Conference to be held at EIEF, Via Sallustiana 62, 00187 Rome, ITALY
The Centre for Studies in Economics and Finance (CSEF), the Einaudi Institute for Economics and Finance (EIEF), and the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Economics (SITE) invite paper submissions on the relationships between finance and labor. While we are open to all topics, preference will be given to submissions that deal with the interaction of financial and labor markets for a broad range of employees, as opposed to focusing on the more heavily-studied topic of executive compensation. Possible issues include:
- role of employees in the governance and financing of companies
- response of wages and employment to financial shocks with firm restructuring
- risk sharing arrangements between firms and workers
- financial development, job reallocation, and employment growth
- effects of regulation of financial markets on industrial relations
- human capital, portfolio choice, and asset pricing
The conference aims to bring together researchers from financial economics and labor economics in order to discuss the topic from the point of view of both disciplines. Submissions are open to members of the scientific committee. Each paper will be assigned to a discussant. Participants are expected to stay for the entire duration of the conference.
To apply for this session: Please email your paper to Susana Palomar (susana.palomar@eief.it) by April 15, 2015. Each paper should contain an abstract, the affiliation(s) and contact information of the author(s). Authors of accepted papers will be notified no later than May 10, 2015. Travel (economy fare) and accommodation for the nights of August 27, 28, 29 and (if necessary) August 30 will be paid for speakers and discussants.
