Introducing the first edition of the International Workshop on Knowledge Graphs for Economics and Finance @ EDBT/ICDT 2022 (EcoFinKG 2022).

Research topics include but are not limited to applications of Knowledge Graphs, in their broadest sense, to a set of financial and economic themes:

- corporate governance and corporate economics

- bank distress and oversight; trading models

- credit exposure analysis

- beneficial ownership and company control models

- regulatory compliance

- financial stability assessment

- fraud detection and anti-money laundering

- anomaly detection in financial data

- customer and investor profiling

- credit rating, creditworthiness & profiling

- explainable and ethical applications in the financial and banking domain

- risk of default propagation

- representation of and reasoning with economic networks

- KG/network-based economic models

Each of these topics accounts for both the center of a strong felt interest in real-world applications and a technical and scientific challenge, not only for social science scientists. Knowledge graphs and reasoning have enormous potential in facing these technical and scientific challenges.

## Submission guidelines

EcoFinKG Workshop will accept short papers at most 5 pages long, with additional unlimited pages for references. Short papers can include novel research works with preliminary results, vision papers outlining research issues for future work, short work-in-progress papers, describing original research that is not fully complete, yet, it deals with significant technical or theoretical challenges, and it may have a promising solution to provide and extended abstracts summarizing previously published results.

All papers should be submitted as PDF documents and be formatted according to the latest ACM Proceedings Format (two-column format) without any change in terms of fonts, margins, inter-column spacing, style, footers, etc. EcoFinKG uses single-blind reviewing, which means that the authors should list their names and affiliations as part of their submission. Submissions will be accepted only through the submission site EasyChair, starting December 1, 2021. All workshop papers will be indexed by DBLP and will be published online at CEUR.

Organizers: Georg Gottlob (University of Oxford), Eleonora Laurenza (Banca d'Italia), Luigi Bellomarini (Banca d'Italia), Emanuel Sallinger (TU Wien and University of Oxford).
