About the Institute
The Rosenberg Institute, established in 2002, is IBS's principal research platform in the field of international finance. The Institute seeks to analyze and anticipate major trends in global financial markets, institutions and regulations, and to develop the information and ideas required to solve emerging problems. To this end, the Institute promotes informal exchanges among scholars and practitioners, research, and policy analyses, and also participates in the School's teaching programs.
The Institute is named in honor of Dr. Barbara Rosenberg, a prominent educator and alumna of Brandeis University, and Mr. Richard M. Rosenberg, the former Chairman and CEO of Bank of America. See their biographies.
Objectives
The Institute addresses a key issue in international finance each year by commissioning research studies from faculty members at Brandeis and other institutions, by scheduling talks by visiting experts, by offering new courses, and by organizing a major annual conference. The Institute is committed to connecting IBS's and other academic research with the insights of business and policy leaders, and to use research to inform major global business and policy decisions.
U.S. Monetary Policy Forum
The U.S. Monetary Policy Forum (USMPF) is an annual conference that brings academics, market economists and policy makers together to discuss U.S. Monetary policy. It is co-sponsored by the Rosenberg Institute of Global Finance along with the Initiative on Global Markets at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. A standing group of academic and private sector economists (the USMPF panelists) has rotating responsibility for producing a report on a critical medium-term issue confronting the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).
This year's conference will be held on February 29 in New York City and is by invitation only. Participants will include presidents of various Federal Reserve Banks as well as Vincent Reinhart of the American Enterprise Institute who will speak at lunch. This year's report focuses on lessons from the subprime crises for central banking. More information on this year's conference is available here.
Last year's conference was held on March 9th in Washington, D.C. and featured a report on "Understanding the Evolving Inflation Process". The report is now available.
International Advisory Board and Faculty Steering Committee
The Institute's work will be guided by an International Advisory Board composed of prominent individuals from business, government and academe, with expertise in the Institute's primary fields of interest, and a Faculty Steering Committee composed of Brandeis University Faculty. See a list of the members of the Board and Steering Committee.
