European System of Central Banks Research Cluster 3 – Call for papers

The European Central Bank and the Deutsche Bundesbank are organising the tenth annual workshop of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) Research Cluster 3.

This year the keynote speakers are Vasso Ioannidou, Bayes Business School, and José‑Luis Peydró, Luiss and EIEF.

We would like to invite submissions from all active ESCB researchers, including colleagues working in policy areas (e.g., banking supervision, financial stability and risk management). Authors are encouraged to submit theoretical or empirical papers mainly focusing on financial stability (FS), macroprudential regulation (MR) and microprudential supervision (MS).

Interested authors should submit full papers in PDF format to: Escb-research.cluster3@ecb.europa.eu

Authors of accepted papers will be notified by mid-August 2026.

To help the review process, please indicate the cluster subject area (FS, MR or MS) most relevant to your paper and whether your contribution is primarily theoretical or empirical.

Papers will be selected based on academic quality, policy relevance and fit within the workshop sessions. We particularly welcome work featuring collaboration across ESCB institutions and submissions from junior researchers.
