INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
C. R. E. D. I. T. 2009 Credit Risk, Financial Crises, and the Macroeconomy Venice, Italy

(Conegliano, Italy), Financial Innovations (Milan, Italy) and
Bank of Italy (Venice, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to
be held in Venice on September 24-25, 2009. The objective of the
Conference is to bring together academics, practitioners and PhD
students
working in the area of credit risk modeling to discuss credit risk at a
time of financial crisis and the impact of macroeconomic factors on
pricing risky debt, financial distress, recovery rates, and banking
stability. The conference will provide an opportunity for
participants engaged in research at the forefront of this area to
discuss
both the causes and implications of recent events in financial markets
and may, in turn, suggest fruitful directions for future research. The
Conference, organised under the auspices of the Department of
Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice and ABI -
Italian Banking Association, is the eighth of a series
dedicated to various aspects of credit risk.
The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the
overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in
particular:
- Impact of the financial crisis and banking instability on credit
markets;
- Credit risk and business cycles;
- The interplay between the real and financial sides of the
macroeconomy;
- Modeling the economics of financial crises.
