Innovations Within Our Global Financial Economic System

Dear Colleagues,

The financial economic system is dynamically evolving in response to globalization, new technologies, socioeconomic forces, governmental policies, investor expectations, and political uncertainties, to name but a few forces. As such, financial economics remains a vibrant area of research, especially given the rising importance of interdisciplinary approaches for identifying and solving relevant complex problems. Following the COVID-19 pandemic and the various supply chain disruptions we witnessed, the financial economic system is experiencing many challenges and uncertainties such as inflation, global trade imbalances and disputes between nations, rises in government debt, political tensions, and the proliferation of new digital technologies and bank lending mediums, to name but a few examples. To broaden our understanding of some of these important topics, this call for papers invites original research from an array of disciplines making novel theoretical and/or econometric contributions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• The interplay between finance and the real economy;
• Novel trends in socioeconomic analysis;
• Financial institutions and the economics of trade;
• Movement of labor and capital;
• Globalization and its impact on the financial economic system;
• Exchange rate dynamics and modeling;
• Modeling financial crises and their impacts;
• New emergent technologies within the financial economic system, such as blockchain and digital assets;
• Novel methods for financial econometric modeling of problems;
• Inflation, housing ownership, and issues pertaining to housing economics;
• Energy and agriculture prices and their importance;
• Healthcare economics and delivery;
• Bank lending during times of uncertainty;
• Trade finance and the political economy of trade policy.
