ECMI produces research on most topics related to capital markets in Europe. Our research covers a wide variety of matters such as financial stability and innovation, the integration of EU capital markets, their efficiency and EU regulatory policy with regard to banking, insurance, alternative investments and others.

The ECMI Research output is classified into four main categories, depending on the frequency and the depth of the analysis: commentaries, policy briefs, research reports and books. Scroll down for more information on each of these documents and access to our latest research output and our archive. Most of our research can be accessed free of charge.
