Risks - resilience - policy responses”.<https://www.suerf.org/events/is-europe-prepared-for-extreme-events-risks-resilience-policy-responses/registration/> Motivation Europe faces a growing array of extreme risks that could significantly impact its economic stability, social cohesion, and geopolitical standing. From climate-related disasters to geopolitical conflicts, and from financial crises to technological risks and disruptions—events that were previously rare (the “Rare Disaster Events” as in Barro, 2006) now could become more frequent and possibly more intense. This event will bring together leading experts from academia, industry, government, and the financial sector to appraise, address, and communicate about extreme risk events and their possible consequences. The workshop aims also at discussing Europe's readiness to face these risks and the policy architecture needed to enhance its resilience, drawing on European and international experiences. The objective is to learn, collaborate, and act together, specifically to: 1. Define and identify extreme risks for Europe. 2. Explore methods for quantifying and measuring these risks. 3. Assess the effectiveness of current policy frameworks and develop policy recommendations to enhance Europe's resilience and response capabilities. Topics of particular interest for submissions include, but are not limited to: * Identify and measure the risk of “extreme events” and “black swans” with a specific focus on triggers and non-linearities. * Financial innovation, AI and cybercrime as sources of extreme events. * Interaction between extreme events and existing vulnerabilities, including crisis dynamics and the nature of optimal responses. * Advances in stress testing and scenario building for extreme risks events. * Empirical analysis of the macro and financial stability impact of extreme events: methods, data and applications (including AI and big data analytics). * Lessons from recent events (covid, military conflicts, geopolitical fragmentation) and their implications for financial stability. * Strengths and weaknesses of the EU’s/EA’s current resilience enhancement strategy, crisis prevention and management tools and institutions – legal and institutional avenues for improvement. * Innovative financing mechanisms for crisis preparedness and response, such as obligatory insurance regulation, insurance backstops, disaster bonds etc. Call for Papers (pdf<https://www.suerf.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Call-for-Papers_ESM-SUERF-Bruegel-workshop-Is-Europe-Prepared-for-Extreme-Events.pdf>) Paper submission and important dates We invite the submission of theoretical, empirical and analytical policy-oriented draft or completed papers.
