This is an enormously rich topic that has many connections between branches of mathematics, and applications to many other scientific disciplines. The central theme is randomness that may arise in various forms: it can be used to construct models for networks, to analyse networks using statistical methods, or as part of stochastic processes on networks. One strand of the school will consider the theory of statistical physics models on networks; another strand will develop tools of statistical inference in network data; and a third strand investigates applications such as networks in neuroscience, traffic and telecommunication. > > The School is primarily aimed at graduate students, but also at postdocs, working in applied probability or in one of the application fields with strong probabilistic flavour. > > Speakers: > Shankar Bhamidi (North Carolina) > Benedikt Jahnel (Berlin) > Max Klimm (Berlin) > Peter Mörters (Bath) > Tiago Peixoto (Bath) > Jörg Polzehl / Karsten Tabelow (Berlin) > Klaus Obermayer / Wilhelm Stannat (Berlin) > Lenka Zdeborová (Saclay) > > For further details and registration, see https://www.math-berlin.de/academics/summer-schools/2017/randgraph. > Registration will be open from 1 April 2017 until 31 May 2017. > > The summer school is supported by the EPSRC via the Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics (SAMBa) at the University of Bath, the DFG via the Berlin Mathematical School and by the Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Berlin. > > Please direct scientific questions about the school to the organisers. > We hope to see you in Berlin at the end of August. > > Best wishes, > > Wolfgang König, koenig(a)wias-berlin.de > Cécile Mailler, c.mailler(a)bath.ac.uk > Marcel Ortgiese, m.ortgiese(a)bath.ac.uk > Matt Roberts, mattiroberts(a)gmail.com > Tim Rogers, t.c.rogers(a)bath.ac.uk > _______________________________________________ > World mailing list > World(a)aleanetwork.net > http://aleanetwork.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/world

International Conference in Venice - CALL FOR PAPERS - DEADLINE May 31, 2017
by Monica Billio 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

16^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CREDIT 2017 */INTEREST RATES, GROWTH and REGULATION /*Venice, Italy 28-29 September 2017 *GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), the *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo* (Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 28-29, 2017. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of recent events in financial markets and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the *Department of Economics of the University Ca' Foscari of Venice*, *ABI - Italian Banking Association *and *European Investment Bank*, is the *sixteenth* of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk. Since 2007, the financial crisis has triggered deep changes of various kinds. Central banks have experimented new monetary policies (low interest rates, quantitative easing, forward guidance...). The banking industry has had to develop new asset management strategies and to adjust its credit allocation practices in order to cope with a new environment characterized, in particular, by a prolonged period of very low risk-free returns. Alternatives and complements to commercial banking have continued their progress. Meanwhile, regulatory frameworks have been reshaped all around the world, with the introduction of new requirements or guidelines. All these changes have called for a substantial amount of research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play during the crisis, to design adapted policy tools and to provide a better description of the new economic and financial environment. The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular: * Low interest rates and asset management: emergence of alternative asset classes; changes in banks asset management, repositioning towards wealth management services. * Low interest rates and econometric modelling: Zero Lower Bound; lift off; unconventional monetary policy; default risk; contagion and systemic risk. * Interest rates and alternative financing: venture capital; credit risk in p2p lending/crowdfunding, is there adverse selection? the financing of SMEs; impact on the real economy. * New regulation environment: impact of Basel 4; internal models versus standardized approach; international harmonization; impact of TLAC (total loss absorbent capacity) and IFRS9. The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of: *Alain Monfort* (CREST-Paris, Programme Chair) *Monica Billio* (Ca' Foscari University of Venice) *Francesca Campolongo* (EU-JRC Unit 'Financial and Economic Analysis') *Helmut Kraemer-Eis* (Head EIF's Research & Market Analysis) *Jan Peter Krahnen* (SAFE - Goethe University) *Steven Ongena* (University of Zurich, SFI & CEPR) *Jean-Paul Renne* (University of Lausanne) *Fulvio Pegoraro* (Bank of France) *Bernd Schwaab* (European Central Bank) CALL FOR PAPERS The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Thomas Philippon *(New York University), *Manju Puri* (Duke University) and *Jean-Paul Renne* (University of Lausanne). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers' and practitioners' views of the major outstanding problems. Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May 31, 2017* to the address given below (preferably in electronic format). Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by *July 10, 2017*. The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 2017.
