Final CFP - Housing & the Global Financial Crisis AAG 2012: New York, NY
February 24-28, 2012 Organizers: Phil Ashton, University of Illinois at Chicago Kathe Newman, Rutgers University We are looking for one paper to round a session on housing and the global financial crisis as part of the series of "special sessions" on international finance promoted by the AAG as part of the 2012 Annual Meeting. While these sessions offer an opportunity to investigate the local connections of housing finance to Wall Street, we also invite papers that place housing/mortgage markets and the global financial crisis into broader perspective. Topics could include, among others: regulation and governance of housing finance; international comparisons on residential capitalism in light of the crisis; the co-imbricration of housing and fiscal/sovereign debt crises; or forward-looking assessments of new institutional structures for housing finance emerging from the crisis. Please contact Phil Ashton (pash...@uic.edu) with expressions of interest and/or abstracts.
