Activity	Third Annual Paul Woolley Centre Conference
Institution	London School of Economics
Venue	Lionel Robbins Building, Financial Markets Group Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE United Kingdom

Email	cmdcentre.fmg@lse.ac.uk

Submission Deadline	March 15, 2010
Additional Info	The Paul Woolley Centre was established at the London School of Economics in September 2007. Research at the centre aims at understanding the workings of capital markets and the social efficiency of allocations these markets achieve. The research departs from the Arrow-Debreu view of frictionless markets, and emphasizes the role of financial institutions (e.g. investment banks, mutual, hedge, and pension funds) in influencing prices and allocations. The main themes are: . Contracts and organizational structure: What contracts should govern the agency relationship between investors and fund managers? How do contracts influence managers' investment policies? What determines the organizational structure of the fund-management industry? . Market frictions and asset prices: How do frictions such as asymmetric information, market-entry costs, or agency, impact the informational efficiency of prices? What are the implications for market liquidity and for phenomena such as excess volatility or contagion? . Allocative efficiency and the macro-economy: Frictions can generate allocative inefficiencies, such as imperfect risksharing and misallocation of capital in the macroeconomy. How important are these inefficiencies and how can they be measured? . Policy implications: Can regulatory policies mitigate market inefficiencies? For example, can changes in contracts between investors and managers, or the introduction of new assets, generate Pareto-improvements? The Paul Woolley Centre is holding a conference each year based on these broad themes as well as related research questions. The goal is to bring together researchers working on such questions, disseminate their research, and stimulate the development of new ideas. Both empirical and theoretical papers are welcome. The programme of the centre's first and second conference can be found at http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/paulWoolleyCentre/events/ConferencesAndLectures.htm .

Activity	International Workshop on Financial Constraints, Firms and Aggregate Dynamics
Institution	OFCE - DRIC
Venue	France, Sophia-Antipolis - Côte-d’Azur Sophia Antipolis 06560 France
Date	April 23, 2010 to April 24, 2010
Email	DIME-TEMAFIC-2010@gredeg.cnrs.fr
URL	http://www.gredeg.cnrs.fr/Colloques/DIME-TEMAFIC-2010/Index.html
Submission Deadline	January 31, 2010
Additional Info	While there is a general agreement that today’s financial crisis has lead to a persistent shortage of financial resources and to a general economic slowdown, we still lack a broad and deep understanding of the different microeconomic mechanisms governing the interplay between firms behaviour and financial constraints. Indeed, a good deal of empirical and theoretical studies have shown that financial constraints play an important role in several aspects of firm behaviour, such as firm survival and growth, all the way export and location decisions. On a different albeit related ground, constraints on internal and external financing are likely to be more severe for particular groups of firms. One example is young firms, about which information asymmetries in goods and credit markets can be larger and thereby imply more difficulties in generating cash flows and obtaining external finance. Likewise, for innovative firms, technological uncertainty and lack of collateral make it likely that such firms will rely more on internal sources to finance R&D expenditures. Finally, although credit crunches originating in the financial sector are certainly biting all firms, they are likely to impact first and more acutely on those categories of firms (e.g. small firms) for which monitoring costs are higher. The workshop will be introduced by a small group of distinguished international scholars and will be aimed at gathering empirical and theoretical contributions on the interplay between financial structures and the growth of firms and their implications for industry and aggregate dynamics. Contributions on the interrelations between firms’ financial structures and the following topics are especially welcomed: - Firm entry, growth and survival - Technology adoption and innovation - Export strategy and location choice - Firms behavior and aggregate dynamics - Financial Crises and the supply of credit to firms - Transmission mechanisms from financial to real markets
