8th Bundesbank spring conference
Eltville, 05 - 06 May 2006
New developments in economic forecasting
Forecasting is an important task for central banks and other institutions involved in economic policy, economic advice or just business. However, forecasting the future is fraught with many problems. Over the past few years new and promising approaches have been developed in this field. The eighth spring conference of the Bundesbank brings prominent researchers together to present new ideas and methods which may help us to make progress when making economic forecasts.

general information about the conference.
2. Kleistvilla workshop: "Structural changes in the financial system and the consequences"
26 June 2006 in Potsdam
As in other European countries, the financial system in Germany has been changing rapidly for several years. Further changes resulting, not least, from greater international integration, can be expected in the future. This development may have far-reaching consequences for the functioning of monetary policy and the macroeconomy in general. The consequences for stability are also often discussed.
For this reason, Holger Wolf, the Bundesbank professor at the Free University of Berlin in 2006, has, together with the university’s Department of Business and Economics and the Bundesbank’s Research Centre, organised the second Kleistvilla workshop in Potsdam on “Structural changes in the financial system and the consequences”.
Participation is by invitation only.

4th Workshop Research on MiDi

Conference on Relation between Monetary Policy and Financial Markets - Bundesbank and ZEW Mannheim
23 - 24 November 2006 in Mannheim
Monetary policy actions have their most direct and immediate effects on the broader financial markets, including the stock market, government and corporate bond markets, and foreign exchange markets. The changes in financial asset prices and returns induced by the actions of monetary policymakers should result in those changes in economic behaviour which the policy was attempting to achieve. These effects are not independent of the implementation and interpretation of monetary policy by the players in financial markets. On the other hand, central banks can use information from financial markets, particularly expectations derived from asset prices, to learn about the perception of monetary policy by the private sector. Against this background the Deutsche Bundesbank and the Centre for European Economic Research will organize a joint conference.
