2022 ECMI Call for papers

DEADLINE:18 SEPTEMBER 2022

In partnership with CEPS, ECMI is calling for a submission of research papers in the area of capital markets, competitiveness, attractiveness and open strategic autonomy. A committee of academics and international experts will select the best paper and award the author(s) a €5,000 prize and the opportunity to present the findings at the 2022 ECMI Annual Conference that will take place on 9 November 2022. This prestigious international event brings together policymakers, academics and industry representatives to take stock of recent developments in European capital markets and analyse their long-term implications.

Research papers should cover, but are not limited to, one or more of the following areas:

• Measuring the competitiveness of EU financial actors and the attractiveness of European capital markets (key performance indicators, KPIs)
• Open strategic autonomy in financial services
• The Capital Markets Union as a driver of economic recovery and resilience (e.g. SME financing, green recovery and retail investor participation)
• Digital currencies, digital payments and digital services for retail investors: regulation, investor protection and financial stability
• The resilience and resolution of market infrastructures (e.g. trade repositories, central counterparties)
• The impact of monetary policies on capital markets
• Corporate and sovereign bonds markets (issuance, pricing, trading and efficiency)
• MiFID II (e.g. transparency, liquidity, research coverage, data)
• EU-UK capital markets and the costs of fragmentation
