Call for Papers
This is the time of financial geographers’ life: A financial crisis, followed by an economic crisis, followed by a European sovereign debt crisis, the Eurosystem fully under stress, and the Brexit potentially shaking out the European system of financial centers. At the same time new currencies emerge, new technologies broaden access to finance, and pose a threat to incumbent financial players. More areas of life than ever are driven by financial considerations. Financial Geography is key!
The German Financial Geography Lab – Forschungswerkstatt Finanzgeographie – has a strong tradition: workshops took place in Vienna 2006, Osnabrück 2007, Heidelberg 2011, Eichstätt 2013, Münster 2014, Bonn 2015 and now, finance is coming home, in Frankfurt. This year’s workshop will be held completely in English in order to allow international participants to fully attend the lab.
