Thesis Title
The Accountability and Independence of the ECB post euro-crisis.
Thesis Abstract
The balance between accountability and independence is a difficult one. Central Banks need to be able to conduct monetary policy without too much political interference. The European Central Bank in particular is one of the most independent Central Banks globally. Its mandate was, however, also very restricted and narrow. During the financial crisis the ECB undertook various actions that were unconventional. My research examines how these actions impacted the mandate of the ECB. It furthermore discusses whether this impact requires a new critical analysis of its accountability structure. This assessment is done against the light of the actions, mandate and accountability of the United States Federal Reserve Bank. By comparing the two banks more insight will be gained into how accountability and independence relate, and whether the ECB’s accountability structure needs change.
