Call for Research Papers | 2nd International Research Conference on Insolvency and Bankruptcy 2023

2nd International Research Conference on Insolvency and Bankruptcy

23rd - 25th February 2023

Organised by Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) & Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI)

Call for Research Papers 2023

It is well established that economic freedom and economic performance have a very high positive correlation. Countries having a high level of economic freedom generally outperform the countries with not-so-high levels of economic freedom. It has, therefore, been the endeavour of countries to have better business regulations that make it easier for firms to do business in the economy. It was in this vein that the landmark Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (Code / IBC) was enacted on 28th May, 2016. Starting from the implementation of the Code, setting up of new organisation and complete infrastructure to handle insolvency activities, the Indian regulatory environment for insolvency and bankruptcy of corporates, has witnessed a remarkable transition from an archaic resolution and liquidation process to a modern one attempting and facilitating faster resolution of distressed companies and assets. It is a well known fact that evidentiary or research-based foundations for policy making, devoid of discretion, fosters transparency and helps in bringing complete harmony between policy initiatives and market expectations. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, it is important to analyze the practical cases and examine the need to make changes in theory. In an evolving area of insolvency and bankruptcy, there is a need to analyse literature and market information to assist future policy making. Research plays a great part in this. Study of the practices in jurisdictions across the world would further help to understand the situation and to build best practices under the law. Academic knowledge, empirical evidence from rigorous analysis and expertise can help inform, design, improve and test policy and ultimately make government policy better. Rigorous research can bring evidence to support policy makers in addressing challenges. Thus, this conference is a forum for academic researchers, professionals, stakeholders and policy makers to discuss the impending issues on making IBC more effective institutional mechanism. This conference is inviting research papers in the area of corporate finance, distress, resolution mechanism, valuation issues and protection of multiple stakeholders.

Topics for the conference:

This conference will bring together an exciting programme with the right mix of expert guest speakers/ knowledge leaders and academics from the field(s) of corporate distress, restructuring and insolvency. The international conference will bestow us with an opportunity to understand the importance and impact of IBC in its totality through multi-disciplinary research papers. In addition, the proposed theme lecture(s) by eminent resource person(s) will set the tone of the conference and the panel discussions will enlighten us with latest insight, knowledge and thought leadership, focusing not only on financial and legal aspects but also on artificial intelligence (AI), ethics, the future of the IBC and more. Interdisciplinary research that aims to understand the financial, legal, economic, behavioural and management aspects of the IBC are encouraged. A field wise classification of potential research topics under the Indian insolvency and bankruptcy space i.e., in relation to the IBC is listed below. Several studies may be inter-disciplinary in nature and therefore cannot be isolated to fall under a single field of study and researchers are encouraged to explore the interdisciplinary nature as well. The suggested groupings of proposed studies are as under:

  • Economic / Financial, Legal,  Behavioural,  Management,  Miscellaneous

Research scholarship: A limited number of funding is available for PhD (Doctoral) scholars who are currently working on insolvency and bankruptcy topics associated with universities and institutes. Those who wish to avail the funding are requested to write to research@ibbi.gov.in. The research scholarship is worth ₹ 10,000 consolidated per research paper.
