The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic sparked unprecedented aggregate
demand and supply shocks across the globe. The international economic
system experienced serious setbacks in investment and employment due to
lockdowns and stalling trade. In response, a plethora of fiscal support
measures for both households and firms and monetary stimulus policies have
been launched to combat the economic fallout. We are keen to better
understand the role of financial systems to channel these policies, whether
financial intermediaries amplify or mitigate real economic shocks, and how
agents in the financial system can ensure effective and efficient
investment allocation over time. This perspective is key given long-term
technology transformation in response to climate change and the
digitalisation of labour. This conference seeks to enhance our
understanding of how to facilitate a sustainable allocation of economic
resources in a post-lockdown world.
The Competitiveness Research Network (CompNet), the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Finance department at the
Leibniz Institute for Economic Research (IWH), invite submission for the
2nd FINPRO conference on the intersection of the two research fields of
financial economics and productivity research. In line with our mission to
connect researchers and (micro) data providers from both the realm of
policy making and academia, we seek to attract papers of the highest
academic quality that include, but are not limited to the following topics:
•    Propagation of financial shocks
•    Technology transformation in a locked-down world
•    Covid-19 & digitalisation of the workplace
•    Green technologies in a post-pandemic world
•    Government involvement and investment allocation
•    Fiscal emergency measures and the cleansing effects of recessions
•    Financial stability and productivity growth
We welcome both empirical and theoretical contributions. Whereas we are
particularly interested in studies that utilise CompNet data, this feature
is not a prerequisite.
The pandemic situation permitting, the IWH will host the 2nd FINPRO
conference as an in-presence event to take place at the German Academy of
Sciences Leopoldina in Halle (Saale) on May 5-6, 2022 .
Further Information:
A limited budget to offer travel re-imbursement according to CEPR rules is
available upon request. There will also be a conference dinner upon
invitation.
Papers should be submitted to FINPRO@iwh-halle.de by January 14, 2022.
Decisions will be mailed to authors by January 28, 2022. We aim for a
high-quality workshop with ample time dedicated to a selected set of around
10 papers that are discussed by an expert in the field.
