Financial innovation is important for financial system efficiency and productivity. Financial innovations contribute to productivity, business growth, and economic growth. Fiscal and monetary policies or a coordinate set of such policies have implications for progress on financial innovations. Financial innovations include weather derivatives, climate financing, hedge funds, Islamic bonds, green bonds, amongst others. How these innovations succeed or fail depends on supporting policies.
It is within this spirit of learning the role of policies (both fiscal and monetary) that this special issue (SI) is themed “The Role of Monetary and Fiscal Policies in Financial Innovations—A Global Stock take”. Selected papers that meet the highest standards of publications will be invited to a workshop/conference on July 8, 2023. Papers that meet publication standards post-presentation will be invited for formal submission to Financial Innovation, where papers will undergo the journal’s usual reviewing process.
The SI therefore invites papers that cover the above theme and sub-themes. Research ideas and/or proposals can be sent to the Guest Editor, Professor Paresh Narayan (Monash University) by email: paresh.narayan2014@gmail.com.
