In the context of the ECB’s research network on modelling international linkages and spillovers (IntLink), the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, together with the European Central Bank, is organising a conference on "Modelling International Linkages and Spillovers" that will take place on 3 and 4 October 2013 in İzmir, Turkey.
Topics
The organisation committee, which comprises Prof. Fabio Canova (European University Institute), Mustafa Kilinc (Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey), Filippo di Mauro (ECB), Paolo Pesenti (Federal Reserve Bank of New York) and Livio Stracca (ECB) would welcome contributions on, in particular, the following topics:
- modelling international linkages from a theoretical perspective; key channels of transmission (real and financial);
- modelling and empirical identification of spillovers and transmissions (real, financial and policy) between advanced and developing countries;
- challenges associated with the estimation of open economy DSGE models;
- time series models applied to the analysis of cross-border transmission, such as PVAR and GVAR models;
- gravity models;
- network analysis applied to cross-border linkages and spillovers;
- intra-euro area spillovers;
- modelling contagion and the transmission of extreme events; and
- policy implications stemming from increased interdependence.
