Conclusions"" 330 3 $aA motivation for central bank independence (CBI) is that policy delegation helps politicians manage diverse coalitions. This paper develops a model of coalition formation that predicts when delegation will occur. An analysis of policy preferences survey data and CBI indicators supports the predictions. Case studies, drawn from several countries' recent past and the nineteenth-century United States, provide further support. Finally, the model explains why the expected negative relationship between CBI and inflation is not empirically robust: endogenous selection biases the estimated effect towards zero. The data confirm this. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/256 606 $aBanks and banking, Central 606 $aMonetary policy 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aCentral bank autonomy$2imf 606 $aCentral Banks and Their Policies$2imf 606 $aCentral banks$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aModels of Political Processes: Rent-seeking, Elections, Legislatures, and Voting Behavior$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aMultiple or Simultaneous Equation Models: Cross-Sectional Models$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aNoncooperative Games$2imf 606 $aPersonal income$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aSpatial Models$2imf 606 $aTreatment Effect Models$2imf 607 $aSouth Africa$2imf 615 0$aBanks and banking, Central. 615 0$aMonetary policy. 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aCentral bank autonomy 615 7$aCentral Banks and Their Policies 615 7$aCentral banks 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aModels of Political Processes: Rent-seeking, Elections, Legislatures, and Voting Behavior 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aMultiple or Simultaneous Equation Models: Cross-Sectional Models 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aNoncooperative Games 615 7$aPersonal income 615 7$aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aSpatial Models 615 7$aTreatment Effect Models 700 $aCrowe$b Christopher$0868737 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808808403321 996 $aGoal-Independent Central Banks$93957462 997 $aUNINA
