The Center for Monetary Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is sponsoring its second annual conference on macro-finance research. The conference will be held in San Francisco on Friday, October 10, 2025. The purpose of the conference is to discuss the latest macro-finance research, broadly defined as work on the links between financial markets, monetary policy, and the macroeconomy. Both empirical and theoretical submissions are encouraged. A keynote presentation will be given by Philipp Schnabl (NYU Stern). See the program of last year’s conference.

Those interested in presenting their research at this conference should send a PDF of their paper to Macro.Finance.Conference@sf.frb.org by May 31, 2025.

At this conference the new SF Fed Award for Monetary Research will be conferred to an early-stage scholar who has made significant and policy-relevant research contributions to macro-finance and/or monetary economics. The goal of this annual award is to recognize and support outstanding early-career researchers who will shape the future of macro-finance and monetary research and its applications in central banking.
