CALL FOR PAPERS

 

HOUSEHOLD INDEBTEDNESS, HOUSE PRICES AND THE ECONOMY

 

September 19-20, 2008

Sveriges Riksbank, Stockholm, Sweden

 

 

Sveriges Riksbank, the Swedish Central Bank, is pleased to

announce that it will host a workshop on Household

Indebtedness, House Prices and the Economy.

 

 

AIM:

 

In the last few decades, house prices have undergone major

medium-run fluctuations in many industrialized economies.

Boom-bust cycles in house prices, coupled with a

substantial increase in household indebtedness, have drawn

the attention of policymakers and academics towards the

developments in housing markets and their impact on

economic activity and financial stability. In that

context, the aim of this workshop is to discuss recent

swings in house prices and the increasing indebtedness of

households, and their impact on the economy. We are

interested both in theoretical and empirical work

addressing the following topics: (i) household finance and

the determinants of household indebtedness, (ii) credit

markets, institutional change, and household indebtedness,

(iii) household indebtedness, housing markets, and their

implications for economic activity and financial stability,

(iv) the impact of household indebtedness and housing

markets on monetary policy. To address the last topic, we

also plan for a panel session with representatives from

academia as well as policymakers.

 

 

FORMAT:

 

Papers will be presented in plenary presentations of 40

minutes, followed by 10 minutes of comments by a discussant

and an additional 10 minute plenary discussion.

Approximately 11 papers will be presented, and overall

participation at the workshop will be limited to 40 people.

Lunch and a workshop dinner will be provided. Participation

in the conference is confirmed by Nobuhiro Kiyotaki and

Jose-Victor Rios-Rull.

 

 

EXPENSES:

 

Sveriges Riksbank will reimburse economy-class travel

expenses and cover accommodation for paper presenters and

discussants.

 

 

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

 

A PDF file containing the paper should be e-mailed to the

organizing committee, at:

 

Email: MAILTO:lena.lofgren@riksbank.se

 

by April 28th, 2008. Authors will be notified by June 16th,

2008. Authors submitting papers should also indicate

whether they are willing to act as discussants.

 

 

ORGANIZATION:

 

The workshop program and other information about the

conference will be posted on the Riksbank website -

www.riksbank.com/workshop - as they become available.

The organizing committee consists of Franklin Allen, Tor

Jacobson, Daria Finocchiaro, Martin Johansson, Virginia Queijo

von Heideken and Karl Walentin. Questions can be directed to:

experimental methods, a major investment has been made in a

new, state-of-the-art experimental laboratory which opened

earlier this year. These specific developments are part of

the substantial general investment in the research base in

economics at the University of Aberdeen with a total of 6

professors and 4 junior staff appointed in recent years,
