Journal of Economics and Business

The Journal of Economics and Business invites papers that deal with topics related to the euro crisis, particularly in relation to international capital markets and international banking. The on-going euro crisis threatens major disruption to European economies and the world economy. On the one hand, the severity of the crisis is due in part to the involvement of international banks in fi nancing the euro countries prior to and during the crisis; this involvement relates closely to the massive international fl ows of capital during the decade of the 2000s. On the other hand, the crisis threatens to damage both international banking and capital fl ows beyond the seventeen countries directly involved. Further, the political economy of cures for the crisis is complex and controversial.

The Special Issue welcomes papers that look at various aspects of the euro crisis, international capital fl ows and banking. Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to:

• The effects of the euro crisis in particular countries• The role of bailouts already given to euro countries in helping or hurting solutions to the crisis• The effects of capital mobility on facilitating the crisis• The effects of international banking on facilitating the crisis • Regulatory behavior as a source of the crisis • Optimal regulatory behavior in light of the crisis• Solutions to the crisis, including the likelihood of adoption and time consistency of solutions • Effects of possible outcomes on international banking and capital markets
