Overview
The Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability (IMFS) is an academic center at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. It consists of three core professorships, which belong to the university departments of economics and law.

Macroeconomic Model Database
The Macroeconomic Model Database (MMB) is an archive of macroeconomic models based on a common computational platform for systematic model comparison. The platform contains more than 160 structural macroeconomic models that can be compared across multiple dimensions. The user-friendly interface makes the various comparison exercises easily accessible. Replication packages are available for each model in the database, containing both codes and comments on the replication of the respective models.
