The Quality of Eligible Collateral, Central Bank Losses and Monetary Stability
This book investigates to what extent the quality of eligible collateral is able to explain inflation.

An index of the quality of eligible collateral is constructed. Regression analyses are performed based on a sample of 62 countries for the period 1990 to 2003.
