Robert Pringle is someone whose thoughts are worth following. He was
ReplyDeletethe first managing director of the Group of Thirty ( you can look up the
historic membership of that group, incl. TPS and Jaques de la Rosiere)
and he has published a quarterly review of central banking for 20 yrs.
( see: centralbanking.com ) This is subscription only, but he puts out
one thing in the public realm, Robert Pringle's Viewpoint, which anyone
can access. ( just google it ) Greetz!
Hi, sometimes I do check CBing. Thanks
ReplyDeleteG30 I know of course, I had some post about it long time ago.
There were few research papers worth to look at, Duisenberg/Schioppa´s one and Mundell if I remember correctly.
