The De Nederlandsche Bank and the Central Bank of Ireland are pleased to announce the 10th Annual Workshop of the ESCB Research Cluster 2, to be held at the De Nederlandsche Bank in Amsterdam, on 08-09 October 2026.

Research Cluster 2 focuses on issues related to international macroeconomics, fiscal policy, labour economics, competitiveness, and EMU governance.

Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome. The workshop is open to European System of Central Banks (ESCB) and Bank of England (BoE) researchers only.

Keynote speakers will be Luca Fornaro (CREI) and Natalie Chen (University of Warwick).
