Arcelli Center for Monetary and Financial Studies (CASMEF)

CASMEF, Arcelli Center for Monetary and Financial Studies, aims to: promote and support high quality research on economic, monetary, financial and banking issues; encourage debate on current economic and financial issues by organizing conferences and seminars, publishing articles and disseminating reports and press releases; offer high-profile scientific advice both nationally and internationally, providing theoretical and / or quantitative support for the strategic choices of public or private decision makers.

CASMEF's main research areas are: banks, insurance companies and other financial intermediaries; fiscal and monetary policy; regulated sectors; SMEs; infrastructure and sustainability.

The strength and essential prerequisite for the activities of CASMEF is the continuity of relations with the commissioners of applied research, which allows to acquire in-depth knowledge in the field and to guarantee young researchers a sufficiently long-time horizon to complete research projects. Thanks to the strong reputation acquired nationally and internationally among public and private entities of primary importance through the performance of scientific consultancy activities, CASMEF supports its basic research activities and promotes the growth of young researchers by financing grants and scholarships. At the same time, the results of basic scientific research increase the added value of CASMEF's scientific advice, which has become a reference point for many public and private decision makers in various economic and financial fields.
