With the opening up of the financial sector in India, new challenges have emerged for financial market participants, regulators as well as investors. In this dynamic environment of complex financial products, increased market competition, and progressive de-regulation, there is a need for all players in the financial sector to develop internal mechanisms for risk management, macroeconomic forecasting, corporate governance and related issues. Quantitative methods such as time series analysis and forecasting, VaR, structural modeling, and simulation have become the sine qua non for virtually every organization that seeks to function in the financially liberalized environment of today. This proposed conference would address this emerging domain by bringing together on a common platform academic experts, as well as senior executives in the financial sector to deliberate on a wide spectrum of issues. The focus will be to discuss the use of quantitative techniques to better understand financial markets, banking and insurance activity.
The Conference invites contributions from researchers, academicians, professionals and policymakers in theoretical and empirical aspects of monetary and financial economics, banking and insurance. All submissions shall be peer reviewed. Selected papers would be invited for presentation. The Conference venue is IBS campus, Hyderabad. The last date for submission of abstracts and full papers respectively are 20th January, and 20th February, 2010.
