Second phase of RELTIF has started

The CEPR/ Assonime Programme on Restarting European Long-Term Investment Finance (RELTIF) is entering its second phase.  In January of this year the programme produced its first report (a Green Paper) on European corporate finance.

This identified a number of areas of research it was intended should be pursued in the second phase.  Following a meeting of academic researchers in Oxford in March, a call for proposals for research projects relevant to the research programme was put out and in response a large number of proposals were received.

From this the following were selected for inclusion in the second phase research, which will run from August 2015 until July 2016.

In addition, a core research project examining the response of European bank lending and corporate financing to the financial and sovereign loan crises is being undertaken.  Results from all the research projects will be presented at workshops in January and July 2016.  Papers from the project will subsequently be published in academic journals and a final report (White Paper) will synthesise the main conclusions of the research programme.
