Program for Resident Scholars

The Research and Statistics Group's Program for Resident Scholars brings to the Bank, for at least six months, outstanding researchers with an international reputation.

About the Program

Resident scholars are selected from the top academic and policy institutions in areas related to the Bank's broad policy interests. The scholars pursue their own research agendas while providing intellectual leadership by advising and collaborating with our staff of more than fifty economists. They present their own work as well as attend Research Group seminars.

The resident scholars also work closely with the director of research, and have the opportunity to contribute to the Bank's main policymaking discussions on topics such 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. The scholars are considered members of the Research Group, and are offered access to resources on the same basis as other key Bank staff.

The program complements our Visiting Scholars Program, in which economists from major research institutions are invited to present their own work and make themselves available to discuss our staff's current research.
