Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last two decades, the banking and financial sectors have experienced multiple crises. The global financial crisis had devastating effects on the global financial system, followed by the European debt crisis, which threatened the existence of the single currency, and finally, the COVID-19 pandemic impeded the functioning of the banking and financial sectors and the global economy as a whole. The literature on banking and other crises is abundant, but little has been said so far about the implications of the above-mentioned issues on the financial sector.
Against this background, the submissions must address both the theoretical and practical implications of the findings in relation to development economics and sustainability.
The main topics of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Macroeconomic uncertainty;
- Financial market and uncertainty;
- Financial crisis;
- International trade and political tensions;
- Banking and Finance after COVID-19 pandemic;
- Sustainable finance;
- Green finance;
- The economics of fintech;
- Financial inclusion and financial technology;
- Cryptocurrency and cybersecurity risk;
- Monetary economics;
- Institutional economics;
- Quantitative finance;
- SME finance;
- Bank–enterprise relationship;
- Monetary integration and financial stability;
- Profitability, stability, competition, and performance;
- Market structure;
- Nonbank financial institutions;
- Remittances and other financial flows.
All manuscripts should be formatted according to the Journal of Risk and Financial Management Instructions for Authors.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
