In the last twenty years, political considerations have become important in financial economics. From political connections in firms to the effects of political uncertainty on investments and from the design of the rules that make financial markets viable to the politically-motivated changes in bankruptcy law, politics is playing a greater role in finance research. Yet this is the only conference dedicated to this topic. For this reason, the Stigler Center at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business is launching the third conference on the Political Economy of Finance. The conference will be by invitation only.
The Stigler Center at the University Chicago Booth School of Business is seeking papers on topics related to the interaction between politics and business, cronyism, regulatory capture, various forms of subversion of competition by special interest groups, and related to be presented at the Political Economy of Finance Conference in October 2019
