Inflation targeting: implementation, communication and effectiveness, 10-12 June, 2005

Workshop, Sveriges Riksbank

Organized by Governor Lars Heikensten and Professor Lars Svensson, Princeton University, with the assistance of Claes Berg, Advisor to the Governor.

The objective of the conference is to gather a rather small group of central bankers with an interest in academic issues and prominent academics and researchers in order to discuss the requirements of inflation targeting in terms of analysis and communication. Six papers will be presented and discussed by central bankers and academics. The presentation of the papers will be followed by a panel chaired by Lars Heikensten.

The workshop will cover the analysis required for best-practice inflation targeting, the effectiveness of communication, and the evolution of credibility and expectations under inflation targeting.

The workshop is by invitation only.
