3rd Joint Research Conference on Firm Financing and Firm Dynamics: "Firms in Times of the Pandemic"

Banque de France, Banca d'Italia and Sciences Po, in cooperation with the CEPR, are organising their third joint research conference on trends in firm organisation, firm financing and firm dynamics, to be held on the 4th of December 2020.

This year's issue of the conference particularly welcomes contributions that aim at highlighting the immediate and the longer-term consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic for firms, in Europe and beyond, as well as assessing the cost and benefits of policies targeted at firms during the first wave of the pandemic in the first semester of 2020.

The conference will feature two keynote lectures by Beata Javorcik (Oxford University, EBRD and CEPR) and David Thesmar (MIT Sloan and CEPR).
