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:

📢 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. (Thread 🧵👇)

4/Our findings challenge the idea that central banks operate in a political vacuum. Politicians reassess and shape their oversight of the ECB Curious to know more? Reach out to us including @davideromelli.bsky.social and read the full article here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

📊 Last week, we released our new central bank speeches database, which almost doubles the coverage of the @BIS_org database. We also released a tool to facilitate research on central bank communication: meet the #CBSpeeches explorer! Four tools for the price of one (=free!)

What an honour to see my paper 'Trends in Central Bank Independence: A De-Jure Perspective' cited in the ECB speech, highlighting the critical challenges facing central bank independence today. Read the speech here: www.ecb.europa.eu/press/key/da... Interested in the Paper & Data 👉 cbidata.org

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.

📢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. 🌍📈 For more details🧵👇
