International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) calls for papers for the Housing Sector, Growth and Financial Stability conference, co-sponsored by the IMF and IIMB.
Interested authors should submit a manuscript in PDF format to chetan.s@iimb.ernet.in; charansingh@iimb.ernet.in; arebucci@jhu.edu and PLOUNGANI@imf.org no later than August 30, 2014. The authors of selected draft manuscripts would be intimated by mid-September 2014. Authors should also provide a copy of their curriculum vitae. Early submissions and expressions of interest are welcome.
The global downturn in the aftermath of the housing bubble bursting in United States has reignited strong interest in housing and housing finance. An effective regulatory framework is necessary to support a thriving yet safe system of housing finance. And a private-sector lead housing finance system is a key pillar to address unmet housing needs of many developing countries. From a macroeconomic perspective, the policy toolkit to avert housing booms and busts is still under construction. Identifying the appropriate role of monetary policy in this new era is crucial and is also related to broader issues of financial stability. The conference, to be held on December 11-13, 2014 aims to provide a forum for discussing these issues among researchers and policymakers.
The focus of the conference is on Emerging Market Economies though papers on advanced and low income countries with policy implications for the EMEs would also be welcome. There will also be papers/presentations on housing market in India. Prof. Frank Warnock and Veronica Warnock, University of Virginia; Prof. Peter T Chinloy, American University, Washington DC; and Simon Walley, Coordinator, Housing Finance Program, World Bank have confirmed their participation
Possible topics include, but are not necessarily limited to, national and international, cross-country research on:
- The macroeconomics of housing demand and supply (House price dynamics and interaction of housing wealth with consumer spending).
- Housing and long-run economic growth.
- Tools to check market overvaluation and asset price movements in property market.
- The macroeconomic implications of housing policy and mortgage finance reforms.
- Housing markets, financial stability and macro-prudential policy.
