Call for papers for an upcoming intl conference at NY Fed
Greetings.
I thought you might be interested in a Call for Papers that we are about
to post for a conference to be held at the NY Fed next June. Please let
me know if you have questions.
Best regards,
Linda
CFP --
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will host a conference on June 3 and
4, 2010, on the “Global Dimensions of the Financial Crisis.” The
conference organizers are soliciting submissions that address themes
including, but not limited to, the following:
The Role of Global Financial Markets
The crisis has revealed an extraordinary degree of interdependence among
major economies. What role did financial markets play in the international
transmission of shocks during the crisis? How did financial deleveraging
propagate and magnify shocks across countries?
Dynamics of International Trade, Capital Flows, and Recovery
What accounts for the unprecedented decline in world trade during the
crisis? Can it be explained by inventory dynamics, trade finance
constraints, or other causes?
What determines the different recovery paths across countries?
What new insights have emerged on the issue of current account
sustainability?
What have been the consequences of shifting risk appetites for
international capital flows? How have they differed across developed and
developing economies?
Policy Interventions across Countries
What have been the comparative effects, at home and abroad, of monetary
policy; fiscal policy; extraordinary market interventions (short-sale
bans, bank liability guarantees, recapitalization programs, asset
protection programs, asset purchase programs, and foreign exchange swaps
programs)? What accounts for the very different policy responses observed
across countries?
How has cross-country regulatory arbitrage by firms constrained
policymakers over the course of the crisis?
Exchange Rate Policies, International Currencies, and Foreign Exchange
Reserves
What are the implications of the crisis for the international role of the
dollar and other currencies going forward? Has the debate over Bretton
Woods II been altered by the crisis and the responses of countries?
What have we learned about the use of foreign exchange reserves in a
crisis? When should a country use its reserves? Do reserves play an
important role even when they are not used?
Did lender-of-last-resort programs respond effectively to the crisis? What
are the implications of the crisis for international liquidity programs?
The conference organizers are Linda Goldberg (linda.goldberg_at_ny.frb.org)
and Rebecca Hellerstein (rebecca.hellerstein_at_ny.frb.org). We invite
submission of papers that explicitly test hypotheses. Papers should be
sent electronically by October 30, 2009.
(more later on the address of the Conference Mailbox - meanwhile make sure
to email submissions to me).
