Creating an easily accessible archive of relevant tools and data which may be useful for research purposes.

Providing a forum for researchers in which they can share and compare their modelling tools, at regular meetings and special events.

This is particularly so given the clear pitfalls exhibited by existing economic models in the past and in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Against the background of rising real and financial globalisation, a top priority for central bankers is to improve our understanding of cross-border linkages and spillovers.
