CEBRA’s Research Programs foster interaction among researchers at central banks, academic institutions, and other organizations on specific areas of research that are both academically relevant and of high policy interest.
CEBRA’s Research Programs fill a gap in the existing environment of research organizations by gathering both established and young researchers in policy relevant areas of research and providing a forum for interaction, development of ideas, and their dissemination. To fulfill this goal, each Program hosts an annual conference hosted by a central bank within the CEBRA network. By including both academics and researchers at central banks and other policy institutions and promoting their interaction, the Program seeks to pursue both excellence in cutting-edge research and its application to the most important policy-relevant questions.
