Lamfalussy Research Fellowship for Gökhan Ider and Hedda Thorell

We are proud to share that our PhD student Gökhan Ider (Freie Universität Berlin) and Hedda Thorell from Stockholm University were awarded the Lamfalussy Research Fellowship 2026 by the European Central Bank. They are among five fellows and will work on their paper "News-driven fluctuations and monetary policy transmission" during their fellowship.

The Lamfalussy Fellowship program was launched in 2003 and aims to promote high-quality research on the structure, integration and performance of the European financial system. The program is named after the late Baron Alexandre Lamfalussy, the first President of the European Monetary Institute. Up to five fellowships are awarded annually and each fellowship is endowed with an honorarium of €10,000.
