About research at the BIS
Research at the BIS supports central banks in their pursuit of monetary and financial stability. Our research places emphasis on the links between the real economy and the financial system, on global rather than country-specific aspects and on longer-term drivers of activity. Research findings are made available via BIS publications and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
BIS Advisory Panel members
The BIS Advisory Panel comprises distinguished academics, each with an established reputation in their respective field. The role of the Advisory Panel is to advise the BIS on emerging research areas that merit closer attention from central banks and to provide perspective on key current policy questions.
The group meets twice a year with BIS officials. Depending on the meeting's topic, other participants from central banks and academia may also be invited on an ad hoc basis. The Economic Adviser chairs the panel and the Research Adviser acts as the secretary. No honorarium is paid to the members.

Research networks and conferences
BIS researchers collaborate extensively with researchers in academia, central banks and other policy institutions. To this end, the BIS operates a range of visiting programmes for members of academia, central bank research economists and internationally recognised experts in the fields of banking, monetary policy and financial stability researchers.
In addition, we organise conferences and events to galvanise research in emerging areas of policy interest. The BIS also serves as the hub for the BIS Research Network, which brings together researchers at central banks and in academia for regular meetings on monetary and financial stability issues. The BIS Advisory Panel of distinguished academics advises the BIS on emerging research areas that merit closer attention from central banks and provides perspective on key current policy questions.
An independent review of BIS research was conducted in 2016 by an expert panel. Details of the survey of the users of BIS research and updates of the rankings mentioned in the independent review are available.
International Journal of Central Banking (IJCB)
The International Journal of Central Banking (IJCB) is an initiative of the central banking community.
Published quarterly, the journal features articles on central bank theory and practice, with a special emphasis on research relating to monetary and financial stability. The main objectives of the International Journal of Central Banking are:
to disseminate widely the best policy-relevant and applied research that reflects the missions of central banks around the world across a range of disciplines; and
to promote communication amongst researchers both inside and outside of central banks.
