VIENNA SYMPOSIUM ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETS
The WU Research Institute for Capital Markets (ISK) will organize the annual VIENNA
SYMPOSIUM ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKETS from August 23-24, 2021 in Vienna at Palais Coburg.
We currently expect that the evolution of the pandemic will allow a residential format in
August. To alleviate health concerns and broaden the audience, we will offer
remote-participation alternatives.
TOPIC
Research on risk premia, factors, and predictive regressions has traditionally focused on
equity markets, while research on foreign exchange has been lagging despite its huge
potential. Currently, the low yield environment, large international portfolio flows and
unconventional monetary policy have made it crucial for asset managers to incorporate FX
strategies and FX risk management. We therefore welcome papers on FX risk premia, FX
strategies, FX valuation, FX and monetary policy, Emerging Market currencies, currency
pegs, FX regimes, FX and business cycle, etc.
In addition to the above-mentioned research themes, we particularly encourage the
submission of papers that deal with the interaction of FX and interest rates as well as
interaction of FX and sovereign risk.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Deadline for submission is March 1, 2021. To submit your paper please click

at the conference venue, lunches, and conference dinners. In addition, we have a limited
number of travel grants available.
