      Authors are invited to submit theoretical or empirical
      papers on issues related to the overall stability and
      instability of national and international financial markets
      and institutions, including but not limited to:

      - How should we define a financial system's
        "(in)stability"?
      - Has the financial system become more or less stable in
        recent decades?
      - How have hedge funds affected financial stability?
        Globalization? Domestic banking systems?
      - How could policymakers or market participants promote
        financial system stability?
      - What does an unstable financial system look like, in
        real time? How should policymakers manage and resolve a
        financial crisis?
      - Does actual or conjectural government intervention in
        financial markets provide a net stabilizing force?
      - Does a financial system's stability vary with its stage
        of development?
      - What determines the spillover of one country's financial
        problems to another?
