Title: Central Bank Design

Author(s): Ricardo Reis

Publication Date: July 2013

Keyword(s): Mechanism Design and Monetary Policy

Programme Area(s): International Macroeconomics

Abstract: What set of institutions can support the activity of a central bank? Designing a central bank requires specifying its objective function, including the bank's mandate at different horizons and the choice of banker(s), specifying the resource constraint that limits the resources that the central bank generates, the assets it holds, or the payments on its liabilities, and finally specifying how the central bank will communicate with private agents to affect the way they respond to policy choices. This paper summarizes the relevant economic literature that bears on these choices, leading to twelve principles on central bank design.
