Survey FAQ

While the Bank of Finland survey was aimed at how bank capital regulation should be designed and optimally set, we have focused on the institutional arrangements that determine the impact (and the effectiveness) of macroprudential policy as well as its interaction with monetary policy.

The purpose of the survey is to collect academic and professional expert opinion on the impact of macroprudential policy measures, their interaction with monetary policy measures and the role of an institutional arrangement.

The survey is conducted by research economists from the Czech National Bank. The members of the survey team can be found here: Survey team and contact details and can be reached by email at MMPSurvey@cnb.cz.

The survey results are not meant to directly guide any policy decisions or institutional change. However, they will be made freely available, and as such, may be included in any academic or policy discussions.

The survey will be conducted in 2021 2Q. The results will be evaluated in the second half of 2021 and published thereafter as a Czech National Bank Working Paper. The time schedule for possible future rounds of the survey has yet to be decided.

Only results which have been summarized and presented as an average across individuals will be made publicly available. It will not be possible to identify individual responses from these results. The survey results will be summarized here: Survey results. A detailed analysis will be published as a Czech National Bank Working Paper and will also be freely available on the CNB website.

Yes. You cannot be identified from the survey. The results will be summarized and presented as average findings across all respondents. Only the survey team will have access to the individual anonymous responses and even they will not be able to identify individual respondents (i.e. the survey platform automatically anonymises the responses).

All answers are mandatory by default. However, you can select the “No opinion” option which is available for almost all questions except the demographic ones. The “No opinion” option is not available for demographic questions, as we need them to filter the responses and analyse heterogeneity. You may exit the survey at any time.
