SOCIAL, SOVEREIGN AND GEOPOLITICAL RISKS

GRETA Associati (Venice, Italy), CRIF (Bologna, Italy), European Datawarehouse (Frankfurt, Germany), European Investment Bank (Luxembourg), European Investment Fund (Luxembourg) and Intesa Sanpaolo (Milan, Italy) are partners in organasing a Conference to be held in Venice on September 21-22, 2023.

The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and socio-economic risk with the aim of creating a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy as well as industry-relevant insights and directions for future research.

The conference, organised under the auspices of the Department of Economics and VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), ABI - Italian Banking Association, AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria and AIFIRM - Associazione Italiana Financial Industry Risk Managers, is the twenty-second of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk.

Recent years have seen a series of crises (from health/pandemic to climate/energy) that have not only put a strain on global mechanisms previously seen as robust,  but have exacerbated existing weaknesses and so increased vulnerability in new crisis situations. The social impact of the pandemic was partially mitigated by public interventions but social conditions then worsened with the soaring costs of energy, raw materials and inflation more broadly. Social and energy costs, which inevitably weigh on invidual countries and aggravate already delicate local situations (e.g., public debts), have led to growing geopolitical tensions, with global systemic consequences. The C.r.e.d.i.t. 2023 conference will be dedicated to Social, Sovereign and Geopolitical Risks to discuss, evaluate and address the near- and medium-term macro-financial impact of persistent crises (“permacrisis”) that can affect the stability of financial as well as socio-economic systems.

The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include Elisa Giuliani (University of Pisa), Helen Rey (London Business School), Roberto Rigobon (MIT Sloan School of Management)  and Moritz Schularick (Sciences Po Paris & University of Bonn). The Conference will also include panel discussions on the major issues at stake with the views of researchers', practitioners' and policy makers and a session dedicated to the EU funded project TranspArEEnS.

The Networking dinner will be held at Taverna La Fenice, on Thursday, September 22.

Taverna La Fenice was born and developed in symbiosis with the theatre “La Fenice”. The tavern is indeed adjacent to the entrance of the theatre from which artists got on the stage. From the foundation of the theatre, Taverna La Fenice has been a meeting place, where it is possible to enjoy a dinner or a cocktail. The place became a restaurant in 1860, but was best known for the corner bar open until late at night.

Today the Tavern is an attractive and refined alternative, where you can enjoy traditional and healthy recipes as well as drink just a great glass of red wine.

COMPOUND RISK: CLIMATE, DISASTER, FINANCE, PANDEMIC

GRETA Associati (Venice, Italy), Cattolica Assicurazioni (Verona, Italy),  European DataWarehouse (Frankfurt am Main, Germany), European Investment Bank (Luxembourg), European Investment Fund (Luxembourg) and Intesa Sanpaolo (Milan, Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September 23-24, 2021.

The Conference will bring together academics, practitioners and PhD students working in various areas of financial and credit risk with the aim to create a unique opportunity for participants to discuss research progress and policy and industry-relevant insights as well as directions for future research.

The Conference, organised under the auspices of the Department of Economics and VERA - Venice centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for public policies (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice), ABI - Italian Banking Association, AIAF - Associazione Italiana per l'Analisi Finanziaria and the Joint Research Center, European Commission (Ispra, Italy), is the twentieth of a series dedicated to various aspects of credit risk.

The theme of this year’s conference is the relation between financial risk on the one hand and pandemic, climate and disaster risk, on the other hand, with particular attention to the possible compounding of different sources of risk.

The past year, 2020, has been marked by the still-ongoing COVID-19 pandemic crisis, which has shown how fragile our economic systems can be when confronted with shocks that threaten public health and the closeness of the connections between economic and financial risks and public policy.

Climate change is now widely recognized as a new source of financial risk which is relevant both at the level of households and individual institutions and the systemic level. In particular, the many central banks and financial institutions that have joined the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) have issued recommendations on how to integrate climate considerations into risk management strategies and practices.

However, risks such as pandemics and climate change do not occur in isolation but can also compound, as has already been seen in several countries. The compounding of risk, which is currently poorly understood, increases the complexity of risk assessment and risk management, and it has implications for socio-economic development, as well as for public debt sustainability.

In the EU, these aspects have major implications for efforts to increase the resilience of the economy to future shocks and to “build back better”, and requires the alignment of COVID-19 recovery policies, such as those supported by the NextGenerationEU, and the EU Green Deal and the Paris Agreement targets.

The final program will include both submitted and invited papers. Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include Vittoria Colizza (INSERM, France), Robert Engle (Stern Business School, New York University) and Roberto Rigobon (MIT Sloan School of Management) who will deliver keynotes, respectively on finance and on epidemics.

The Conference will also feature panel discussions on researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major issues at stake.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The organizers encourage submissions on a range of topics of relevance to this year’s theme including: finance and COVID-19; finance and climate risks; finance and compound COVID-19 and climate risks. In particular, submissions are welcome in the following areas:

• INVESTMENTS: Sustainable Finance, Disaster risk finance; Finance 4 good; public finance; blended finance;
• POLICIES: Climate Policies, European Green New Deal; Next Generation EU; Recovery Plan;
• INFORMATION: Data gaps; modelling challenges; risk transmission channels; uncertainty; complexity.

Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by May 31, 2021 to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).

Please indicate to whom correspondence should be addressed. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by June 30, 2021.

The final version of accepted papers must be received by August 31, 20201.
