Workshop Aims

The workshops aim to bring together policymakers, academics, and industry representatives to discuss the ongoing, recurrent, and newly emerging challenges and opportunities that emerging market economies face, given an uncertain geopolitical climate in a globalized world. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Currency choices and dollar dominance in emerging economies
• Policy trade-offs
• Emerging economies and the green transition
• Global uncertainty and emerging economies
• The global financial cycle
• Geopolitical risk and emerging economies
• Financial stability and debt in emerging markets
• The financial impact of shifts in global value chains

Research focusing on emerging market economies, particularly Latin American settings, is preferred but not required.

Participation Fee & Submission Requirements

There are no submission or registration fees for the workshop. However, travel costs will not be covered for participants. We will only accept full papers that our organizing committee considers well-developed. Presenters are asked to indicate their preferences for the three workshops. Providing more than one option increases the probability of acceptance.

Special Issue

Participants are invited to submit their presented papers for a special issue of the Emerging Markets Review. Submissions will undergo a fast-track review process managed by guest editors:

• Joscha Beckmann
• Tjeerd Boonman
• Harald Sander

Accepted papers will be published in regular journal issues, clearly marked and branded as part of the Special Issue. The regular journal submission fee applies.
