 Call for Papers

Announcing the Fifth Conference of the

*South-Eastern European Monetary History Network (SEEMHN**)*



hosted by the *Central Bank of Turkey*

in Istanbul, Turkey

on 16 April, 2010



Following the success of the previous four annual conferences of the
South-Eastern European Monetary History Network (SEEMHN) held in Sofia (BNB)
in 2006, Vienna (OeNB) in 2007, Athens (BoG) in 2008 and Belgrade (NBS) in
2009, it is the great pleasure of the *Central Bank of Turkey* to host the
Fifth Annual Conference in April 2010. This reflects the Central Bank of
Turkey's support to SEEMH Network, whose main objective is to extend the
knowledge of the economic history of the Balkans as an integral part of the
Pan-European experience with a specific focus on financial, monetary and
banking history.



The Fifth *SEEMHN* Conference will take place on Friday, *16 April 20**10,
in **Istanbul*. The topic of the conference will be "*Monetary Policy during
Economic Crises: a Comparative and Historical Perspective"*. South-Eastern
Europe has a rich history in crises. During the 19th and the 20th centuries
all countries in the region were prone to different varieties of economic
and financial crises and monetary authorities strove to sustain monetary and
financial stability.  The Conference will put at central stage the history
of economic and financial crises in emerging market economies and will
discuss individual and coordinated monetary policy responses to resolve
them. An emphasis should be placed on the evolution of financial market
regulation and the post-crises regulatory responses. A comparison of the
crisis experience of advanced countries with that of the emerging market
economies may serve as a useful analytical framework to draw important
lessons for resolving the current crisis (since 2007) and preventing future
crisis episodes.

Interested researchers should submit their papers or extended proposals to
Yuksel Gormez (yuksel.gormez at tcmb.gov.tr) no later than 29 January 2010.
Authors of the accepted papers will be notified no later than 26 February
2010. The conference version of the paper is expected by 26 March 2010 and
the presentation version is expected by 2 April 2010. The papers should meet
the usual scientific standards and address the main theme of the conference
in a broad interpretation. Selected papers will be published in the
Conference Proceedings Volume, co-edited by Professor Sevket Pamuk. All
participants are expected to cover their own expenses. Participation in the
conference is not conditional upon presenting a paper.
