CCBS Technical Handbooks

Handbooks | Technical Handbooks | Lecture Series

The series of Technical Handbooks in Central Banking has grown out of the activities of the Bank of England's Centre for Central Banking Studies in arranging and delivering training courses, conferences and expert advice for central banks and central bankers of countries across the globe.

Our Technical Handbook series provides comprehensive coverage of complex topics which concern central banks and are targeted primarily at specialist central bank economists. The Technical Handbooks often contain more methodological material than the Handbooks, incorporating the experiences and expertise of the author(s) on topics that address the problems encountered by central bankers in their day-to-day work. They are not intended solely as an introduction to a particular topic and develop a rigorous framework for analysis where appropriate. They may reflect research findings as well as more practical aspects to the topic: Often they provide a `toolkit' for further study and research.

Technical Handbooks aim to be reasonably self-contained, with an indication of the necessary pre-requisites and recommendations for further reading. The views expressed in the Handbooks are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Bank of England.
