Central Bankers Courses

We have planned an attractive program of courses for central bank staff with 175 selected participants from 78 central banks all over the world. We will offer three courses for mid-level managers on Monetary Policy & Exchange Rates, Banking Regulation, and Financial Markets. We will also offer three courses for analysts and researchers on Empirical Finance, Monetary Economics, and Macroeconomic Forecasting.

The 2024/2025 edition of our Swiss Program for Beginning Doctoral Students is well underway with 30 students from 9 universities. We eagerly anticipate the return of all students as well as our outstanding lecturers. Prof Fernando Alvarez (University of Chicago) will be the first lecturer to visit Gerzensee in the new year!

We are delighted  to announce our 2025 Program of Advanced Courses in Economics with courses on Causal Inference, Development Economics, Economic Growth, Bayesian Financial Econometrics; Mechanism Design, Monetary & Fiscal Policy with Heterogenous Agents, and Household Finance. PhD students, faculty members and research economists are welcome to apply!

Gerzensee Forum

This spring we will host a Conference on Financial Intermediation jointly organized with BIS, CEPR and SFI. The preliminary program is available here.

In October we will host our biannual Conference on Macroeconomics, co-organized with the Journal of Economic Dynamics & Control, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and the Swiss National Bank. Don’t miss our call for papers, which will be out soon.

We especially look forward to welcoming researchers attending symposia and workshops we host for our partner research networks: CEPR and the Swiss Finance Institute.
