ICEF Dialogues

Event ended


On Tuesday, September 26 at 3pm - 4pm, room 5306
ICEF organizes the first ICEF Dialogues talk of the academic year. ICEF Dialogues is special lecture series for students by ICEF and visiting faculty on their current and ongoing research, but presented in a non-technical and accessible way.

We are fortunate to have Prof McMahon from the University of Oxford to give a talk tomorrow:

The title of his talk tomorrow is: "Transparency and deliberation in Central Bank communications"

and summary is:

Central bank transparency is essential to democratic accountability. Central bankers often limit it – fearing its stifling effect on frank debate. Yet transparency may induce monetary policy committee members to be better prepared. I will discuss evidence showing that the ‘better prepared’ effect is important empirically. Exploiting a natural experiment in the Fed Open Market Committee in 1993 – and using computational linguistics tools to measure the impact of transparency on deliberation – the research shows that the net effect is a more informative deliberation process.
