focused on Gender Disparities and Financial Markets Analysis

organized by Research-Team granted by National Science Centre
NCN Project No  2011/01/B/HS4/06346

   The Colloquium is organized in frame and with financial support of National Science Centre project No 2011/01/B/HS4/06346, by the Research Team from Department of Econometrics and Statistics, Faculty of Applied Informatics and Mathematics, Warearsaw University of Life Sciences, Poland ( http://www.wzim.sggw.pl/). The Colloquium will take place in Warsaw (Poland) May 23-24, 2013.

   The aim of the Colloquium is to discuss current economic and social problems concerning gender disparities and financial markets. Both issues seem to be the most important problems in terms of current economic situation in globalized world.

    Gender equality is a policy objective of basically universal acceptance and it becomes a subject of interest in many national governments, international organizations, research institutes and political pressure groups. The Strategy for equality between women and men (2010-2015) was adopted by European Commission on 21 September 2010. Also The United Nations Millennium Declaration promulgates the pursuit of gender equality as one of the eight Millennium Development Goals to be reached by 2015. Problems of women’s participation in labor market became one of the main issues in current discussion because of the financial – economic crisis and ageing of the societies in developed countries.

   The current economic and financial crisis, also known as the global financial crisis, is considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression in 1930s. The danger of this crisis, that has been lasting since 2007 and there is no reliable prediction when it ends, is accelerated by globalization of the world economy. The general situation at financial markets has been additionally complicated by introduction of new financial products and another mode of operations. Global financial market seem to be playing different function in economy and it has been working due to new regulations. Introduction of new trade platforms, on-line access to information, integration and globalization of the market may cause revision of finance theories.

   The conference is organized on an international scale with distinguished members of the Program Committee from worldwide academic communities. All submitted papers will be carefully reviewed by at least two Members of the Program Committee. The conference language is English. Papers should be prepared according to the rules given on the conference web site. Accepted papers will be published after conference. For further information please watch the informations below.

   Many thanks for passing on the information about the conference to your colleagues who may be interested in this event.
