The International Monetary Fund will hold the Eleventh Jacques Polak Annual
Research Conference at its headquarters in Washington DC on November 4-5,

researchers and policymakers. Anil Kashyap (University of Chicago Booth

The theme of the conference is *Macroeconomic and Financial Policies after
the Crisis.* The Program Committee welcomes papers that investigate the

· cyclical fiscal policy
· international policy coordination
· reform of financial architecture
· responses to international financial flows in emerging markets
· implications of real-financial linkages
· political economy aspects

paper, the author(s) affiliation and contact information, the main
questions to be examined, the most relevant literature, the intended
