Research Engagement
We organise – and participate in – research seminars, conferences and workshops. These bring together Central Bank staff and external researchers, and help us further improve the quality of our work.
Seminars
Central Bank of Ireland organises a regular series of research seminars, where international, domestic and internal researchers present their work. These seminars are usually held once a week on Thursdays, either in-person or online.
Recent Seminars
- Andrew Hannon (University of Cambridge)
Housing, Rental Markets, Mortgage Policies and the Wealth Distribution
- Ralph Luetticke (Tuebingen University)
Foreign portfolios and domestic business cycle with heterogeneous agents
- Òscar Jordà (Federal Reserve Bank San Francisco and University of California San Diego)

External Expert Projects
We directly engage with leading external experts so that they can contribute to research projects of interest to Central Bank of Ireland. This allows us to make stronger policy contributions and enhance the quality of our work through skills transfer and development.
Who are these projects aimed at?
Our external expert projects are aimed at leading experts/academics in strategic areas who are interested in, and aligned with, our agenda and can fill the gaps of our in-house technical expertise. They can advise us on technical matters and help us to guide policy-relevant research and analysis.
- Aedin Doris (Maynooth University)
The gender wealth gap in the Euro Area
- Michael McMahon (Oxford University)
Monetary policy communications
- Gert Peersman (Ghent University)
Inflation expectations
Visiting Researchers
We host visiting researchers for periods of between one week and one year. These researchers work on policy-relevant topics, and they can either collaborate with our people or work independently. Interested parties can soon apply to become a visiting researcher at the Central Bank.
