Americas Office research networks
BIS Consultative Council for the Americas (CCA) research networks are collaborative associations of BIS economists, central bank members and academic advisers who jointly research themes of interest to regional central banks. These networks are instrumental in promoting an open dialogue on key monetary and financial issues in the Americas.
Research network topics
Research network projects are extensive, tackling one primary topic at a time and typically taking between one and two years to complete.
Currently, members are collaborating in the CCA research network on macrofinancial implications of climate change and environmental degradation, chaired by Elías Albagli (Central Bank of Chile).
