Conference Overview

An interdisciplinary group of scholars will present nine original empirical papers exploring the terms and characteristics of subprime mortgages, based on a unique database, created with the generous support of the Ford Foundation, offering unprecedented loan-level details of mortgage terms and borrower characteristics compiled from actual loan files.

Speakers will include economists, geographers, sociologists and legal scholars, addressing, inter alia, the effectiveness of disclosures, equity stripping and the use of subprime loan proceeds, and racial disparities in subprime pricing and loan terms.  The symposium will be held at Valparaiso Law School in Valparaiso, Indiana on March 26, 2010.
