Macroprudential Policy, Monetary Policy, and Financial Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

Financial stability is defined by the European Central Bank, though the characterization is very diverse in the literature, "as a condition in which the financial system - which comprises financial intermediaries, markets and market infrastructures - is capable of withstanding shocks and the unraveling of financial imbalances."

Monetary policy and financial sustainability are linked. However, the role of monetary policy and its implementation came under particular scrutiny after the 2008 crisis, in which one of the main challenges was finance sustainability. Furthermore, in the meantime, many countries started to apply new macroprudential policies aiming at preserving financial sustainability.

The purpose of this Special Issue is bridging the gap by collecting papers that will improve the actual understanding of the influence of macroprudential policies and/or monetary policies on financial sustainability, especially after the Great Recession.

We encourage submissions from scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, addressing the analysis of macroprudential policies and/or monetary policies to achieve financial sustainability. This Special Issue also welcomes contributions from a broad range of fields related to economics and finance at large, including the address of regulatory and institutional issues connected to the topic. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome.
