Since 1 October 2022, the unit has been led by Steffen Andersen (Head of Research) in collaboration with Renato Faccini (Deputy Head of Research). Economists in the Research Unit produce high-quality research published in refereed journals and participate in the international academic and central banking debate. The Research Unit runs the Danmarks Nationalbank PhD programme and is part of the Economics and Monetary Policy department. Economists across all core departments at Danmarks Nationalbank conduct research in a wide variety of macroeconomics and finance.
The research unit
In 2016, Danmarks Nationalbank established a new, independent Research Unit, to support the policy decisions of Danmarks Nationalbank by providing a conceptual framework to assess policy-making challenges, and economic models and tools to analyse the economy.
