fem2022 : Financial Economics Meeting (FEM-2022): New challenges post-COVID-19 related to Monetary policy, capital flows, and exchange rate frameworks

30 Jun-1 Jul 2022 Paris (France)

Overview

The 3^rd Financial Economics Meeting (FEM-2022), jointly organized by the ESSCA School of Management, Paris (France), EDC Paris Business School, Paris (France), CY Cergy Paris University, Cergy (France), and Athens University of Economics and Business, (Greece), will take place on 30 June-01 July 2022 in Paris (France).

In the last twenty years, a variety of turbulent episodes, including the internet bubble, the subprime crisis, sovereign debt, and the Coronavirus pandemic, have shaped the financial and economic system. Financial markets exhibit elevated uncertainty and complexity, which have led to several transformations in both financial and economic systems. Developments in commodities markets have yielded lessons on hedging, portfolio diversification, and pricing. The Subprime crisis and its aftermath led to novel regulatory policies, notably including Basle III. We have also witnessed innovations in governance at both macro and micro levels, and enhanced interest in ethical and sustainable standards in finance. More recently, alternative forms of money have been introduced, including Bitcoin and others, that raise new questions for financial markets, as well as challenges for financial regulators.

Economic volatility has been high for both emerging and advanced economies. Emerging economies have witnessed changes in their macroeconomic environments, as countries opened to trade and financial flows, and adopted more flexible exchange rate regimes. As a result, fluctuations in capital flows and exchange rates have become larger and more persistent. In consequence, many emerging central banks have pursued foreign exchange interventions and macroprudential and capital flow management measures. The recent COVID-19 outbreak again has challenged their policymakers with sharp currency depreciations and large capital outflows. In addition to the aforementioned subprime crisis, which introduced the implementation of unconventional monetary policy, the euro area crisis and related difficulties in sovereign debt crisis raised economic uncertainty. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the macroeconomic environment, leading to elevated exchange rate volatility and innovations in monetary policy in response.

In line with the evolving financial and macroeconomic situation, methodologies in econometrics have developed new approaches to accommodate modeling complexity, nonlinearity, chaotic behavior, high-frequency data, big data, and networks.

We invite authors to submit proposals covering these topical issues related to the recent challenges on to macroeconomic frameworks and financial systems. Authors will be expected to participate in the conference and papers will be eligible for publication, subject to editorial review as discussed below. We cordially invite academics, practitioners, and policymakers who address these issues to submit papers.
