*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.
