While you are waiting for today's #MPC decision, you may wish to read our @IMFNews paper on how @bankofengland comms can support more effective monetary policy.

Work w/ @jagjit_chadha @CMacchiarelli Satyam Goel & Sathya Mellina on Brexit, @bankofengland communication and bond market responses now online as @IMFNews WP
imf.org/en/Publications/WP/I…
We show that central bank communication strengthened and prolonged the impact monetary policy measures had on financial markets. This helped prevent a rise in Brexit-related risk premia.
Glad to have finally found a home for this work with @ProfPeterDolton. Quick summary 🧵 follows.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
In the short run, wage setting in the public sector can spill over to pay in private sector industries. We find spillovers to be particularly significant to sectors that are domestically facing, have low bargaining power or use inputs from the public sector.
Over the years the paper benefited from much support. Thanks to @amit_kara for initial motivation, colleagues @NIESRorg for support, @PayReviewBodies for funding & editor + referees @EconomicaLSE for helpful suggestions. Views are our own and can't be attributed to our employers.
The complex, unintended consequences of pension auto enrollment - so cool to see @jesalsheth et al.'s research now out as NBER WP.
Autoenrollment in a pension increases borrowing outside the pension, but also causes loan defaults to decrease and credit scores to rise, from @johnbeshears, Blakstad, Choi, Firth, @johngathergood, Laibson, Notley, Sheth, Sandbrook, and Stewart nber.org/papers/w32100

Five decades since the craze for Brutalism, most of the discussion about these buildings is about tearing them down. But the radical social vision that drove their rise has largely been forgotten.
