Summer Camp

Call for Papers

The XII Workshop in International Economics and Finance, organized by Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Central Bank of Brazil, LACEA, the World Bank LAC Chief Economist Office and the Brazil Country Office, and IADB, will take place in Rio de Janeiro on April 8-10, 2010. The deadline for submitting papers is January 4, 2010. Papers must be submitted by email to summer@utdt.edu in PDF format. The program will be posted in the workshop's web site, www.utdt.edu/ief-workshop, by February 5, 2010.

The workshop is a unique event that brings together top researchers and policy makers from the North and the South to discuss recent theoretical and empirical advances in International Economics and Finance. The goal of these meetings is to gain a better understanding of the macroeconomic problems faced by Latin American countries and to encourage research on the subject. The program's format will be similar to that of our past meetings. We will discuss nine academic papers in closed seminar style sessions and there will be some sessions of a less technical nature open to a broader audience on April 8th, 2010.

We welcome papers on International Economics, Macroeconomics and Finance that address issues of relevance for the economies of Latin America. Some topics of special interest are:

 

• The 2007-9 Global Financial Crisis and its effects on emerging economies

• Macroeconomic management of terms of trade shocks

• Monetary policy in emerging economies

• Sovereign risk and government portfolios

• Credit markets and economic activity

 

A program committee formed by Ariel Burstein (UCLA), Tito Cordella (WB), Alejandro Izquierdo (IADB), Pedro Cavalcanti-Ferreira (FGV), Enrique Mendoza (UM), André Minella (BCB), Guido Sandleris (UTDT) and Andrés Neumeyer (UTDT) will select the papers to be presented in the academic sessions.

Please, fill at this form to indicate your willingness to participate in the XII Workshop in International Economics and Finance. You can also send an email to summer@utdt.edu.
