Organized by the Bank of Albania

Bank of Albania has the pleasure to announce its 13th SEE Economic Research Workshop, hosted on 5 and 6 December 2019 in Tirana, Albania.

Thirteen years into serving as a cooperation bridge, the workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussing latest economic and finance research, to foster exchanges of views between central bankers, academic community, market practitioners’, researchers and policymakers in the region and beyond. The workshop aims to develop long-term collaborative relationships and encourage interaction among participants in their fields of interests. In line with our tradition, the workshop is open to multidisciplinary research and welcomes theoretical and empirical contributions on central bank relevant topics.

· What is driving exchange rate developments and their implications for price and financial stability;

· Macroeconomic Models for policy analysis and forecasts;

· Trade impediment, trade barriers and global capital flows,

· Incorporating household and firm behavior into monetary and financial stability analysis.
