It seems to me that it's gotten a little bit out of the [ unk ] last year and there's a lot of talk about constructive action and it's international type. This is the inspirational thing that people of different countries in the world are coordinating their response to this financial crisis. >> What sort of constructive action are you hearing about? >> Well, we're talking about contingent capital that would help support banks in a crisis like this. We're talking about coordinating regulatory standards. We have all these different countries with different accounting systems and a different capital environment including [ unk ].

I just met Adair Turner at the FSA. But U. K. is-- I don't know if you're asking me to single out countries. There's no really way to say-- I think we learn from all countries. I was just yesterday talking about Chile in South-- I've met someone here from Chile, but I was talking about it, about a financial innovation from that country and I think what we have to do moving forward is to get ideas from every country of the world. >> Okay. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Interview with Yale Professor Robert Shiller","description":"At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, TIME's Barbara Kiviat interviews Yale Economics professor Robert Shiller","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/9dUdJznJ/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2010-01-28T14:57:38.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/9dUdJznJ.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/9dUdJznJ/","duration":"PT2M53S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/9dUdJznJ/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
