Available surveys cover a broad range of economic actors and sectors: households, firms, financial institutions, and economic and financial forecasters. Central banks, policy institutions and academia are using insights from such surveys increasingly to inform policy decisions. That said, existing surveys also have many limitations, and their interpretations are often subject to caveats; moreover, survey methods and research are currently developing very rapidly, given a changing economic environment, with new pressing policy and research questions emerging at a rapid pace. SUERF-Banca d’Italia-ECB-EIB Conference • 26-27 April 2023 in Rome, Italy The conference will be held in person at the Banca d’ Italia, in Rome, Italy, with the option to participate online, on April 26-27, 2023. The event is scheduled for 1 ½ days starting from 26 April afternoon. Confirmed speakers include a keynote lecture by Professor Stefanie Stantcheva (Harvard University) on the use of surveys for economic policy and a high-ranking policy panel discussing policy perspectives with senior representatives from key institutions. Research papers in the sessions will be commented by expert discussants followed by Q&A. A detailed program will be released once submissions from the call for papers have been evaluated and selected. ________________________________ Call for Papers This call for papers invites original research – theoretical or empirical, academic or policy-oriented – on “The use of surveys for monetary and economic policy”<https://www.suerf.org/econsurveys>. Submissions should preferably take the form of full draft papers written in English. Papers may relate to surveys among households, firms, financial institutions including banks, and other relevant parties, such as market analysists, forecasters etc. Papers may, inter alia, focus on the role of surveys on topics related to: - monetary and economic policy issues; firms’ investment decisions and financing constraints; - unique and unexpected events (e.g. COVID-19, the energy crisis); - inflation expectations and perceptions; household consumption and savings decisions; - the effectiveness of central bank communication; as well as methodological questions related to survey design, biases, etc. The deadline for paper submission is January 27, 2023.
