The Research and Statistics Group’s Program for Resident Scholars attracts to the Bank outstanding researchers with an international reputation.

Resident scholars, selected from the top academic and policy institutions in areas related to the Bank’s broad policy interests, join the Bank for a stay of at least six months. They are considered members of the Research Group, and are offered access to resources on the same basis as other key Bank staff.

The scholars pursue their own research while providing intellectual leadership by advising and collaborating with our economists on an ongoing basis. They present their own work at Research Group seminars and attend presentations by others. Resident scholars also work closely with the directors of research and have the opportunity to contribute to the Bank’s main policymaking discussions on such topics as monetary policy and macroeconomics, international economics, banking supervision and regulation, capital markets, financial stability, and applied microeconomics with an emphasis on regional and national issues.
