The program will also include the following four papers picked from a large response to our Call for Papers:

• “The Federal Reserve’s Use of International Swap Lines,” Colleen M. Baker (Notre Dame);
• “Investment Company as Instrument: The Limitations of the Corporate Governance Regulatory Paradigm,” Anita K. Krug (Univ. of Washington); and
