New Lessons from the Archives: The Evolving History of Central Banking

Financial History Conference

Although the actions of central banks are often cloaked in silence, the lessons drawn from the management of bank failures and financial crises often give the impression that the smoke-filled room was bathed in sunlight. While policy makers internal deliberations have appeared, with few exceptions, as quick sketches, there are substantial underused archives of documents and data that can be accessed to provide a more complete and sometimes even dramatically different picture of the conduct of central banking from the late 19th century to the present. This conference brings together experts in this evolving field to present their findings.

The conference will take place
on 29 June 2023, 10:45 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
at the House of Finance, Campus Westend, Goethe-University, Frankfurt.

Please note that a registration is required. The attendance is free of charge.
