Central Bank of Ireland workshop: "Borrower finances, financial stability assessment and macroprudential policies"
Call for Papers
On 18-19 February 2021, the Central Bank of Ireland will host a research workshop on household and enterprise finances, and their role in financial stability and macroprudential policy assessment. We will place particular focus on household and business financial resilience to the economic shock related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We invite the submission of theoretical and empirical papers that can shed light on topics related to borrower indebtedness and financial resilience, their interaction with economic shocks like that currently being experienced, and the effectiveness and calibration of macroprudential tools.
Topics of interest may include:
- Macroprudential regulations and their effectiveness in improving borrower resilience to shocks such as that related to COVID-19.
- Businesses’ access to credit, liquidity and solvency issues during the pandemic.
- Household finances in the pandemic.
- Mortgage and enterprise credit risk.
- Calibration of macroprudential tools.
- Housing markets and macroprudential regulation.
