ANNUAL EVENT OF FINANCE RESEARCH LETTERS 2022 CEMLA CONFERENCE:

NEW ADVANCES IN INTERNATIONAL FINANCE

The Center for Latin American Monetary Studies (CEMLA) co-hosted the Annual Event of Finance Research Letters 2022 CEMLA Conference: New Advances in International Finance which took place on April 21-22, 2022. The conference focused on new developments in international finance, with emphasis on topics such as macro-finance, corporate governance, financial markets, banking, and market interdependence.  A total of 100 research papers prepared by 233 authors were presented in 28 parallel sessions, of which 6 were delivered as face-to-face sessions at CEMLA facilities alongside the Keynote Lecture during the first day of the event.

Professor Brian Lucey from Trinity College in Dublin presented Rethinking financial contagion: information transmission mechanism during the COVID-19 Pandemic as the Keynote Lecture. Acknowledging the growing literature assessing the financial effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic and identifying the urgent need to summarize existing knowledge on the contagion phenomenon, his Keynote Lecture i) provided a review of conceptual approaches to studying financial contagion according to the levels of information transmission—namely, catalysts of contagion, media attention, spillover effects and macroeconomic fundamentals—; ii) discussed the unique characteristics of the COVID-19 crisis; iii) argued whether the COVID-19 shock can be considered a “black swan” event; iv) reviewed the concepts, definitions, and methodologies that are frequently and inconsistently used in the contagion literature to uncover research ambiguities; and finally, v) discussed future agendas to guide coherent and methodologically rigorous research on the impact of COVID-19 on financial markets during the Pandemic and its aftermath.

The Finance Research Letters awarded two prizes, one for the best paper of the conference and one for the best doctoral paper. The impact of climate transition risks on financial stability. A systemic risk approach by Javier Ojea Ferreiro (Joint Research Center of the European Commission), Juan C. Reboredo (Universidade de Santiago Compostela), and Andrea Ugolini (University of Milan-Biccoca) was awarded the Best Conference Paper Award. While Firm financial conditions and the transmission of U.S. monetary policy by Daniel Ostry (University of Cambridge), Thiago Ferreira (Federal Reserve Board), and John Rogers (Fudan University) was awarded the Best Doctoral Paper Award.
