After the Crisis is Before the Crisis

The Research Group on “Financial Crises” of the Österreichische Forschungsgemeinschaft (ÖFG) invites submissions of research papers on the lessons learnt, or not learnt, after the Great Financial Crisis for a conference held at the University of Vienna at April 11-12, 2019.
This conference also constitutes the conclusion of the Working Group “Financial Crises” of the ÖFG.1 10 years after the dramatic failure of Lehman Brothers and the resulting stress of the world financial system this is a good time to assess the consequences of the immediate rescue operations and the medium-run amendments to the global financial architecture. Has the global financial system been made fit for delivering long-run value without the dramatic short-term disruptions and losses of value witnessed ten years ago?
In some respects macroeconomic conditions and market constitutions resemble those ten years ago: interest rates are on the rise and discussions about potential bubbles in real estate and stock markets spread widely. Moreover, an orderly, and even more a disorderly, Brexit is expected to cause extra stress. Is the European financial system prepared?
While theoretical and empirical contributions on all topics related to financial crises are welcome, a focus is placed on the empirical data-based evaluation of policy measures.
