Sveriges Riksbank, Stockholm, Sweden
Aim
The financial turmoil currently impacting many countries around the globe raises critical questions about the structure of financial systems and the linkages between financial and real sectors. In light of these developments, Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, will host a workshop on “Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy: Challenges for Central Banks” on November 6–7, 2009.
The aim of the workshop is to discuss the implications of financial disruption for the economy and the new challenges that the current situation poses for central banks. We welcome theoretical and empirical work addressing the following topics:
(i) financial intermediation and the macroeconomy, (ii) financial markets and banking in macro models, (iii) the link between financial stability and monetary policy, and (iv) low interest rate environments and debt-deflation scenarios.
