For release on delivery 8:30 a.m. EDT September 27, 2019  Law and Macroeconomics: The Global Evolution of Macroprudential Regulation  Remarks by Randal K. Quarles Vice Chair Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at “Law and Macroeconomics,” a conference at Georgetown University Law Center  Washington, D.C.  September 27, 2019  Good morning.
I would like to thank Georgetown University Law Center and the conference organizers, Anna Gelpern and Adam Levitin, for the opportunity to speak to you. I was particularly delighted to be asked to speak at today’s conference because the topic is law and macroeconomics, a field that my experience has persuaded me is of the first importance, but ill understood, and surprisingly understudied.
