A combination of government measures has been helping to cushion the effects from COVID and COVID containment measures on firm and household finances, thus mitigating the immediate effects on firm failures and household bankruptcies. As these measures are phased out, non-performing loans may further rise. How severely will this affect bank balance sheets and profitability? What do bank stress tests tell us, where are their limits? What are the implications for banks’ business strategies including loan provisioning, and for financial regulation and supervision? This call for papers invites original research – theoretical or empirical, academic or policy-oriented – which studies the interaction of COVID, government measures aiming to mitigate firm and household bankruptcies, and the development of non-performing loans; how banks have so far dealt with them; and the role of financial regulation and supervision in smoothing out failures and the impact on banks’ balance sheets while minimizing unjustified delays in bankruptcy proceedings and undue distortions in loan valuations. Some examples for fields of research are: * Impact of government measures so far to mitigate firm and household bankruptcies * Impact on banks’ NPLs and banks’ related behaviour * Role of, and lessons for, financial regulation and supervision Download (or see pdf attached): CfP – 9th SUERF/UniCredit Foundation Research Prize<https://www.suerf.org/doc/doc_7e7757b1e12abcb736ab9a754ffb617a_12353_suerf.pdf> Formal Requirements and Procedure for Submissions: The SUERF/UniCredit Foundation Research Prize is open to authors and co-authors who are citizens or residents/students in the EEA, Switzerland, and other countries in which UniCredit is present (in addition to EEA countries, the latter also include Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Serbia) and born after 30 September 1981.

The winning authors agree to present their papers at a SUERF/UniCredit Foundation Conference to be held in Milano (or in a webinar/e-conference) in February 2022.
