Research

The objective of economic research at the Riksbank is to provide a strong theoretical and empirical basis for policy-making. An important task of economic research is to provide models, tools and analyses for the fulfillment of the Riksbank's objectives.

During a few days in May 2016, an external committee of four (Rodney Ramcharan, Frank Smets, Jonathan Wright, Greg Udell) visited the Riksbank to evaluate the research division on the basis of its research and policy contributions. A similar evaluation of the research division was conducted in 2008, by Marvin Goodfriend, Lucrezia Reichlin and Greg Udell. Read more about the External Review of the Riksbank Research Division 2016.
