GRETA Associati (Venice, Italy), European DataWarehouse (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), Intesa Sanpaolo (Milan, Italy) and S&P Global Market Intelligence (London, UK) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 26-27, 2019. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and Ph.D. 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 financial and atmospheric events 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, AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria (Milan, Italy) and the Joint Research Center, European Commission (Ispra, Italy), is the eighteenth of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk.
The adoption of the Paris
Agreement on climate change and the UN 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development marks a historical
international commitment to the objective of a
more sustainable economy and society. How to
mobilise the necessary financing for green and
sustainable investments is thus a primary need. Meanwhile, Regulators are discussing about a green-supporting or a brown-penalising factor since they want to make sure financial institutions are prepared. It is to find the way to support sustainable investments but it is primarily a discussion about credit risk. The banking and insurance
industries and more in general the financial
sector has to develop new asset management
strategies and to adjust their credit allocation
practices to cope with these new challenges and
take advantage of the new opportunities. All these
changes call for a substantial amount of research
to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play
and to design adapted policy tools. The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include Robert Engle (New York University), Andreas Hoepner (University College Dublin), Irene Monasterolo (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) and Til Schuermann (Oliver Wyman, New York). The Conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major outstanding problems.
