DESCRIPTION:CfP Deadline Date:July 26, 2021

Event Location:Atlanta, GA

Reserve Bank of Atlanta) and the Center for the Economic Analysis of Risk
(Georgia State University)
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a real economic shock to the global economy
that had potentially very adverse consequences for the financial condition
of individuals and firms. The worst of these possibilities were mitigated
by aggressive responses by fiscal, monetary, and regulatory authorities
throughout the developed world. Yet the shocks resulting from the pandemic
appear likely to have lasting effects on the financial choices of
individuals and firms. These shocks may also result in long lasting changes
in the conduct of the fiscal, monetary, and regulatory policy in both good
times and bad, changes that will also have implications for the private
sector. This workshop seeks to better understand how finance is going to
change as a result of the COVID-19 experience.
We invite academics, professionals, and regulators to submit papers and/or
ideas for panel discussions for this workshop. Long abstracts or,
preferably, complete manuscripts may be submitted no later than July 26,
2021, on the full range of issues associated how finance is going to change
as a result of the COVID-19 experience. These issues include but are not
limited to:
Lessons that firms and individuals can learn about how to be prepared for
large real shocks that may quickly spill over into financial markets and
how to respond when these shocks are realized.
The lessons governments can learn about how best structure assistance to
provide for a rapid recovery and maximum growth after the shock dissipates.
The implications of very low/negative real rates and likely even nominal
rates for years to come as central banks try to hasten economic recovery.
This could include both analysis of how different agents responded during
the downturn and their options as conditions normalize.
The implications of the rapid and decisive action by central banks. Central
banks now have even more experience in combatting financial instability
that can be evaluated to help in addressing future crises. However, there
is the potential moral hazard resulting from market participants learning
more about central bank’s reaction function.
The implications of the rapid advances in the use of technology in serving
retail financial markets and the increased consumer acceptance of that
technology.
Further Information:
Authors are invited to submit full papers or long abstracts using the link
at the top of this page.
In order to complement the forward-looking nature of this conference, we
request that paper submissions be accompanied by a short discussion of the
implications of the paper for the future of finance. This discussion could
be copied directly from the paper submission or it could be a separate
statement. Our intent is for each presentation to devote a few minutes to
this topic. We recognize and expect that most such discussions will be
speculative but it will be informed speculation that may help us better
anticipate the coming changes.
The results of the selection process will be sent by August 23, 2021.
Reasonable travel and accommodation expenses will be covered for the
presenters of accepted papers. Please email Larry Wall with inquiries at
larry.wall@atl.frb.org.
