FINEST workshops are small meetings with an in-depth discussion (from top scholars) of a limited number of high-quality papers with the aim of fostering discussion among academics, policymakers, and practitioners about the evolving challengers facing banks.

Although we invite submissions of papers in all areas related to financial intermediation, preferred topics for this workshop are: Bank Risk and Regulatory Implications, Financial Stability, Systemic Risk, Liquidity Risk, Capital and Liquidity, Failure Resolution and Total Loss Absorbing Capacities, Capital Structure, Ownership Structure and Governance in Banking, Bank Market Structure, Competition, Lending Behavior, Climate Change and ESG, Fintech, AI and data-driven credit and risk analytics.
