1. Clearly, the specific form of independence may matter for inflation. Debelle and Fischer maintain it is goal dependence and instrument independence that would produce low inflation. In fact, such an arrangement may prevent policy makers from changing the objective of policy on a frequent basis, thereby provoking the time inconsistency problem.
2. What is more, even if central bank independence leads to low inflation, the case for independence might be greatly weakened if it is accompanied by a growing real economic instability. However, little relationship was found between measures of real economic activity and central bank independence.
3. In other words, countries with more independence central banks enjoyed lower inflation yet suffered no cost in terms of more volatile real economic activity. Viewed from this point, one may be inclined to see central bank independence as a kind of free lunch.
4. While standard indices of central bank independence were negatively associated  with inflation among developed economies, this was not the case among developing economies. Here, turnover rates of central bank governors were positively correlated with inflation. This is a case, however, in which causality is difficult to evaluate: Was inflation high because of political interference that leads to rapid turnover of central bank officials? Or did central bank officials get fired because they couldn’t keep inflation low?

  • I’ve read the extract from the monograph «Monetary economics in globalised financial markets» edited by Ansgar Belke and Thorsten Polleit. The extract deals with the problem of central bank’s independence. According to the text the dependence of central bank on national policy affects the inflation. I should mention that indices of central bank independence are negatively associated only with developed, not developing economies. I’d like also to add that turnover rates of bank’s staff are linked with inflation.
  • The extract I’d like to speak about is from the monograph «Monetary economics in globalised financial markets» edited by Ansgar Belke and Thorsten Polleit. This extract is about inflation. Inflation can be in developed and developing countries. So central bank’s independence can bring to economic instability, in case independence results in low inflation. This low inflation leads to growing economic instability. There are lots of problems between real economic activity and central bank independence. It’s extremely difficult to understand what goes first: high inflation or turnover of bank managers.
  • The extract I am going to speak about is taken from the monograph «Monetary economics in globalised financial markets». The extract centers round the problem of inflation among developed and developing economies. The authors put forward the idea that central bank’s independence and consequent low inflation aren’t so good for economic stability. By the way, economic instability can be provoked by low inflation. As for the question of difficult evaluation of high inflation’s causality and political interference, which can lead rather fast to the fact, that central bank officials will be fired, it’s hard to define.
  • The title of the monograph the passage is taken from is «Monetary economics in globalised financial markets» edited by Ansgar Belke and Thorsten Polleit. The extract focuses on the problem of interrelationship of inflation and independence of the banks. The main idea of the passage is to show that if low inflation is caused by independence of the central bank, the case for independence might not be great, if low inflation is accompanied by a growing real economic instability. However, it should be taken into account that there are many questions, connected with the difficult evaluation of the causality of high inflation and political interference, leading to rapid resignation of central bank officials.
