  • Monetary Policy Oversight in Comparative Perspective: Britain and America During the Financial Crisis
    Political Science and Political Economy Working Paper Department of Government London School of Economics No. 3/2014 Monetary Policy Oversight in Comparative Perspective: Britain and America during the Financial Crisis Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey (LSE) Monetary Policy Oversight in Comparative Perspective: Britain and America During the Financial Crisis Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey Government Department London School of Economics and Political Science Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE [email protected] http://personal.lse.ac.uk/schonhar/ This study examines deliberation on monetary policy oversight in the US and UK between 2006 and 2009. It employs reciprocity as the key criterion for judging the quality of monetary policy oversight deliberation (i.e., committee participants are expected to engage with one another, taking up and responding to the reasons offered by other participants). Using automated content analysis, the empirical finding is that reciprocity is clearly evident in the parliamentary oversight committee, but much less so in the two congressional committees. The two country cases represent very different approaches to legislative oversight, with the UK demonstrating a committee approach both in terms of the testimony of the monetary policy body and of the behaviour of the legislative committee, while the US demonstrates a focus on a series of individual contributions both from the Fed chairman and Members of Congress. In the US, this appears to allow greater scope to divert discussion away from the primary focus of hearings (i.e., monetary policy). 1 I. Introduction In normal economic times, clashes between politicians and central bankers in legislative oversight hearings on monetary policy are not typically considered worthy of headline news coverage.

  • 'Marsh Exposes the Basic Problem of the Euro: No One's in Charge
    ‘Marsh exposes the basic problem of the euro: no one’s in charge. Monetary union was a colossally risky experiment launched without adequate crisis management precautions and without centralised political oversight. Unlike the other countries, Britain properly analysed the risks and decided, rightly, to stay out. It’s a pity that other Europeans didn’t show similar caution.’ —Lord (John) McFall, member of the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee, former chair, House of Commons Treasury Committee ‘David Marsh has once again placed his finger on the gaping wounds that continue to afflict the European Monetary Union. While not everyone will agree with his conclusions – and a great many more will hope that he is wrong – he has built a cogent case for being very worried about the future of the single currency.’ —Prof. Michael Burda, School of Business and Economics, Humboldt University of Berlin ‘Europe is brilliantly right because it has achieved zero prospect of war, an achievement no other region can match. Yet it’s also brilliantly wrong because it has tried to achieve an impossible dream: monetary union without fiscal union. Marsh explains well the European mess and even suggests a solution. His book is a must-read for European policy-makers. Even Asians may learn a lesson or two.’ —Prof. Kishore Mahbubani, dean, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore ‘A brilliant and incisive analysis of the intractable practical and political problems facing the euro and why the hopes of its founders have been disappointed.’ —Lord (Christopher) Tugendhat, chair, House of Lords EU External Affairs Committee, former European commissioner ‘The fate of the euro area is the most momentous public issue of our times and there is no better guide than this gripping, well-informed study by the leading expert on its genesis and development.’ —Prof.
