Central Bank Policy

Aim of the StudyThe paper aimed to create a mathematical tool that would aid economists in predicting the effectiveness of central banks in different countries.

MethodologyThis study adopted an organised methodology starting with the specification of necessary parameters to be incorporated in the final equation. Country cases were provided for each variable and their significance was discussed and illustrated. Variables were then quantified and assigned a value between 0 and 1, with their mean calculated to provide a simplified representation of the overall impact. This approach helped in reaching a structured and clear conclusion with relation to the selected variables.

Findings / ResultsThe study proposed a new analytical tool that clearly linked various factors, including political stability, the informal economy, and social and religious attitudes, and their relationship with monetary policy outcomes. The tool could also predict the future possibilities regarding interest change in any country to favour its decision.
