Interest Bearing Notes: World Bank’s newsletter on latest finance research

Every two months, World Bank’s finance research and policy staff publish an academic- oriented newsletter featuring latest research progress in finance and development-related topics. The newsletter is interestingly named as the Interest Bearing Notes (IBN). I always find IBN to be a must-read for keeping pace with the constantly-moving knowledge frontier in finance research. I can testify that IBN is a very focused knowledge “bank” that seldom diversifies into non-interest-bearing operations.

IBN's self description:
"Interesting Bearing Notes is a product of the Finance Team in the World Bank's Development Research Group, in association with the policy staff in the Financial Sector Operations Vice Presidency.  We report on our own and other people’s research, dataset, conferences and miscellanea.  Our working papers and descriptions of research projects in progress can be found, along with a list of forthcoming seminars and conferences, on our web page   (http://econ.worldbank.org/programs/finance).  The next issue of Interest Bearing Notes will appear in July, so please send comments, suggestions  and requests to be added to our distribution list, to Agnes Yaptenco (ayaptenco@worldbank.org) by July 10."
