We would like to invite you to submit a paper to the third edition of the European Workshop on the Macroeconomic Implications of Migration organized by Banca d’Italia, Banco de España, the PSE International Migration Economics Chair, CREI and the Global Migration Center at the University of California, Davis. The conference will take place at Banca d’Italia, in Rome, on June 19, 2026. Its goal is to promote discussion and dissemination of innovative theoretical and empirical research on the macroeconomic implications of migration.
The organizing committee invites research submissions on topics related (but not limited) to: the labor market impact of (im)migration; the effects of (im)migration on firms’ behavior, productivity, and innovation; the business-cycle behavior of migration and its relation to monetary and fiscal policies; (internal) migration and its response to different economic shocks and policies; migration and demographic change; the effect of immigration on prices and the housing market; fiscal and public finance implications of (im)migration; the interplay between migration, foreign investment, and trade; post-pandemic migration (internal and international); migration caused by conflict or physical and transition risks related to climate change.
Invited speakers: Mathilde Muñoz (University of California, Berkeley).
Submission guidelines and timetable: submissions of full papers or extended abstracts with main results are expected by March 1, 2026. Submissions should be uploaded to this folder. Please note only one paper per person can be submitted. Decisions are expected to be communicated by April 6, 2026.

Upon request at the time of submission, financial support for economy-class travel and accommodation will be provided to speakers, in accordance with Banca d’Italia reimbursement guidelines. In order to promote the desired interaction, participants are required to stay for the entire duration of the workshop.
