Deadline for the submission of papers: 18 November 2014

Hosted by the European Central Bank (ECB)

Following the first international conference on sovereign bond markets held in Tokyo, the second and third conferences will take place in Frankfurt am Main and New York respectively. The second conference is co-sponsored by the following:

  • Research Center SAFE (Sustainable Architecture for Finance in Europe) at Goethe University Frankfurt (Frankfurt am Main, Germany)
  • Center for Finance Research, Waseda University (Tokyo, Japan)
  • Salomon Center for the Study of Financial Institutions, NYU Stern (New York, USA)
  • European Central Bank (Frankfurt am Main, Germany).

The objective of the three conferences is to bring together leading academics, practitioners and policy-makers in the field of sovereign bond markets. It will provide an opportunity for discussion on both the causes and the implications of recent events in this field, which could lead to interesting suggestions for the direction of future research. Speakers will include prominent academics, industry experts and senior officials/researchers from the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve System. The three conferences are organised under the auspices of The Society for Financial Econometrics (SoFiE), CREDIT Network (GRETA, Venice, Italy) and the SYRTO project and will focus on various aspects of sovereign bond markets.

The key aim of the three conferences is to address the effects that recent non-standard central bank policy measures, such as government bond purchases and large injections of liquidity, have had on sovereign risk and sovereign bond markets, especially given that these measures will ultimately have to be unwound.

We welcome the submission of papers covering the following topics:

  1. The impact of non-standard measures on sovereign bond markets
  2. Credit risk, sustainability and market malfunctioning: drivers of euro area sovereign bond spreads
  3. The role of derivatives markets in the pricing and trading of sovereign bonds
  4. Stress in sovereign debt markets: measurement and impact on yield curve dynamics

Papers on other related topics may also be considered.

The members of the Scientific Committee for the conference taking place in Frankfurt am Main are: Robert F. Engle, NYU Stern School of Business, Jun Uno, Waseda University, Paolo Pasquariello, University of Michigan Business School, Monica Billio, University of Venice, Loriana Pelizzon, SAFE - Goethe University Frankfurt, Toshinao Yoshiba, Bank of Japan, Simone Manganelli, European Central Bank, and Michael Fleming, Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The final programme will include presentations of both submitted and invited papers and a keynote speech by Raghuram Rajan (Governor of the Reserve Bank of India). The conference will also feature a panel discussion on researchers’ and practitioners’ views on the major outstanding issues in sovereign bond markets.

Paper submission procedure

Interested authors should submit their papers by 18 November 2014 to sovereign.conference@greta.it. Papers will be selected by 20 December 2014. The final version of accepted papers must be received by 31 January 2015.
