Call for paper information

Central banks around the world have taken a wide range of non-standard monetary policy measures, including large-scale purchases of public and private sector financial assets, providing explicit forward guidance about future interest rates and cutting interest rates into negative territory. The aim of this workshop is to bring together central bankers, academics and market participants to discuss the effectiveness, transmission, potential side effects and future role of the various measures implemented in recent years. Viral Acharya (Reserve Bank of India) and Gauti Eggertsson (Brown University) have kindly agreed to deliver key note lectures.

Topics

We welcome theoretical and empirical contributions on topics including:

  • The transmission of non-standard monetary policy measures and their effects on market functioning, financial markets and the real economy
  • The interaction of non-standard monetary policy measures with standard monetary policy, fiscal policy, macro- and microprudential regulation
  • The potential side effects associated with non-standard monetary policy measures, especially for financial stability
  • The distributional consequences of non-standard monetary policy measures
  • The implementation and communication challenges associated with the unwinding of non-standard monetary policy measures and/or exiting a zero or negative interest rate environment
  • The lessons learned from the experience with non-standard monetary policy measures for monetary policy implementation in “normal” times, and possible ways forward.

Submissions

Authors are encouraged to submit papers on the above-mentioned topics. Submissions must comprise a full paper and should be sent in PDF format to NSMWorkshop@ecb.europa.eu by 15 May 2017. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by 2 June 2017. The final version of conference papers must be sent to the same e-mail address by 11 August 2017.

Expenses

Travel and accommodation expenses of the presenters of accepted papers and discussants will be covered by the ECB (participants from within the ESCB or from EU institutions will be expected to cover their own expenses).
