For me, this was a chance to catch up on a lot of open economy macro work that I’ve missed (focused as I have been on US macro policy debacles developments over the past year and half).  I was a discussant for the UIP paper, on which I’ll do a separate post.
The hyperlinks to the papers allow you to read the abstracts for more details. I’ll just make a few remarks.
The first paper, presented by Anton Korineck, described how LLMs can condense IMF fiscal advice as represented in Article IV reports, and how the content has evolved over time.  For those of us will little familiarity about how LLMs summarize text, this was extremely
informative.
The second paper, presented by Toni Iko, showed how exchange rate pass through into Nigerian CPI depended more on the parallel rate than the official. Anusha Chari discussed “Capital flows in risky times”, which demonstrates that passive fund behavior induces a feedback mechanism that amplifies exogenous shocks; at the same time, she and her coauthors develop a “risk-on/risk-off” index, which is now available on FRED. This is an impressive data compilation,using EPFR mutual fund data.
Gernot Muller’s coauthored paper (Dollar Trinity) delivers a model based on dollar dominance in safe assets, corss border asset trade, and trade invoicing, which explains the existence of a global business cycle, asset price cycle, and trade cycle. The discussion highlighted the fact that the dollar invoicing componnent was not central to the existence of the global business and asset price cycles, but did rationalize the trade cycle.
The last paper of the first day (Fool’s Gold), presented by Kai Arvai, modeled the rise of central bank gold demand as a function of greater geopolitical risk, and documented empirically the rise of such holdings. (For a slightly different perspective, see Chinn, Frankel and ito (2026), or this post).
The second day’s starting paper, “Loanly governments” documented a little known (to me!) fact that loans constitute a noticeable and persistent share of total borrowing by OECD governments. Using credit rating changes as shocks, Lucas Hack showed that loans increased as a share of total borrowing in the wake of such shocks.
Eric Monnet’s paper documented the creation of a new (Fed discount rate) measure over the period in which the (offshore) eurodollar market grew (before the breakdown of the Bretton Woods regime). Using this new measure, he and his coauthors showed that such shocks induced changes in foreign policy rates in the wake of convertability, but had on measurable impact on foreign output and prices. The discussant, Michael Bordo, commented on the fact that the discount rate is an insufficient measure of Fed policy during this period, while Catherine Schenk observed that in reality, what we typically refer to the Bretton Woods era, in some senses ended much earlier (1947, if not earlier).
All the papers were really illuminating, in terms of empirical findings, or even in describing phenomena that were not well-known. Since all papers are linked (unfortunately not the discussion slides), there’s no excuse to skip any of them. More on Sebnem Kalemli-Ozcan’s paper and my discussio next post.

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
