Activity	China Leasing Summit 2009-Vendor Program under
Institution	Duxes
Venue	Swissôtel Beijing Hong Kong Macau Center No.2 Chao Yang Men Bei Da Jie Beijing 100027 China
Date	September 3, 2009 to September 4, 2009
URL	http://www.china-lease.com
Submission Deadline	May 31, 2009
Additional Info	Last year, China’s leasing industry witnessed restructuring of some foreign leasing companies, establishment of financial leasing companies with bank background as well as the global financial crisis. As to policies and laws, although the legislation of Chinese Leasing Law aborted (not included in NPC’s five-year legislation plan), the tax reform (VAT & Turnover Tax) touted as one of the weapons to fight the financial crisis will have tremendous impact on the industry with no exception of lessors and equipment vendors. Despite the global economic slowdown, China is believed to keep growing with the release of the reviving policies for 10 critical industries including equipment manufacturing, automobile, IT, Steel, non-ferrous metals, etc. Coupled with the 4,000 billion RMB spending package for the nations’ infrastructure development and the implementation of China’s healthcare reform, the bundle of measures is expected to help recover the confidence of vendors from construction equipment, healthcare and IT industries, in their further growth in China. Against such a macro backdrop and based on last year’s successful event, we will present China Leasing Summit 2009 – Vendor Program under ‘the Crisis’. The summit will explore a broad range of topics such as continuing vendor finance amidst the economic downturn, optimizing partnership between lessors and vendors, localized risk management as well as the interpretation of the current situation.

This symposium will provide a forum to discuss the causes of recent experience and ways to improve the assessment of single-family mortgages default risk, as well as policy issues raised by the use of automated underwriting systems and mortgage scoring in the lending process. The program committee encourages the submission of papers on a number of related topics described at: http://www.ssrn.com/update/ern/ernann/ann077.html Please submit papers as “pdf” attachments to an e-mail sent to: MortgagePapers@fdic.gov Please name the file “Your last name.pdf.” For more information, contact: Contact: Paul Kupiec Email: pkupiec@fdic.gov Contact: Robert S.

Submission Deadline	April 30, 2009
Additional Info	This edited book is scheduled as volume 10 of International Financial Review, an annual book series. Elsevier Science published IFR volumes 1-8; but starting with volume 9, Emerald Group publishes the Series. The edited volume on Currency, Credit and Capital: Crisis from the Wall Street to Main Street and the World, will publish original papers that examine various issues concerning the structure and functioning of currency, credit, and capital markets and instruments, as well as their interactions with financial institutions and economies in general, in promoting or hindering financial stability on a local and global scale. Economic and financial stability is also associated with the uses and misuses of derivative instruments and innovative financial products, as well as leverage, by public and private sector agents. In addition, the current global financial crisis has manifested the importance of the interlinkages between markets and economies, as well as spillovers of financial risks and vulnerabilities. We encourage submission of manuscripts that investigate how individual currency, credit and capital instruments and institutions, and their interactions, can affect local and/or global economic and financial stability. We also invite papers that examine how regulation of these markets and institutions could prevent financial crises and the spread of contagion. All types of original papers – theoretical, empirical, or policy-oriented – will be considered. Interested authors are encouraged to contact volume co-editors as early as possible. Complete papers should be submitted, electronically in Microsoft Word, via email to both of the co-editors by April 30, 2009: J. Jay Choi , Laura H.
