Unfortunately, because of the uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that it is not possible (neither safe) to hold the MoFiR workshop on banking in person. However, rather than canceling the workshop, we plan to hold it online, as a webinar (through Zoom, or other platforms). To accomodate differences in the time zones and the limited attention span when moving online, the idea is to concentrate 12 presentations over the afternoons of 4-5 June, 2020.
The preliminary program is available here. More details will follow here.
After eight successful workshops in Ancona (2012, 2013, 2014, 2018), Kobe (2015), Chicago (2016, 2019) and London (2017) the Money and Finance Research Group (MoFiR), together with the Banco de Portugal and the Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics, are pleased to announce the next workshop will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, on 4-5 June, 2020.
The organising committee of this small informal workshop invites submissions of high-quality theoretical and empirical research on financial intermediation. Scholars in the fields of banking and finance will meet to discuss current issues in banking, financial stability, and financial regulation, focusing on policy reforms for a stable global financial environment. The workshop will provide an opportunity for presentations and discussions about policy-relevant research in an informal and highly interactive environment.
The keynote speaker will be Murillo Campello (Cornell University and NBER)
This year the workshop will include an additional half-day (3 June, afternoon) at ISEG, Lisbon, on SME.
