The 7th Darden emerging markets conference will be held March 20-21 at
State Street in Boston. This year's focus is, to some extent, on areas
that might be of interest to people in IFM. Topics include (but are not
necessarily limited to)
* Portfolio management and security pricing
* The role of institutional investors, hedge funds, and private
equity firms
* Capital market liberalization and financial development
* Capital flows and global imbalances, flight to quality
* Corporate governance, transparency, and shareholder rights
* Design and impact of capital market institutions and securities
exchanges
* Risk management and derivatives market
* Design and impact of capital market institutions and securities
exchanges
* Risk management and derivatives market
Local Currency Bond Markets. In addition, Stijn Claessens, me, and
people from the World Bank and IFC will organize one session on local
currency bond markets, in conjunction with the recent GEMLOC initiative
(http://www.gemloc.org/). In general, papers should be submitted through
the conference web site, but if you have something on local bond markets
please forward to Stijn (sclaessens_at_imf.org) and me.
The call is attached and further details are at
http://www.darden.edu/em/. Submission deadline for complete papers is
November 26. $1000 stipend for each paper accepted. Past conferences (
http://www.darden.edu/em/Pastconf.htm) have been quite good. As in past
years, the crowd at the Darden conference should be a nice mix of
academics and practitioners.
Please feel free to forward this to anyone who might have a quality
paper in one of the above areas.
Finally, if the Spring IFM meeting is on March 21 (I believe it was that
Friday last Spring), note that the Darden conference is all day Thursday
plus Friday through mid-day; we'd make sure to schedule you on Thursday
if necessary.
Best,
Frank
