SUERF - The European Money and Finance Forum, Banca d'Italia, the ECB (European Central Bank) and the EIB (European Investment Bank) will host a joint conference on 'The use of surveys for monetary and economic policy' to be held in Rome on April 26-27, 2023.

Central banks, policy institutions and academia are using insights from surveys increasingly to inform policy decisions. The conference will, inter alia, focus on the role of surveys on topics related to: monetary and economic policy issues; firms' investment decisions and financing constraints; unique and unexpected events (e.g. COVID-19, the energy crisis); inflation expectations and perceptions; household consumption and savings decisions; the effectiveness of central bank communication; as well as methodological questions related to survey design, biases.

Confirmed speakers include a keynote lecture by Professor Stefanie Stantcheva (Harvard University) on the use of surveys for economic policy and a high-ranking policy panel discussing policy perspectives with senior representatives from key institutions. 

The deadline for paper submission is January 27, 2023. Completed papers in PDF format should be submitted through Conference Maker. A detailed program will be released once submissions from the call for papers have been evaluated and selected.
