Call for Papers on Macroeconomic Stabilization in the Digital Age

Macroeconomic Stabilization in the Digital Age

Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) and Sim Kee Boon Institute (SKBI),
Singapore Management University (SMU)

Over the past decade, the global financial crisis and the rise of the digital economy have created new
challenges for the management of the economy. During this period, emerging economies have had to deal
with large and volatile capital flows. While such capital flows can have substantial benefits for economies in
terms of growth and development, they can also pose substantial risks if not properly managed. Achieving
macroeconomic stability can be fraught with difficulty when capital inflows lead to greater volatility of
domestic consumption, currency and maturity mismatches, as well as boom/bust cycles in asset prices. New
approaches to capital flow management and improving resilience to capital flow shocks are thus more
important than ever.

In conjunction with these developments, the onset and growth of fintech has implications for cross - border
capital flows. Innovations related to payments systems, maturity transformation, and the allocation of capital
can create challenges for macroeconomic stabilization to the extent that they disrupt the efficacy of policy
tools used to manage the economy.

ADBI and Sim Kim Kee Boon Institute at the Singapore Management University are seeking original research
paper submissions in any field related to macroeconomic stabilization in the digital age. Topics of particular
interest include:

• Resilience of emerging markets to capital flow shocks

• New approaches to the management of capital flows
• Local currency bond market development
• Monetary and financial stability in the digital age
• The role of fintech on monetary policy transmission
• New approaches to fiscal and monetary policy coordination
Other relevant topics are also welcome.

Selected papers will be featured at a conference hosted at the Sim Kee Boon Institute at the Singapore
Management University in Singapore on 16- 17 October 2019.

Papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication as ADBI working papers and as part of
an ADBI book.
