Question 2: What is the probability that the UK experiences such a significant disruption to financial markets and asset prices following a vote for Brexit on 23 June?
It seems to me that all depends on which model would be adopted in the post-Brexit scenario. For example if the UK were to seek to join the EEA adopting a model like Norway, the UK could continue to advantage of the passport system and would maintain existing regulation. Alternatively under a UK EU free trade agreement models the UK could regulate its own financial service sector.
Question 2: Do you agree that central banks should operationalise the use of these alternative tools of unconventional monetary policy for use either in the near term, or in the future, as economic conditions warrant?
There might be a scope for expanding tools but my impression is that they might less effective as the current situation of low growth and inflation persists. For example the current Japanese experience with negative rates raises questions on its effectiveness and might suggest that alternative policy tools should be adopted (i.e. fiscal policy).
Question 1:Do you agree that central banks should continue to use the unconventional tools of monetary policy deployed in response to the global financial crisis as part of monetary policy under normal economic conditions?
as long as these unconventional policies are useful in achieving Central Banks' target (i.e. inflation), they could be used even in normal times even though it is not clear to me to what extent in normal time there is more substitutability between conventional and unconventional monetary policy tools.
The CFM surveys informs the public about the views held by prominent economists based in Europe on important macroeconomic and public policy questions. Some surveys focus specifically on the UK economy (as the CFM is a UK research centre), but surveys can in principle focus on any macroeconomic question for any region. The surveys shed light on the extent to which there is agreement or disagreement among these experts. An important motivation for the survey is to give a more comprehensive overview of the beliefs held by economists and in particular to include the views of those economists whose opinions are not frequently heard in public debates.
Questions mainly focus on macroeconomic and public policy topics. Although there are some questions that focus specifically on the UK economy, the setup of the survey is much broader and considers questions related to other countries/regions and also considers questions not tied to a specific economy.
The surveys are done in collaboration with the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR).
