We invite submissions of papers for the Macro, Money and International Finance Conference, which will take place on May 18–19, 2026.
The conference focuses on macrofinance, monetary economics, FinTech, and international economics, with a particular emphasis on continuous‑time structural models, quantifi ation, and new numerical and empirical methods—including deep learning and neural network approaches. Submitted papers should either develop innovative methodological tools or provide policy‑relevant insights into the real economy, financial resilience, inflation, and (digital) money.
The conference will take place in person at Villa Mondragone (20 km southeast of Rome, Italy), which was Pope Gregory XIII’s summer residence, where he promulgated the Gregorian calendar. A dedicated poster session will be organized for PhD students working in the area of macrofinance.
Participants will receive free accommodation and catering. In special cases, additional support for travel expenses may also be provided.
Please submit your paper to the following link: MacrofinanceRome2026
(Please use as file name: your last name, followed by _X if to be considered for poster session.)
The submission deadline is March 15, 2026. This conference follows the spirit of the series held in Munich as part of the CESifo network.
Conference organizers: Andrey Alexandrov, Markus Brunnermeier, Sebastian Merkel and Goutham Gopalakrishna
