(Frankfurt, Germany), the University of Zurich (Zurich,
Switzerland) and Intesa Sanpaolo (Milan, Italy) are
co-sponsors of
a Conference to be held in Venice on October 1-2, 2015. 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 fourteenth of a series dedicated to
various aspects of credit risk.
The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within
the
overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in
particular:
Wealth inequality, firm financing and credit risk
Is local wealth inequality affecting the quality of
institutions and
the choice over market versus bank finance, and thereby
determining
corporate finance and credit risk outcomes?
Home ownership and credit risk
Are measures promoting home ownership or financial
innovations
responding to an increase in ownership demand, for example,
resulting in
more credit risk?
Collateral availability, credit and risk
Is the availability of collateral determining credit
granting and
credit risk?
Banking supervision and credit risk
Is the level and quality of bank supervision leading to an
optimal
level of credit risk?
What is the impact of the institutional organization of
banking
supervision on credit risk?
Central bank policies and credit risk
Are monetary conditions drivers of bank credit risk
taking? Under all
circumstances?
