Abstract
We investigate the effect of central bank independence on stock market returns in emerging economies. We find evidence for a positive overall effect, but economic independence of the central bank appears to be more relevant than political independence.
⺠We estimate the effect of central bank independence on stock market returns. ⺠The sample comprises emerging economies. ⺠The overall effect of central bank independence on stock market returns is positive. ⺠Economic independence is more important than political independence.
