Description:

The Central Bank of Ireland, University College Dublin andCEPR are pleased to announce a call for papers for the 2026 Conference on Macro-Finance and Financial Stability Policies. The conference will take place in Dublin on Monday 30 November and Tuesday 1 December 2026, 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, 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. These changes in the financial system come at a time when policymakers are increasingly focused on how deeper capital markets can sustain long-term productive investment, finance innovation, and support firm growth and dynamism. Building on previous editions in 2023, 2024 and 2025, 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, 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 financing ecosystem for firms, and its role in firm dynamics, innovation and productivity growth.
