Monetary Analysis at Central Banks

David Cobham taught at the University of St Andrews, Scotland, UK, from 1976 to 2005, during which time he was Houblon-Norman research fellow at the Bank of England in 1987 and again in 2001. Since 2005 he has been Professor of Economics at Heriot-Watt University, Scotland, UK. David specialises in monetary policy and has published numerous papers and books in this area.

“By covering the monetary-policy frameworks and implications in three countries, partly with a comparative perspective, this book contributes to the understanding of the changes in monetary policy analysis in the post-GR period. As such, it is of considerable interest to those in the central-banking practice, as well monetary theorists around the world.” (Bilin Neyapti, Journal of Economic Literature, Vol. 55 (1), March, 2017)
