Dear EFG Program Members -
The Bank of England is interested in feedback on their research agenda.
Mark Gertler and Pete Klenow thought that it would be worthwhile to
circulate the attached document to EFG program members. An excerpt from
an explanatory message from Michael Kumhof at the Bank is pasted below;
free to contact him (Michael.Kumhof_at_bankofengland.co.uk) if you have any
thoughts.

>From Michael Kumhof:
I have recently taken up the position of Senior Research Advisor at the
Bank of England, where I will help to build up a new Research Hub with a
very ambitious, and wide-ranging, research agenda. The Bank of England
is one of only a handful of institutions in the world that are
responsible for all of monetary, macroprudential and microprudential
policy. All of these areas raise big questions, not least of which is
the interaction between them. Conventional thinking about these policies
has been challenged by the financial crisis. New policies and
interventions have been deployed; new financial regulations introduced;
new supervisory practices adopted. World-class policymaking requires
frontier research. The Bank of England is therefore publishing a
coordinated One Bank Research Agenda, spanning all aspects of central
banking and focussing in particular on the intersections between policy
areas. The attached Discussion Paper gives more details on the themes we
have identified, setting out important questions and issues under each
of them.
Making progress on such a broad agenda requires input from and
collaboration with the wider community of academics, policy makers and
experts. By publishing these research questions, we aim to open up our
research agenda. We encourage feedback and debate on both the content
of our research agenda and on fruitful approaches for tackling questions
within it.
