  • A Semantic Analysis of Monetary Shamanism: a Case of the BOJ's Governor Haruhiko Kuroda
    DPRIETI Discussion Paper Series 17-E-011 A Semantic Analysis of Monetary Shamanism: A case of the BOJ's Governor Haruhiko Kuroda KEIDA Masayuki Rissho University TAKEDA Yosuke Sophia University The Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry http://www.rieti.go.jp/en/ RIETI Discussion Paper Series 17-E-011 February 2017 A Semantic Analysis of Monetary Shamanism: A case of the BOJ's Governor Haruhiko Kuroda* KEIDA Masayuki TAKEDA Yosuke Rissho University Sophia University Abstract This paper examines whether statistical natural language processing techniques have been useful in analyzing documents on monetary policy. A simple latent semantic analysis shows a relatively good performance in classifying the Bank of Japan (BOJ)’s documents on its governors’ policy and the impact without human reading. Our results also show that Governor Haruhiko Kuroda’s communication strategy changed slightly in 2016 when the BOJ introduced the negative interest rate policy. This change in 2016 is comparable to the one from the transition from Masaaki Shirakawa to Kuroda. In spite of the intention, the BOJ had a misjudgment in the communication strategy. Keywords: Monetary policy, Communication, Latent semantic analysis JEL classification: E52, E58 RIETI Discussion Papers Series aims at widely disseminating research results in the form of professional papers, thereby stimulating lively discussion. The views expressed in the papers are solely those of the author(s), and neither represent those of the organization to which the author(s) belong(s) nor the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry. *This study is conducted as a part of the Project “Sustainable Growth and Macroeconomic Policy” undertaken at Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI).

  • How to Do More
    How to do more Speech given by Adam Posen, External Member of the Monetary Policy Committee, Bank of England At Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire 13 September 2011 I have benefitted from discussions of these issues with all of my colleagues on the MPC, as well as with Brad Delong, Joe Gagnon, Ken Kuttner, Kiyohiko Nishimura, and Angel Ubide. Tomas Hellebrandt and Marilyne Tolle provided helpful advice and research assistance. I am grateful to the Ford Foundation and to the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for their support of the streams of research work underlying this argument. The views expressed herein, and any errors of fact or of interpretation, however, remain mine alone, and are not those of the MPC, the Bank, Ford, Sloan, or PIIE. All speeches are available online at www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/speeches We do want more, and when it becomes more, we shall still want more. And we shall never cease to demand more until we have received the results of our labor. - Samuel Gompers, May 2, 1890 Something's better than nothing, yes! But nothing's better than more. - Stephen Sondheim, Sung by Madonna in the movie, Dick Tracy, 1990 Both the UK and the global economy are facing a familiar foe at present: policy defeatism. Throughout modern economic history, whether in Western Europe in the 1920s, in the US and elsewhere in the 1930s, or in Japan in the 1990s, every major financial crisis-driven downturn has been followed by premature abandonment—if not reversal—of the macroeconomic stimulus policies that are necessary to sustained recovery.

  • Haruhiko Kuroda: Opening Remarks
    January 17, 2019 Bank of Japan Opening Remarks at the G20 Finance and Central Bank Deputies Meeting Haruhiko Kuroda Governor of the Bank of Japan Good afternoon. It is a great honor for me to work with you and to serve as co-chair with Minister Aso at the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meetings this year. The G20 was established in 1999, twenty years ago. It was the year when the euro was introduced and two years after the Asian Financial Crisis. I attended the inaugural meeting in Berlin as Vice-Minister of Finance for International Affairs. The main objective of the G20 was to promote cooperation among systemically significant economies including emerging market economies, in order to achieve stable and sustainable global growth. Later, the leaders' summit was initiated in response to the global financial crisis in 2008, and the G20 played a significant role in coordinating policy responses to the crisis. Since then, as the world economy has recovered from the crisis, the G20 has discussed a wide range of issues to promote strong, sustainable, balanced, and inclusive growth. While the role and agenda of the G20 have evolved over time, I would like to point out three important values that have been emphasized consistently, based on my long-time involvement in the G20 since its inauguration. First, we recognize that the expansion of cross-border transactions of goods, services, and finance will benefit all countries. We need to conduct policies so that many people can enjoy the positive effects of international trade and capital flows on growth and productivity gains, while minimizing their potential negative impacts.
