Event Insights : Gain more knowledge on 2nd meeting of the Annual Conference on Municipal Bond Markets - for publication and research. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Center for Municipal Finance at the University of Chicago will be co-hosting the 2nd meeting of the Annual Conference on Municipal Bond Markets on September 29-30, 2026. We invite submissions of unpublished and highly policy-relevant research papers on municipal bond markets. A particular preference will be given to papers that study primary market frictions that lead to higher financing costs/shortage of capital for state and local governments, secondary market frictions that increase transactions costs for investors, the role of retail investors or government policies that target these investors for bond price formation, as well as the effect of state and federal policies on state and local government access to external finance. All submissions, both empirical and theoretical, in these areas are welcome.
