Interesting @reuters.com article, referring to my research on central bank *de facto* independence 👇

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?

In a time of large shocks and rising inequality, the political divide is growing. Polarization forces changes to private and public governance, reshaping financial markets, corporate strategies and public policy. How does corporate governance adjust in a more conflictual world? How do a divided society and politicized corporations respond to major societal challenges such as climate change or economic decline? How do inequality and politicization shape governance choices and the trade-offs faced by voters, businesses and governments? How can organisations foster trust and cohesion in an era of polarization? The conference invites theoretical and empirical papers on these and related themes. The conference keynote will be delivered by Nobel Laureate: Jean Tirole (Toulouse School of Economics and CEPR) This conference results from the merger of the conferences on Political Economy of Finance previously organised by PolEconFin and the Stigler Center, respectively. This revamped conference series is held annually and alternates between Europe and the United States. The event, jointly hosted by the Stigler Center and The Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), aims to bring together researchers active at the intersections between Economics, Finance, Political Science, Philosophy, and Law. This conference is by invitation-only. This edition is co-funded by Imperial College London and Erasmus Initiative ‘Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity’ at Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Super nice and important work by my colleague Guosong Xu showing that legislators' voting patterns have increasingly aligned with the interests of the affluent and become less attuned to the priorities of lower-income constituents:
