The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers in different fields of finance and economics working on financial stability-related issues. We are inviting high quality submissions of theoretical and empirical nature on macro- and microeconomic aspects of financial stability.
Topics would include, but are not limited to:
• The implications of securitization and other financial innovation for macroeconomic performance, such as the effectiveness of monetary policy and the amplification (or mitigation) of business cycle shocks.
• The role of different institutions and markets and their interactions in managing liquidity risks, contagion and spill-over of shocks.
• The effect of corporate governance structures in financial institutions and markets on stability.
• The relationship between market structure, competition, financial globalization and stability.
• Stability issues arising at non-bank financial institutions, such as hedge funds and insurance companies.
• The incentives of financial institutions to form interconnections and the implications for systemic risk.
