While case study evidence clearly indicates that weak central bank finances can hamper effective policy implementation, the question of whether central bank financial strength influences policy performance remains controversial. This is due, in part, to a lack of econometric evidence. The paper presents a first step toward filling this gap, by providing a quantitative evaluation of the relationship between measures of central bank financial strength and policy performance, in particular inflation. The paper's major finding is that there indeed is a negative relationship between central bank financial strength and inflation outcomes. This relationship appears to be robust to the choice of alternative country samples, control variables, estimation strategies, and conceptualizations of central bank financial strength. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/176 606 $aBanks and banking, Central$xEconometric models 606 $aMonetary policy$xEconometric models 606 $aAccounting$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aCentral bank autonomy$2imf 606 $aCentral bank balance sheet$2imf 606 $aCentral Banks and Their Policies$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aFinance, Public$2imf 606 $aFinancial reporting, financial statements$2imf 606 $aFinancial statements$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aPublic Administration$2imf 606 $aPublic Sector Accounting and Audits$2imf 607 $aChile$2imf 615 0$aBanks and banking, Central$xEconometric models. 615 0$aMonetary policy$xEconometric models. 615 7$aAccounting 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aCentral bank autonomy 615 7$aCentral bank balance sheet 615 7$aCentral Banks and Their Policies 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aFinance, Public 615 7$aFinancial reporting, financial statements 615 7$aFinancial statements 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aPublic Administration 615 7$aPublic Sector Accounting and Audits 676 $a332.11 700 $aStella$b Peter$01815759 701 $aKlueh$b Ulrich$01815761 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957406003321 996 $aCentral Bank Financial Strength and Policy Performance$94371304 997 $aUNINA
