The International Finance Program was created to promote research on international
financial markets at George Washington University. Its affiliated scholars
study financial integration, financial crises and contagion, international
capital flows, and market microstructure.
The IFP maintains a calendar of events throughout the
academic year, in particular the weekly Macro-International
seminar, which promotes discussion on the state-of-the-art
research, and the International Finance Forum, which invites
economists from policy institutions to discuss current
policy-relevant issues in international finance. It also
publishes the IFP Working Paper Series to disseminate the
research of its affiliated scholars. The IFP welcomes
visiting scholars from universities, central banks, and
other international financial institutions.
