European Central Bank: Research Bulletin, No.1, November 2004-

The European Central Bank (ECB) has today launched a new regular publication: the Research Bulletin. The purpose of this Bulletin is to inform a wide audience of experts and non-specialists about research by ECB staff addressing topics of relevance to central banks. The articles, which reflect the views of individual authors and do not necessarily represent those of the ECB, aim to communicate state-of-the-art research in a concise and easily accessible format.

The Bulletin is produced by the ECB’s Directorate General Research. To date, there have been four pilot issues. To coincide with the public release of the fifth issue today, all four previous issues have also been published on the ECB's website.
