Workshop Announcement

Workshop on the Appropriate Government Role in U.S. Mortgage Markets

April 27-28, 2017

Overview
The United States government has a long history of extensive involvement in domestic mortgage markets. For example, the housing government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs)—Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank System—provide more than $5.8 trillion in funding for the U.S. mortgage markets and financial institutions. The Workshop on the Appropriate Government Role in U.S. Mortgage Markets is an opportunity for informed and involved participants to discuss fundamental issues related to the government’s role in mortgage finance. The Workshop will emphasize the discussion of ideas rather than paper presentations. A goal is to illuminate the logical, empirical, and practical foundations for government involvement, if any, in mortgage markets. We hope these discussions will be useful in future deliberations regarding GSEs and mortgage market reforms.

Audience
The attendees will consist of senior representatives from academia, government, nonprofit organizations, and private companies, all of whom are involved with mortgage finance in some capacity. Attendance is by invitation only.
