Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) plans to host an IMF-IIMB conference on the housing sector, economic growth and financial stability.
The conference, to be held from 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 (EME), 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,” an IIMB release said.
Topics for the conference include, but are not necessarily limited to, national and international, cross-country research, as well as the macroeconomics of housing demand and supply.
The conference will also discuss macroeconomic implications of housing policy and mortgage finance reforms, housing markets, financial stability and macro-prudential policy.
IIMB has invited papers from interested authors to 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. The selected authors will be intimated by mid-September.
