The Research Center SAFE and the Institute for Banking and Financial History (IBF) are jointly organizing a workshop for young scholars on “Financial History – reflections on the past to tackle today’s key finance questions”, which will be held in Frankfurt am Main on 16th May 2019.

The workshop aims to bring together young scholars working on financial history topics relevant to today’s key finance questions such as financial crisis, market movements and effects of regulation, financial innovation, features and function of financial systems etc. The workshop is headed by Prof. Barry Eichengreen, holder of the Goethe University Visiting Professorship of Financial History in 2019, who will provide feedback to the selected papers. The participants of the workshop will also be invited to attend the conference organized by Prof. Barry Eichengreen on "High Public Debt: Theoretical and Historical Perspectives".
