Fellows will be invited to the BIS’s Monetary and Economic Department (MED) for short periods, ranging from a few days to several weeks.

Candidates will conduct economic research on policy-related issues of relevance to the BIS and the programme aims to promoted policy-relevant research that meets the highest academic standards; allow prominent scholars to gain an insight into the policy making environment of the BIS; and foster joint research between academics and BIS economists.

MED contributes to these tasks by conducting research on monetary and financial stability, monetary economics, macroeconomics and finance, financial markets, central bank governance and other institutional issues.
