The Fiscal Policies Division of the ECB, in collaboration with the Monetary Policy Strategy Division, is organising the 2014 ECB Public Finance Conference. In view of the crisis experience in Europe over the past years, the conference seeks to explore the interaction of fiscal and monetary policy, particularly but not exclusively in monetary unions. The event will be held in Frankfurt am Main on 11-12 December 2014.

Invited speakers and panellists include members of the ECB Executive Board as well as leading scholars in the field of monetary economics and public policy, including Agnès Bénassy-Quéré, Markus Brunnermeier (tbc), Clemens Fuest, Vítor Gaspar, Iván Werning and Charles Wyplosz.

We would like to invite you to submit new research for presentation at the conference. Possible conference topics include (but are not restricted to):

  • challenges of a single monetary policy with decentralised fiscal policies,
  • the impact of fiscal policies on prices and output,
  • the impact of fiscal policies on the monetary policy transmission mechanism, e.g. bank balance sheets and credit conditions,
  • public debt, economic growth and monetary policy,
  • fiscal and monetary policy interaction during a crisis, e.g. the impact of non-standard monetary policy measures or constrained fiscal policies.

Theoretical and empirical macroeconomic or political economy papers related to the topic of the conference are welcome. Our intention is to publish the material of the conference on the ECB's website.

Submissions of complete manuscripts should be made by 14 September 2014 to fiscalconference2014@ecb.europa.eu. You may also indicate whether you would be interested in acting as a discussant. Authors of selected papers will be notified by early October. The conference is open to researchers from academia, central banks as well as national and international institutions.

Expenses: Travel expenses of presenting authors and discussants will be reimbursed. Participants from central banks and other official institutions will be expected to cover their own expenses.

Organising Committee: Jacopo Cimadomo, Maximilian Freier, Leopold von Thadden, Thomas Warmedinger
