Sharing an updated @BoE_Research version of my working paper with Niki Anesti & Vania Esady showing that food prices matter most for household inflation expectations. Many new results including uncovering persistent, non-linear, and asymmetric dynamics.

Presenting a paper recently published as a #LSE#CfM DP on household inflation expectations tomorrow at the #EEARotterdam. Come on down if you're around!

Happy to share my new WP published by the #BaselCommittee at the @BIS, joint with @RenzoCorrias and Peter Welz. Our analysis, causally attributing banks’ window-dressing bhvr to attempts to arbitrage the #GSIB fwk, has underpinned the below consultation. https://t.co/ruCByCcqsa
The #BaselCommittee consultation on window-dressing proposes to require banks to report and disclose the indicators used to calculate #GSIB scores based on average values over the reporting year, rather than year-end values #BaselIII https://t.co/loTVG3XR4Y
This bhvr accounts for half of the observed year-end contractions in notional derivatives, equating to 30 trillion EUR per year – 5% of total global activity.
SWP 1047 by Matthew Naylor (BoE) and Michael McMahon @mcmahonecon (@OxfordEconDept) argues traditional semantic measures of linguistic complexity are less effective for evaluating central bank comms and suggest conceptual complexity measures are better

Our results suggest that policy institutions could benefit from paying particular attention to ‘conceptual’ complexity for effective policy communication design. 7/7
Using my very first tweet to announce a new @BoE_Research and @cepr_org working paper with @mcmahonecon. We investigate how complex information can be communicated effectively to a broad range of audiences. 1/7 https://t.co/WTCijFgk5m
Applying the CCI to quarterly BoE publications, we show that efforts to simplify language have focused on the Flesch-Kincaid score. Yet, the conceptual complexity (which matters more for ‘getting through’) has not followed the same trend-decline. 6/7
