Safety, Liquidity, and the Macroeconomy

The BSE Summer Forum Workshop on Safety, Liquidity, and the Macroeconomy focuses on the role that safe and liquid assets play in the functioning of financial markets, and on how financial safety and liquidity interact with macroeconomic outcomes.

We encourage both empirical and theoretical contributions on the following topics as well as related issues:

• Determinants of safety and liquidity of assets in financial markets
• The links between liquidity, safe assets, and the macroeconomy
• The role of safe assets and liquidity in financial market distress
• Pricing of safe assets and liquidity in financial markets
• Financial flows across countries and macro-financial outcomes
• The links between information in financial markets, asset prices, and the macroeconomy
