Partnerships

In 2007, the Banque de France and the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) set up a partnership which has since been regularly renewed. The aim is to foster excellence in French economic research and place both institutions at the forefront of international economic debate and expertise. The partnership also supports the TSE doctoral programme by allowing PhD students to carry out scientific internships at the Banque de France, under the joint responsibility of their TSE PhD supervisor and a Banque de France researcher. The two institutions also organise regular seminars in Paris, workshops bringing together their respective researchers, and academic conferences on topics of shared interest.

The Banque de France - PSE International Macroeconomics Chair fosters interaction between the two institutions with the aim of promoting research on international macroeconomics and the global monetary and financial system to inform economic policy decision-making. This interaction takes different forms, ranging from high-level conferences to cooperation on research. Its renewal is in line with PSE's deeper commitment to cooperating with the Banque de France in various activities: co-organisation of high-level conferences and lectures; scientific cooperation; exchange of researchers; funding of research at the PSE.

Since 2012, the Banque de France has maintained a close partnership with Sciences Po's Department of Economics. Through several rounds of financial support, the Bank has contributed to the rapid expansion and development of the department.
In return, the partnership has strengthened academic exchange and collaboration, enhancing the visibility and quality of the Banque de France’s own research activities. More recently, the two institutions have organized numerous joint international conferences and research seminars. Senior economists from Sciences Po also regularly visit the Banque de France to present and discuss their work with its research staff.

The Banque de France and FERDI  have collaborated for many years on issues related to development financing, economic and financial integration in Africa—particularly in French-speaking countries—and the role of financial markets in supporting development. Their joint work also addresses reforms to the international financial architecture and the action of multilateral institutions in developing economies.
The partnership promotes joint publications and research collaborations, notably through the award of research grants. It also organizes biannual seminars and biennial international conferences.

The ACPR Regulation and Systemic Risk Chair promotes research on systemic risk management, strengthens collaboration between academia and the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution, and serves as an international platform for policy proposals.
Bringing together the Toulouse School of Economics, HEC Paris, and the Fondation du Risque, the Chair focuses on macroprudential issues analyzed through a microprudential approach. Its goal is to advance quantitative research that improves the measurement and management of systemic risk and supports financial stability.

Active since 2015, the Banque de France/EHESS Fondation France-Japon (FFJ) Fellowship studies Japan’s macroeconomic developments since the 1980s and the policies of the Bank of Japan and the Japanese government. A joint research “Lab” promotes collaboration between Japanese and French scholars. The program brings together an international team and organizes workshops, conferences, and calls for papers, with participants expected to produce at least one academic publication during the project.
