FURTHER INFORMATION
The conference will be held at the Hotel Schweizerhof in the mountain resort of Lenzerheide, Switzerland (https://www.schweizerhof-lenzerheide.ch/en/). The academic programme starts Monday morning (April 1) at 08:00 and ends Wednesday (April 3) before noon. Due to capacity constraints, preference will be given to participants who can stay for the whole duration of the conference. Participants should plan to arrive Sunday afternoon (March 31) and leave Wednesday afternoon (April 3). There will be around thirteen papers and discussions (including one session covered by the BIS and possibly one session for advanced PhD students), and there will also be poster sessions featuring around sixteen posters. However ample time for discussion, reflection and outdoor activities will be left for sure.
Accommodation costs and meals during the conference will be sponsored by the Bank for International Settlements, the Swiss Finance Institute and the Universities of St Gallen and Zurich.
A Special Issue on Contemporary Banking Research of Economic Inquiry (a journal of the Western Economic Association International), edited by Steven Ongena (University of Zurich, SFI, KU Leuven & CEPR) and Wesley W. Wilson (University of Oregon), will solicit papers and posters accepted at the conference. Details will be provided during the conference.
