BoE awarded research prize to authors of study into counter-cyclicality

The winners of a Bank of England research competition find using monetary policy to smooth the financial cycle – "leaning against the wind" – damages welfare, while a recent paper published by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) finds some positive growth effects.

William Tayler and Roy Zilberman, lecturers at Lancaster University, won the BoE's inaugural research prize for their paper Macroprudential regulation, credit spreads and the role of monetary policy.
