This month, Darden’s James C. Wheat Jr. Professor of Business Administration Frank E. Warnock and Senior Lecturer and Batten Institute Fellow Veronica Cacdac Warnock will share their research at two major conferences focused on finance in Asia.
The Warnocks will present work jointly conducted with John Burger of Loyola University and Rajeswari Sengupta of IGIDR at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) 26th Annual East Asian Seminar on Economics, June 18-19, at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Their discussion will draw insights from the NBER working paper “U.S. Investment in Global Bonds: As the Fed Pushes, Some EMEs Pull”, which is forthcoming in the CEPR journal Economic Policy.
A few days later, the Warnocks will travel to Seoul, South Korea for the 2015 Korea Development Institute (KDI) and Society for the Study of Emerging Markets (SSEM) Global Financial Stability Conference. Professor Warnock will sit on a panel, moderated by Hakan Tokak (Director General of the Ministry of Finance in Turkey) on the topic of Financial Spillovers and Capital Flow Management Measures.
“The two conferences are important in different ways,“ said Frank. “The NBER East Asia conference is an opportunity for US-based researchers affiliated with NBER to interact with researchers from eight institutions in East Asia on a topic—this year its Financial Stability—of common interest. The Korea conference is an opportunity for experts from international organizations (such as the IMF and Asian Development Bank) and academia to present alongside G20 policy makers on topics the policy makers are currently confronting.”
Faculty engagement and research is one of the primarily pillars of Darden’s Asia Initiative, which provides a leading forum to shape thinking and education regarding Asia and its relationship with the rest of the world.
