This speech from the Czech central bank governor (who has openly considered including Bitcoin in reserves several times) feels like it comes from another dimension when compared to standard central bank speeches (or is it just me?) - www.bis.org/review/r2604...

I recently caught up with this interview of Claudio Borio from @davidbeckworth.bsky.social on the future of CB operating systems t.co/2IMELpougN (associated BIS paper: www.bis.org/publ/work110...). A key point: the often-stated argument for keeping an “ample” reserve framework may be overstated.

This is quite surprising to me. Changes in salient prices and underlying inflation would explain little of the 2025 U.S. inflation expectations surge, leaving 7.5 p.points unexplained (grey part) at the 8 p.point peak. Does anyone know any work on that?

Stephen Cecchetti and Kermit L. Schoenholtz argued in a recent CEPR #PolicyInsight that tokenisation is the truly transformative innovation in finance today. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky

Crypto, tokenisation, and the future of payments
The introduction of crypto technology and tokenisation is spurring changes in the financial system. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is taking steps to integrate crypto into traditional finance, most notably the GENIUS Act’s establishment of a regulatory regime for payment stablecoins. This column explores the US’ policy goals concerning digital assets and argues that tokenisation – rather than crypto-related technologies such as blockchains and distributed ledgers – is the truly transformative innovation in finance today.

Took BlaBlaCar again yesterday after years (great company). As often, when I mention I work on central banks, the first question is about money creation—essentially, why it’s not a magic fix for government budget constraints. Small sample, but I got the same question on my last BlaBlaCar 4 years ago

Survey invitations often describe the topic of the survey. A simple, classic example of how this biases results: survey recruitment materials about bird watching led to higher estimates of the % of people who engage in bird-watching. doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

Social scientists take note: asking the right question is crucial to getting the important answer. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com has a banger of an analysis in today’s FT, and the right question is about media fragmentation and how we go about getting shared information. It’s not about misinformation.

The misinformation discourse is a distraction
Media fragmentation and the erosion of shared sources of truth are bigger threats

Understanding causality vs. correlation is genuinely hard especially on complex topics like inflation. Our research finds that 60% of Americans think high interest rates cause high inflation & support rate cuts to fight it. But high rates usually respond to inflation,not cause it
