Lamfalussy Research Fellowship

The Lamfalussy Fellowship programme was launched in 2003 and aims to promote high-quality research on the structure, integration and performance of the European financial system. The programme is named after the late Baron Alexandre Lamfalussy, the first President of the European Monetary Institute. Up to five fellowships are awarded annually and each fellowship is endowed with an honorarium of €10,000.

About Baron Lamfalussy

Alexandre Lamfalussy was one of the leading central bankers of his time and also one of the main supporters of a single capital market within the European Union. He was a member of the Delors Committee for the Study of European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements and the first President of the European Monetary Institute (in charge of preparing the third stage of EMU). Furthermore, he was an Executive Director of Banque Bruxelles Lambert and the Chairman of EuroMTS. He also chaired the “Committee of Wise Men on the Regulation of European Securities Markets”, whose reform proposals were adopted by the European Council in Stockholm in March 2001.

Baron Lamfalussy was born in Hungary in 1929 and studied at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium. He obtained a doctorate (DPhil) in economics from Oxford University (Nuffield College) and taught at the University of Louvain and Yale University. He was the author of numerous research articles and books on economic policy. He passed away on 9 May 2015.

About the fellowship

During their fellowship, the selected candidates are required to write a paper on a topic related to the Fellowship’s research priorities. Lamfalussy fellows are encouraged to present their papers at relevant ECB workshops and conferences and, ultimately, to have them published in leading refereed journals. Past Lamfalussy papers have been published in journals such as the American Economic Review, the Review of Economic Studies, the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics and the Review of Financial Studies.

The call for projects is published in December each year. Applicants should be no more than 36 years old by the deadline for submission. Researchers at assistant professor level and very advanced PhD students are particularly encouraged to apply.
