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.
