June 14-15, 2004

Call for Papers
The Banco de España and the International Monetary Fund are organizing an
international research conference to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the
Bretton Woods System. The conference will take place in Madrid, Spain on
June 14-15, 2004. The main goal of the conference is to promote an
exchange of views between leading academics, high-level officials and
private sector representatives on issues related to debt, deficits, and
exchange rates, three broad policy areas that are widely seen as critical
for the future configuration of the international monetary system.
The organizers invite the global academic community to submit original
theoretical or empirical research papers that shed light on those three
broad areas. In particular, the organizers are seeking papers with a focus
on either industrial or emerging market economies that address the
following topics:
* links between debt and economic performance
* debt sustainability-measures and policy implications
* exchange rates and global current account imbalances
* links between debt crises and currency crises
* crises resolution strategies
* links between exchange rate regimes and economic performance
* the nexus between fiscal performance and exchange rate regimes
* regional integration and global currencies in the 21st century
A Program Committee comprised of staff from the Directorate General of
International Affairs of the Banco de España and from the IMF's Research
Department and the IMF's Institute will evaluate all submissions. The
quality of the submission, its originality, and its policy relevance for a
wide range of countries or regions and for the international monetary
system, will be the main criteria the Committee will use to select the
papers to be presented at the conference.
The organizers are considering compiling an unedited volume of the
conference proceedings, including transcripts of the panel discussions, to
permit widespread dissemination of the conference's key findings and
conclusions.
The submission deadline for detailed outlines of papers is January 9,
2004. Authors of selected papers will be notified by end January, 2004.
The final version of the paper should be ready by May 21, 2004. Authors of
papers presented at the conference will receive an honorarium of US$
3,000. All travel expenses will be covered by the organizers.
Submission procedures. Full drafts, or detailed outlines of papers to be
prepared especially for the conference should be submitted in PDF format
to the following e-mail address RESMadridConference@imf.org . The outlines
should be thorough, and indicate clearly the main question(s) the paper
will address and the methodology it will employ to analyze those
questions, as well as cite examples from the recent literature on the
subject that best resemble the type of paper envisaged by the author(s).
