Dear Young Scholars,
The Financial Stability Working Group is delighted to announce a new webinar series on “Financialization in developed and emerging economies”. The objective of the webinar series is to discuss some of the effects of the financialization process on the economic activity. In particular, the webinar series will focus on the impact of the process of financialization on investment and on the characteristics that the process of financialization takes in emerging economies. What are the specificities of peripheral countries in the context of global financialization? How does financialization affects emerging economies? What kind of indicators can be employed to assess these specificities? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in the three webinars.
