Conference on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Economics, Finance, and Central Banking

Joint conference of the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the Banco de España, the Banque de France, the Banca d’Italia, and the European Central Bank

Monday, 17 November 2025

Banque de France, Paris

We invite pieces of research focused on cutting edge methods, measurement, and analyses related to diversity, equity and inclusion. Submissions from groups which are traditionally under-represented in economics and finance are especially encouraged. We expect papers to take the form of academic-style research. We are also open to studies from practitioners that draw on or shed light on the experience in the economics, finance, and central banking professions, or that highlight the effects of practical steps to increase diversity and inclusion in all their forms.

Areas of particular interest in the fields of economics and finance include, but are not limited to: diversity and inclusivity at central banks and how they relate to research and decision making, the existence of gender, racial, or other demographic biases that may affect households’ and firms’ financial decisions and influence the efficacy of monetary policy, the implications of monetary policy for income, wealth and consumption inequality, as well as the heterogeneous impacts of inflation and other macroeconomic shocks for different demographic groups.
