Global Research Forum on International Macroeconomics and Finance 2024 - Call for papers

The sixth biennial Global Research Forum on International Macroeconomics and Finance, organised by the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will be held at the European Central Bank on 12-13 November 2024. The conference will be in-person.

Overview

The purpose of the Forum is to promote the discussion of frontier research on empirical and theoretical issues in international finance, global banking and open economy macroeconomics, with a focus on issues relevant to monetary policy and financial stability.

This year’s Forum will focus on the central bank challenges implied by rising geoeconomic fragmentation risk and its consequences for global financial markets and institutions. Hélène Rey (London Business School, NBER and CEPR) will deliver a keynote lecture.

We invite submissions of empirical and theoretical papers with an international focus addressing issues such as:

• Cross-border financial transmission of geoeconomic shocks
• Global impact of economic and financial sanctions
• Patterns in global payments, global capital flows and the international role of currencies in a more fragmented global financial system
• International financial consequences of changes to global supply chains (internal capital markets, insurance of shipping, etc.)

Complete manuscripts (which will be given priority) and extended abstracts should be submitted electronically in PDF format to GRF2024@ecb.europa.eu by 30 April 2024. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by 15 June 2024. Allowable travel expenses of presenting academic authors will be reimbursed in line with ECB rules, but participants from central banks and other official institutions will be expected to cover their own expenses.
