FINANCIAL MARKETS AND THE MACROECONOMY:
CHALLENGES FOR CENTRAL BANKS
November 6-7, 2009
Sveriges Riksbank, Stockholm, Sweden
The financial turmoil currently impacting many countries
around the globe raises critical questions about the
structure of financial systems and the linkages between
financial and real sectors. In light of these developments,
Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, will host a
workshop on "Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy:
Challenges for Central Banks" on November 6-7, 2009.
TOPICS:
The aim of the workshop is to discuss the implications of
financial disruption for the economy and the new challenges
that the current situation poses for central banks. We
welcome theoretical and empirical work addressing the
following topics:
(i) financial intermediation and the macroeconomy,
(ii) financial markets and banking in macro models,
(iii) the link between financial stability and monetary
policy, and
(iv) low interest rate environments and debt-deflation
scenarios.
