stabilizing and destabilizing economies has proven controversial.  Systemic risk and “TBTF” are again the subject of intense debate on Main Street, Wall Street and in the halls of Congress. This panel discussion will provide a well-balanced presentation of the TBTF problem, and various ways to address it.  The panel will include experts from the perspectives of the regulator, the industry and independent academic experts. Panelists will include: Harvey Rosenblum, Executive Vice President and Director of Research, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas; Paul Saltzman, President of The Clearing House Association; EVP & General Counsel of The Clearing House Payments Company Laurence Kotlikoff, Professor of Economics at Boston University and Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research; Cornelius Hurley, Director, Boston University Center for Finance, Law & Policy. The discussion will be moderated by William P. Mayer, a Partner at Goodwin Procter LLP.
