Workshop “Using Microdata for Macroprudential Policy – Data, Methods, Applications”
Analyzing risks arising from financial instabilities is essential for central banks but is complicated by the limited suitability of aggregated data for this purpose. The microdata underlying corresponding aggregates often lack sufficient quality, as they are gathered for purposes other than microanalyses, are derived from a large number of sources and based on a wide range of data-gathering techniques and formats, or they simply fail to provide the right information.
During this workshop, we will examine the different types of microdata necessary to support macroprudential policy for financial stability and discuss the relevant data, methods and applications used. Furthermore, we will talk about additional requirements for data gathering and management that are critical to improving financial stability analyses.
