Coordinator:
The MEFFI research area provides a pluralistic forum for the examination of the widespread institutional changes affecting monetary and financial behaviour across Europe. The group generally hosts a special session at each EAEPE annual conference. At the 2002 Conference in Aix the theme was that of 'Central Banks and Financial Markets'. The plan is to hold at least one special session at the 2003 Maastricht Conference. It is hoped that these special sessions at the EAEPE annual conferences will foster the development of a European-wide forum of monetary economists. No such body exists at the moment and yet many of the most interesting future developments in monetary and financial policy and institutions will emerge from the enlargement of the European Union.
Anyone who wishes to be associated with it, or may wish to participate in collaborative research in this rapidly changing field, or who may wish to offer a paper in a special session at a future EAEPE conference, should send their email address to the coordinator.
