The Corporate finance, financial intermediation and macro-finance meeting at the 15th IBEO Workshop is an event designed for researchers working on broad finance and macro-finance topics. Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome.
In corporate finance, we welcome contributions that investigate firm decisions on investment and financing, firms’ interactions with various stakeholders, corporate governance and institutional activism, design of organizational structures, compensation and incentive mechanisms, corporate social responsibility, and implementation of ESG mandates.
In financial intermediation, we encourage contributions on the role of banking and non-banking financial institutions, the micro transmission mechanisms of financial shocks and policies, the financing of small- and medium-sized enterprises, and the interaction between fintech and traditional financial intermediation.
In macro-finance, we welcome contributions on the quantitative role of the credit channel and financial intermediation frictions for macroeconomic outcomes, the interaction between monetary and macroprudential policy, and the redistributive effects of financial policies and shocks. Particularly welcome are contributions emphasizing the microeconomic foundations via dynamic structural modeling, while being grounded in the data.

Economic History
July 9- 2026
Organizers
Paolo Di Martino – Università di Torino
Giulia Mancini – Università di Sassari
Alessandro Nuvolari – Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa
The meeting is supported by ASE (Associazione per la Storia Economica).

The relationship between economic history and economics has gone through phases of closeness and separation. The aim of this meeting, which is part of a wider network of events, is to present and discuss state-of-the-art works in economic history that are able to highlight the complementarities between the two disciplines, and contribute to the cross-fertilisation of the two fields. In the spirit of showcasing the span of topics and methods in economic history, the organisers welcome proposals on any historical period and geographical area, and espousing any approach, from “traditional” economic history, to cliometrics and historical economics.
The meeting is supported by ASE (Associazione per la Storia Economica).
