It was an actual pleasure to get to attend the convention (agenda right here). Extremely informative and stimulating — typically I believe I do know so much a couple of topic, however conferences like this disabuse me of that notion.
I add hyperlinks to ungated variations of the papers offered immediately, beneath:

I’d seen one paper offered earlier than (“…International Retrenchment”), however every part else was a revelation. Jansen’s paper documented how bond holdings — each American and Euro space — responded to greenback appreciation. “Dealer risk…” offered a mannequin of fx provide, demand and intermediaries, with endogenously decided threat limits. Backside line is that desk limits amplify depreciations in response to demand shocks. Stijn Claessens’ keynote offered a tour d’horizon of the greenback as a world foreign money, eager about how sure dimensions within the Kenen typology of cash could be regarded as market mediated (retailer of worth and medium of change) whereas others usually are not (unit of account). Top quality discussions of th e papers throughout (significantly useful for these of us who as an example don’t know the literature in microeconomic fashions of seller markets).
I can’t do an exhaustive evaluate, however one can get an thought from the papers. A recap of the assembly two years in the past, right here.
Apart: an amazing facet good thing about being at a convention in-person is that you just get to speak to the discussants and different members about what they’re engaged on. A lot tougher to do through zoom. Some ideas in tomorrow’s publish.
