The Economics and Econometrics of Recurring Financial Market Crises

Project Members: Pierre Siklos

PROJECT AIMS

A joint event and project sponsored by CIGI, The Viessmann European Research Centre and The University of Tasmania's School of Economics and Finance, The Economics and Econometrics of Recurring Financial Market Crises aims to generate serious discussion and policy options on models of financial markets and economic policies dealing with financial crises.

BACKGROUND

Since eruption of a full-scale global financial crisis in 2007, existing models and policies to deal with crises have come under scrutiny. At the forefront now are models capable of identifying how financial markets react to shocks, policies that seem to impede price discovery and the sensitivity of markets to international regulation and supervision.

Under the project, CIGI, The Viessmann European Research Centre and The University of Tasmania's School of Economics and Finance will bring together leading academics and policy makers to discuss and debate their latest findings.

MAIN ACTIVITIES

Conference organizers have announced a call for papers; academics, policy makers and students were encouraged to submit proposals for discussion by April 30, 2011. The project partners will select papers, assemble a group of experts and convene a meeting at the CIGI Campus from October 3-4, 2011. In addition to accepting papers for discussion, the project will produce research outputs on its findings.
