A few years ago, many said central bank independence was too niche, too old (and too risky) to study.

I’m delighted to see my CBIE index featured in today’s FT Alphaville. Big thanks to Toby Nagle for the coverage.

The independence of the Federal Reserve is being tested. In February, A Athanasopoulos, D Masciandaro, & @davideromelli.bsky.social wrote for VoxEU that improvements in central bank independence yield long-lasting benefits, including reducing inflation persistence.

Trump's Fed attacks puncture veneer of central bank independence
If U.S. President Donald Trump's public attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell have achieved one thing, it has been to thrust the issue of central bank independence firmly into the spotlight. But this raises the question, what does 'independence' really mean?

Le thème du changement climatique est devenu central dans les discours des banques centrales. Pourquoi ? Comment ? Et avec quelles conséquences ?

Éléments de réponse dans un article @france.theconversation.com, avec @davideromelli.bsky.social , E. Campiglio et S. Scalisi:
Quand les banques centrales s’emparent de la question du climat
Un tiers des discours des banques centrales aborde désormais le thème du changement climatique. Comment ces institutions, traditionnellement focalisées sur l’inflation, en sont-elles arrivées là ?

📢 Why Central Bank Independence Matters More Than Ever 📢

Recently, Christine Lagarde warned that central bank independence is under threat.

Our latest VoxEU column explains why this is alarming—weakening independence leads to higher, more persistent inflation in the long run.

We also released a tool to facilitate research on central bank communication: meet the #CBSpeeches explorer! Four tools for the price of one (=free!)

You are welcome, @peterhtillmann.bsky.social!

It took us a lot of time to build it, but we believe the best way to maximize its impact is by sharing it with other researchers.

Thanks @davideromelli.bsky.social for making this great data set available:

"The dataset features 35,487 unique speeches from 131 central banks, for the period going from the beginning of January 1986 (date of the first online speech by a central bank) to the end of December 2023."

📢New WP & Open Access Data!📢

I am excited to share our LSE Grantham Research Institute WP on climate-related central bank communication using 35,487 speeches (1986–2023).

We find that “green” firms outperform “dirty” ones when central banks engage more on climate topics. 🌍📈
