Research at the BIS

At a glance


Selected journal publications by BIS economists, 2014-17


The research by BIS economists encompasses BIS publications (BIS Papers, Working Papers and Other publications) and papers in refereed journals.

The BIS also publishes the Annual Report, the Quarterly Review and committee publications. Discontinued paper series and Group of Ten publications are available as well. You can also find works published by a specific author.

BIS economists work under the guidance of the Economic Adviser and Head of MED to develop the research agenda and produce research papers. They are on occasion joined by secondees or visitors from BIS member central banks. BIS economists work closely with renowned academics, some of whom are invited for discussions or short stays in Basel or the BIS representative offices in Hong Kong and Mexico City. Researchers also organise special meetings and conferences, as well as participate actively in such events at other international organisations, national central banks and universities.

An independent review of BIS research was conducted in 2016 by an expert panel.
