The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco established the EmergingTech Economic Research Network (EERN) in 2024 to provide a platform for sharing knowledge and research on emerging technologies and their economic impacts.
Now in its third year, the EERN community has grown significantly, offering a place for people to exchange ideas and learn about research and insights across the Federal Reserve System, in academia, and in the private sector.
You can find analysis and perspectives on emerging technologies in four formats: (1) research authored or co-authored by Federal Reserve economists; (2) speeches by members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC); (3) upcoming events and recordings of past events; (4) District insights and survey results from businesses and community leaders within the San Francisco Fed’s District.
