Monetary and Financial History: Lessons for the 21st Century

2024 marks the 150th anniversary of the first issuance of the Swedish krona. In order to commemorate this event, Sveriges Riksbank is organizing a conference on “Monetary and Financial History: Lessons for the 21st Century”. The conference will be held in person in Stockholm, Sweden, on November 21–22, 2024.

Christina Romer (University of California Berkeley) and Charles Calomiris (Columbia Business School) will deliver keynote speeches.

We welcome theoretical as well as empirical papers that use historical data to address questions relevant for current policy issues, and we will consider both completed papers and preliminary drafts. Each presented paper will have one discussant.

Submissions should be made by sending the paper in PDF format to conference@riksbank.se. The submission deadline is May 15, 2024. Questions about the conference can be directed to conference@riksbank.se.
