Central Bank of Ireland, University College Dublin and CEPR are pleased to announce a call for papers for the 2025 conference in macro-financial research and policy. The conference will take place in Dublin on 1-2 December 2025, and will offer a venue for researchers in the field to present and discuss their research.
Macroprudential policymaking continues to adapt to an increasingly complex and uncertain economic and financial landscape. The sharp and uneven shifts in interest rates in recent years, coupled with increasing geopolitical and trade tensions, and the growing severity of climate shocks, pose new threats to financial stability. At the same time, the rapid expansion of non-bank financial intermediaries over the past decades has added complexity to the macroprudential policymaking environment and broadened the discussion to policy options beyond the banking sector.
Building on the success of the 2023 and 2024 events, the organising committee invites submissions from researchers working on topics that can contribute to the evolution of the macroprudential and financial stability policy agenda. Empirical and theoretical studies in the following sub-areas are particularly welcome:
- The implications for financial stability of geopolitical risk and fragmentation, trade tensions, climate change, rapid digital innovation, high levels of government debt, and armed conflict.
- The role of non-bank financial intermediaries in financial markets and implications for macroprudential regulation.
- The calibration of macroprudential policies for lenders or borrowers and their interaction with monetary policy.
- The financial sector impact of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), tokenised deposits, and stablecoins.
The programme will feature a keynote speech by José-Luis Peydró (LUISS, EIEF and CEPR).
