BIS Research Review

Summary:
In an Independent Review of BIS Research, Franklin Allen, Charles Bean and José De Gregorio conclude that … BIS research clearly ‘punches above its weight’ compared to its central bank peers. Finally, the relative performance of the BIS has clearly improved over the past five years, a tribute to the influence of the previous (Steve Cecchetti) and current (Claudio Borio and Hyun Shin) leadership … They recommend, among other points: The research programme should have a more clearly defined long-term focus, be less driven by short-term needs, and seek to be more holistic in approach. The internal culture should be more open to challenge and research should avoid focussing on generating results to support the ‘house view’.
