Cambridge-INET Institute is an interdisciplinary research institute based at the University of Cambridge focused on macroeconomic theory, financial stability, and policy-relevant economic research. It convenes scholars across colleges and faculties to engage with issues related to crises, market dynamics, and policy responses while interacting with international organizations and central banks. The institute integrates theoretical work with empirical analysis, fostering exchange between academic bodies and policy institutions.
The institute was established in 2011 through a grant from the Institute for New Economic Thinking and the University of Cambridge, building connections with King's College, Cambridge, Trinity College, Cambridge, St John's College, Cambridge, Clare College, Cambridge, and Pembroke College, Cambridge. Early activities involved collaborations with the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve System, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development to address the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the European sovereign-debt crisis, and debates following the Global Financial Crisis. Founding events featured speakers from Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences laureates, University of Chicago, London School of Economics, Princeton University, and Yale University. Over its first decade, the institute co-hosted symposia with Centre for Economic Policy Research, National Bureau of Economic Research, Royal Economic Society, and European Economic Association.
The institute's stated mission emphasizes rigorous theoretical advances linked to real-world policy questions, coordinating work on macroeconomic stability, financial networks, and innovation in modeling informed by institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Bank for International Settlements, European Central Bank, and Bank of England. Objectives include fostering talent through fellowships associated with Cambridge Judge Business School, integrating postgraduate researchers from Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge, and strengthening ties to policy communities including the UK Treasury, G20, and Financial Stability Board. It aims to influence debates around topics addressed in venues like the Brookings Institution, Peterson Institute for International Economics, Council on Foreign Relations, and Royal Society events.
Research programs span macroeconomic theory, financial frictions, heterogeneous-agent models, and network analysis with projects linking to studies from NBER Working Group on Macroeconomics, CEPR Discussion Papers, and collaborations with labs at MIT, Harvard University, Stanford University, Columbia University, and UC Berkeley. Programs investigate transmission mechanisms studied in New Keynesian economics, DSGE frameworks, and alternative approaches promoted in debates involving Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz, Thomas Piketty, Olivier Blanchard, and Christopher Sims. The institute supports computational projects using techniques developed in work from Eugene Fama, Kenneth Arrow, Robert Lucas Jr., Finn Kydland, and Edward Prescott while hosting seminars connected to research by Daron Acemoglu, Philippe Aghion, Hélène Rey, Gita Gopinath, and Carmen Reinhart.
Cambridge-INET partners with colleges, departments, and external institutes including Cambridge Judge Business School, Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge, Centre for Business Research, University of Cambridge, Institute of Public Policy Research, and international centers such as NBER, CEPR, Institute for New Economic Thinking, Bocconi University, Sciences Po, European University Institute, University of Oxford, and Imperial College London. It runs joint workshops with policy organizations such as the Bank of England, European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund, and research networks behind conferences like the Allied Social Science Associations meetings and the Royal Economic Society annual conference.
Initial endowment came from the Institute for New Economic Thinking and matched support from the University of Cambridge with additional grants from philanthropic foundations and research councils including Economic and Social Research Council and private benefactors associated with global networks of donors. Governance involves oversight from university committees linked to Cambridge University Press, college fellows from King's College, Cambridge and Trinity College, Cambridge, and advisory input from former officials of the Bank of England, European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund, and senior academics from Harvard University, Princeton University, London School of Economics, and Yale University.
Affiliated scholars include faculty and visitors who have held posts at leading institutions such as Harvard University, MIT, Stanford University, Princeton University, London School of Economics, Oxford University, Yale University, and policy roles at the Bank of England, International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank, and Federal Reserve Board. Notable names linked through seminars, fellowships, or visiting positions include researchers connected to Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences winners, prominent theorists like Gordon Tullock, Kenneth Rogoff, Raghuram Rajan, Andrei Shleifer, Mark Gertler, Rene Garcia, and practitioners from HM Treasury, Financial Conduct Authority, and World Bank leadership.
Outputs include working papers, edited volumes, and policy briefs circulated via networks such as NBER, CEPR, Cambridge University Press, and presentations at forums including the Allied Social Science Associations meetings, Royal Economic Society events, and workshops at Bank of England and European Central Bank. Research findings have influenced debates on topics linked to the Global Financial Crisis, European sovereign-debt crisis, central-bank policy frameworks discussed by Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Mario Draghi, Janet Yellen, and regulatory reforms advanced in dialogues involving the Financial Stability Board and Bank for International Settlements.
