Call for papers

In the last twenty years, several periods of turmoil (the internet bubble, the subprime crisis, sovereign debt, etc.) have shaped the financial and economic system.

In addition, monetary policy has experienced a transition from conventional to unconventional frameworks in both industrialized and emerging economies.
