Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites authors to submit new research that can help central banks deal with the challenges facing the global economy and financial system during these times of financial market turbulence.  Following COVID-19 and the financial crisis, few problems are as important today as accelerating the financial recovery in economies across the globe. A key to resolving this is re-thinking the financial architecture of both advanced and developing countries alike.

This Special Issue will address all aspects of the financial system, from new processes and practices arising from enhanced measurement and model formulation to improved strategies and regulation required to strengthen and protect the financial system from future crises.

Financial markets makers and central banks require a multi-disciplinary and market-oriented approach to offer new perspectives on the underlying dynamics and measurement of risk, allowing them to generate creative and practical policy solutions to stabilise the financial system. Empirical and conceptual research, with an emphasis on rigor, is very welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Financial risk management;
  • Regulation and risk management;
  • Risk measurement and risk management tools;
  • Econometric methods and statistical distributions;
  • Banking and financial stability;
  • Emerging markets and development finance;
  • Financial intermediation, banking and bank balance sheets;
  • Monetary policy, monetary aggregation, exchange rate models;
  • Index number theory, measurement error;
  • Machine learning, opening the black box and rule extraction;
  • Microeconomics and revealed preference tests;
  • Green economy, green banking, green finance;
  • Exchange rate risk and exchange rate models;
  • Banking, emerging economies and financial development;
  • Risk, liquidity and the business cycle;
  • Big data, bankruptcy, financial distress;
  • Banking regulation, optimal taxation, macro finance;
  • Financial intermediation, financial frictions, fiscal policy;
  • Credit risk management, quantitative finance, financial policy analysis.
