Research at DNB

Research at DNB is aimed at supporting the bank’s policy activities through the provision of high quality and policy relevant academic research on topics relevant to the DNB’s core competencies. In addition, researchers at DNB are also responsible for the construction of economic models and for preparing economic forecasts. DNB has a research department with around 15 full-time researchers, and in addition to this, staff from other departments also devote part of their time to academic research.

DNB organises both an internal an external research seminar series. In the autumn we hold our annual research conference, and we organise various smaller scale research events throughout the year. Each year we receive a number of external researchers to the bank under the auspices of our visiting scholar programme. Our staff present their work at international academic conferences and publish in peer reviewed journals.
