Call for Papers

2026 Tsinghua PBCSF Winter Finance Forum

Tsinghua PBCSF | Beijing, China | December 10, 2026

Tsinghua PBCSF will host the 2026 Tsinghua PBCSF Winter Finance Forum in Beijing on December 10, 2026. This year’s forum focuses on research on the interactions among financial markets, financial intermediaries, policy, the macroeconomy, and the evolving global financial architecture.

We invite high-quality theoretical and empirical papers. Research on China and other emerging economies is particularly welcome, but a China focus is not required.

The forum will be small and highly selective, with no parallel sessions and ample time for discussion. A separate invitation-only, closed-door policy roundtable will be held on December 9, bringing together academic researchers and senior participants from China’s financial policy and regulatory community.

Topics of Interest

Topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Macro-Finance and Asset Pricing

2. Financial Intermediation and Financial Stability

3. Monetary and Fiscal Policy

4. International Macro-Finance and Geoeconomics

5. Capital Markets and the Real Economy

6. Digital Finance, AI, and the Financial System

Submission Guidelines
