Abstract

A szerző arra keresi a választ, hogy milyen tényezők biztosították a jegybankfüggetlenség magyarországi megerősödését annak ellenére, hogy minden választási periódusban új pártkoalíció került kormányzati pozícióba. Állítása szerint 1991 és 1995 között az igen magas szintű formális függetlenség ellenére a jegybank még nem jelentett számottevő korlátot a kormány gazdaságpolitikai döntései számára. 1995-ben a Bokros-csomag részeként bevezetett csúszó leértékelő árfolyamrendszer más kormányzati elkötelezettségekkel együtt azonban már jelentősen hozzájárult az intézmény megerősödéséhez. A cikk egy egyszerű politikai gazdaságtani modellen keresztül mutatja be, hogy tökéletlen intézményes kötelezettségek (mint a csúszó leértékelő árfolyamrendszer bevezetése vagy egy konzervatív jegybankelnök kinevezése) a gazdasági szereplők számára nyújtott jelzésfunkciójukon keresztül hogyan maradhatnak sikeresek egy megosztott és instabil politikai rendszerben is.
