Consistent with the approach adopted throughout the Eurosystem, the purpose of research activities at De Nederlandsche Bank is to: i) provide research results relevant for the formulation of policy advice on monetary and supervisory policies; ii) maintain and use econometric models in order to construct economic forecasts and projections and compare the impact of alternative policy choices; and iii) communicate with the academic and research community, for example, through the publication of research results in peer-reviewed scientific journals and by participating in and organising of research conferences and workshops.
