Call for papers - 28th DNB Annual Research Conference
The end of stability? Rethinking monetary and fiscal policy interactions in a turbulent world The interaction between monetary and fiscal policy is becoming increasingly complex as structural transformations, ranging from technological change to geopolitical fragmentation, reshape the global macroeconomic landscape. These shifts are driving large-scale public investment and spending, altering inflation dynamics, real interest rates, and the transmission of monetary policy. Meanwhile, the legacy of central bank asset purchases adds further complexity to debt markets and financial stability. This annual research conference aims to bring together top scholars from around the world to discuss these issues. We invite theoretical and empirical contributions that deepen our understanding of how fiscal and monetary tools jointly influence macroeconomic outcomes in this evolving environment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Fiscal and monetary policy coordination and institutional frameworks • The role of trade wars and supply chain realignments in the transmission of monetary and fiscal policy • Fiscal policy and inflation • Public debt sustainability, central bank balance sheets and fiscal-monetary policy interactions Keynote speakers Jing Cynthia Wu (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Francesco Bianchi (Johns Hopkins University) Policy panel Olivier Blanchard (Peterson Institute for International Economics) Ida Wolden Bache (Norges Bank) Silvia Ardagna (Barclays) Including contributions from Sarah Zubairy (Texas A&M University) and Benjamin Born (Frankfurt School of Finance & Management) Paper submission and important dates We invite the submission of high-quality theoretical and empirical contributions. Manuscripts should be submitted to DNB_ResearchConference@dnb.nl by August 29, 2025. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by September 8, 2025.

Data Science and Business Analytics (graduate programme, 2 years, in English)
This programme is designed for students whose main area of interest is quantitative analysis in economics, finance, business, or the social sciences. Candidates should have a solid background in quantitative (and related) methods, e.g., statistics, probability calculus, and mathematics. The aim of the Data Science and Business Analytics programme is to train data analysts with broad programming skills, who understand business and economic processes and can easily communicate with business clients. Therefore, the curriculum includes four pillars: quantitative methods, IT programming, knowledge of economics and finance, soft skills. An important subject is the 'Understanding Business' course, which provides a platform for business communication, designed to create joint projects in business-university partnerships and identify the business needs of data scientists. The Data Science and Business Analytics programme is based on R and Python, but also includes other statistical languages and software such as SQL, 4GL, and SAS. The aim of the programme is to equip students with the knowledge and skills to perform complex and insightful data analysis, which will help them make bold business decisions.

Quantitative Finance (graduate programme, 2 years)
The study programme is designed to prepare students for professional careers in Polish and international financial institutions, where they will be able to: implement complex derivative pricing models (Derivatives Markets, Equity and Fixed Income, Theory and Practice of Option Pricing, C++ in Quantitative Finance, Computational Finance), manage various risks in financial institutions (Risk Analysis and Modelling, Corporate Finance), exercise competence in asset portfolio management, considering the ongoing changes in the financial environment (Asset Allocation and Investment Strategies and Financial Statement Analysis), apply knowledge of recent developments in financial research (empirical aspects of financial markets). The knowledge and skills presented will be supplemented with subjects in economics (Advanced Microeconomics and Advanced Macroeconomics), courses in mathematics and econometrics (Mathematical Methods in Finance, Time Series Analysis, Quantitative Strategies, High Frequency Data), and classes presenting the architecture of the world of finance (Theory of Finance), which help students understand the complex world of financial models and find a niche in it for themselves. The programme assumes that students will be equipped with theoretical knowledge and practical skills that will enable them to make independent decisions based on real-time financial data, using the tools and techniques that are developing dynamically in modern finance. The Quantitative Finance programme is designed to prepare students for jobs in the finance industry and beyond, including financial engineering and risk management, macroeconomic and financial forecasting, quantitative asset management, quantitative trading, and applied research. Students gain mathematical skills in areas such as: probability and statistics, portfolio theory, equity and interest rate derivatives, including exotic options, linear algebra and differential equations, differential, integral, and stochastic calculus. We teach our students how to: use mathematical models to support more accurate asset pricing, stock selection, asset allocation, investment portfolio analysis, or securities trading, quantify statistical parameters such as volatility and return correlations, to derive new ways to assess risk and design effective hedging strategies, design algorithms to replace the traditional process of subjective trading decisions, validate models, conduct research, and develop new strategies, provide investors with valuation and trading tools, use value options, convertible instruments, and other derivatives, control and manage risks, model the behaviour of financial markets. In addition, the study programme and its level of difficulty assume that students will be prepared to conduct independent research and continue their education with doctoral studies at Polish and/or foreign universities. The detailed study programme has been designed to facilitate effective preparation for examinations, enabling students to obtain a licence such as CFA, Securities Broker, or Investment Advisor. This is a great added value for the graduate, thanks to which future graduates gain a significant advantage over "competitors" on the job market, at the outset.

Accordingly, submissions are accepted through two tracks: the academic track and the fintech/practitioner track. Individual conference sessions, however, will deliberately contain presentations from both academics and fintechs. This means that academic- and fintech-specific jargon should be minimized, and presentations will need to be intelligible and engaging to both sides. Submissions through the academic track need to be in the form of a research paper (early stage work is welcome), a case study, or an extended abstract. NB: Submissions through the academic track are now closed. Submissions through the fintech/practitioner track can be in the form of a research paper, a case study, an extended abstract, a white paper, or even a slide deck; they should raise an interesting new issue or shed new light on an existing issue. We especially welcome submissions based on proprietary data that could potentially be made available to academic researchers (e.g. after data anonymization and the signing of NDA). NB: Submissions through the fintech/practitioner track are currently open. In addition to submissions in the form of presentations as outlined above, we are accepting proposals for panel discussions from fintech founders. These can take the form of a single page mentioning what the fintech does and topics to be discussed during the panel. If the proposal is accepted, 3f organizers will find other panelists in collaboration with the proposing fintech founder. Regardless of the track, each submission should also include a note for reviewers on the contribution’s novelty, actionable insights for both academics and practitioners, and relevance to the future of finance. We realize that both academic and fintech submissions can contain potentially sensitive information. Submissions to 3f will not be circulated outside of the 3f program committee. Accepted papers will only be posted on the conference website with authors’ permission. We hope that the conference will result in many exciting academic-fintech collaborations that will both advance scientific knowledge and result in practical innovations. We therefore welcome academics and practitioners who are respectful towards and curious about “the other side”, and who are open to such collaborations. Join us at 3f to spark new ideas, forge unexpected collaborations, and help shape the future of finance! Registration Deadline Price 30 June €500 31 July €550 After 31 July €750 Future Finance Fest aims to unlock massive value through participant interactions.
