Abstract: Why does research benefit central banks, and what type of research benefits them the most? Three members of the CNB’s Research Advisory Committee (RAC)1) – David Mayes, Carsten Detken and Nicoletta Batini – provide some answers to these questions. Central banks’ ability to attract the brightest young minds makes them one of the best hubs of applied economic research. Quality research serves as a reputation instrument demonstrating a central bank’s capability to handle future problems that may not simply replicate past experience. While established central banks may be able to achieve such reputation over the passage of time, “younger” central banks can demonstrate such capability both faster and more cheaply, based on evidence derived from their research. Successful central bank research programmes share some common traits. First, the management of the bank carefully selects research areas and projects based on the bank’s competitive advantage and its role in the global financial system. Second, ensuring quality output is of paramount importance, necessitating a welldesigned appraisal system and incentives for research. Finally, the bank ensures proper dissemination of research output.
