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.
