INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
C. R. E. D. I. T. 2009
Credit Risk, Financial Crises, and the Macroeconomy
Venice, Italy
24 - 25 September 2009
GRETA Associati (Venice, Italy) and Intesa Sanpaolo (Milan, Italy) are
co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 24-25,
2009. The objective of the Conference is to bring together academics,
practitioners and PhD students working in the area of credit risk
modeling to discuss credit risk at a time of financial crisis and the
impact of macroeconomic factors on pricing risky debt, financial
distress, recovery rates, and banking stability. The conference will
provide an opportunity for participants engaged in research at the
forefront of this area to discuss both the causes and implications of
recent events in financial markets and may, in turn, suggest fruitful
directions for future research. The Conference, organised under the
auspices of the Department of Economics of the University Ca' Foscari
of Venice and ABI - Italian Banking Association, is the eighth of a
series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk.
The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the
overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in
particular:
* Impact of the financial crisis and banking instability on credit markets;
* Credit risk and business cycles;
* The interplay between the real and financial sides of the macroeconomy;
* Modeling the economics of financial crises.
The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of:
Ilya Strebulaev, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, Programme Chair
Viral Acharya, New York University, London Business School & CEPR
Monica Billio, University of Venice and GRETA
Darrell Duffie, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University
Robert Goldstein, Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota
David Lando, Copenhagen Business School
Stephen Schaefer, London Business School
Allan Timmermann, Rady School of Management, University of California San Diego
The final program will include both submitted and invited papers.
Acceptances received from invited speakers include Martin Hellwig (Max
Planck Institute), Francesco Garzarelli (Goldman Sachs), Christopher
Mayer (Columbia Business School), and Ken Singleton (Graduate School
of Business, Stanford University). The Conference will also feature a
panel discussion on researchers' and practitioners' views of the major
outstanding problems.

Short Biography from Pierre-Louis LIONS
Pierre-Louis Lions received his doctorate from the Université Paris 6
"Pierre and Marie Curie" in 1979, directed by H. Brezis. His large field
of research interests around the theory of nonlinear partial
differential equations ranges from (quantum) physics, fluid mechanics to
mathematics of economy and finance. Lions, together with R. DiPerna,
was the first to prove global (renormalized) solutions to the Boltzmann
equation. In 1994 he received the Fields Medal. Other awards Lions
received include the IBM Prize in 1987 and the Philip Morris Prize in
1991. He is a doctor honoris causa of Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh)
and of the City University of Hong-Kong. He is member of the Académie de
sciences and Officier de la Légion d'Honneur. Currently, he holds the
chair of Partial differential equations and their applications at the
prestigious Collège de France in Paris as well as a position at the
CEREMADE at Université Paris 9 "Dauphine" and at Ecole Polytechnique. In
the paper "viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations", with M.
Crandall, he introduced the notion of viscosity solutions. Another key
technique developped by Lions is "concentration compactness"; he
introduced certain measures to handle the concentrations, including the
Wigner measure. Currently he is interested e.g. in "mean field games" in
mathematical finance. He is on the editorial board of around 25
international journals. His enormous impact on mathematics is enhanced
by the school of his PhD students, starting from M. Esteban and B.
Perthame, his participation in European projects (like the HYKE network)
and his activity in boards both in industry and academic research
(including the board of the WPI).
