              GLOBAL DIMENSIONS OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS

                   Federal Reserve Bank of New York
     
     
     The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will host a conference 
     on June 3 and 4, 2010, on the Global Dimensions of the 
     Financial Crisis. The conference organizers are soliciting 
     submissions that address themes that include, but are not 
     limited to, the following:
     
      
     THE ROLE OF GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKETS:
      
     The crisis has revealed an extraordinary degree of 
     interdependence among major economies. What role did 
     financial markets play in the international transmission of 
     shocks during the crisis? How did financial deleveraging 
     propagate and magnify shocks across countries? 
      
      
     DYNAMICS OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE, CAPITAL FLOWS, AND RECOVERY:
      
     What accounts for the unprecedented decline in world trade 
     during the crisis? Can it be explained by inventory 
     dynamics, trade finance constraints, or other causes? 
     What determines the different recovery paths across 
     countries? 
      
     What new insights have emerged on the issue of current 
     account sustainability? 
      
     What have been the consequences of shifting risk appetites 
     for international capital flows? How have they differed 
     across developed and developing economies? 
      
      
     POLICY INTERVENTIONS ACROSS COUNTRIES:
      
     What have been the comparative effects, at home and abroad, 
     of monetary policy; fiscal policy; and extraordinary market 
     interventions (short-sale bans, bank liability guarantees, 
     recapitalization programs, asset protection programs, asset 
     purchase programs, and foreign exchange swaps programs)?
      
     What accounts for the very different policy responses 
     observed across countries? 
      
     How has cross-country regulatory arbitrage by firms 
     constrained policymakers over the course of the crisis? 
     
     
     EXCHANGE RATE POLICIES, INTERNATIONAL CURRENCIES, AND 
     FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES:
      
     What are the implications of the crisis for the 
     international role of the dollar and other currencies going 
     forward? Has the debate over Bretton Woods II been altered 
     by the crisis and the responses of countries? 
      
     What have we learned about the use of foreign exchange 
     reserves in a crisis? When should a country use its 
     reserves? Do reserves play an important role even when they 
     are not used? 
      
     Did lender-of-last-resort programs respond effectively to 
     the crisis? What are the implications of the crisis for 
     international liquidity programs?
      
      
     AUDIENCE:
      
     The conference is open to academics, policymakers, and 
     other researchers in the field of economics. It is closed 
     to the media.   
      
      
     PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
      
     The deadline for submissions of completed or draft 
     manuscripts is Friday, October 30, 2009. Papers should be 
     sent electronically to the Conference Mailbox:

     December 1, 2009.   
     
     
     SPECIAL ISSUE:
     
     The JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS (JIE) will publish a 
     special conference volume. Submission is optional and 
     authors submitting papers to the conference should indicate 
     whether or not they wish their paper to be considered for
