Banque de France, Banca d'Italia and Sciences Po, in cooperation with the CEPR, are organizing their third joint research conference on trends in firm organization, firm financing and firm dynamics, to be held in Paris on the 4th of December 2020.
The conference aims to create a forum for discussion on issues related to the recent patterns of firms' activity, the organization of production and financing decision, as well as their determinants, consequences and implications for policymaking. This year's issue of the conference particularly welcomes contributions that aim at highlighting the immediate and the longer-term consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic for firms, in Europe and beyond, as well as assessing the cost and benefits of policies targeted at firms during the first wave of the pandemic in the first semester of 2020.
The conference will feature two keynote lectures by Beata Javorcik (Oxford Univ. and EBRD) and David Thesmar (MIT Sloan).
Both theoretical and empirical work in macro and microeconomics is welcome. Interested authors should submit a detailed extended abstract or, preferably, a complete paper in PDF format to: firmorgdyn2020@banque-france.fr by August 23rd, 2020.
For more information see the call for papers.
