Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on advancing research in international finance, emphasizing theoretical and empirical perspectives on key global financial challenges. The field of international finance continues to evolve rapidly, addressing pressing issues like global financial stability, cross-border capital flows, exchange rates, international trade finance, and the growing influence of emerging markets in the global financial system. The issue seeks to provide a platform for high-quality research with significant implications for both policy and practice in a globalized economy.
We encourage submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Global Financial Stability: exploring the effects of financial crises, including the roles of central banks and monetary policy in stabilizing international markets.
- Sovereign Debt Markets: examining the risks associated with government bonds in advanced and emerging economies, including currency, liquidity, interest rate, and default risks.
- Emerging Markets and Global Finance: highlighting the unique challenges faced by emerging markets, including their roles within the global financial architecture and bond yield determination in high-risk environments.
- Cross-Border Investments and Financial Integration: investigating factors that shape cross-border capital flows, investor demand for bonds, and the effects of bond index inclusions on prices and liquidity.
- Quantitative Easing and Monetary Policy: analyzing the impact of central bank balance sheets on sovereign bond markets, with comparisons between quantitative easing (QE) during the 2008–09 Great Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic response.
- Innovative Financial Topics: exploring the role of cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in shaping international finance.
By prioritizing these topics, the issue aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of sovereign risk, bond yield determination, the effects of international monetary policies, and the evolving landscape of international finance, particularly in the context of emerging market economies.
