The ability to conduct financial transactions using bank notes is crucial to independent living. Yet this can pose significant challenges for individuals who are blind or partially sighted. This article discusses the Bank of Canada's efforts over the past 30 years to meet the accessibility needs of a specific subset of the population–Canadians living with blindness or vision loss. It also reports the findings of expert and user assessments of the suite of accessibility features on the current series of bank notes and shares plans for the next series.2009-11-11T09:00:30+00:00enMaking Bank Notes Accessible for Canadians Living with Blindness or Low Vision2009-11-11Testing for Financial Contagion with Applications to the Canadian Banking System

The author proposes a new test for financial contagion based on a non-parametric measure of the cross-market correlation. The test does not depend on the assumption that the data are drawn from a given probability distribution; therefore, it allows for maximal flexibility in fitting into the data.2009-05-03T11:26:49+00:00enTesting for Financial Contagion with Applications to the Canadian Banking System2009-05-03Central bank researchEconometric and statistical methodsFinancial stabilityWorking Paper 2009-14 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp09-14.pdfTesting for Financial Contagion with Applications to the Canadian Banking SystemFuchun LiMay 2009CC1C12GG0G01G1G15Next Steps for Canadian Monetary Policy

In 2006, the Bank initiated a research program exploring two alternatives to the current inflation-targeting framework: (i) lowering the inflation target and (ii) shifting to a price-level target. This article discusses progress to date, places the Bank's findings in the context of a broader literature, and identifies avenues for future research.2009-04-09T14:23:10+00:00enNext Steps for Canadian Monetary Policy2009-04-09Unexpected Inflation and Redistribution of Wealth in Canada

One of the most important arguments in favour of price stability is that unexpected inflation generates changes in the distribution of income and wealth among different economic agents. These redistributions occur because many loans are specified in fixed dollar terms and unexpected inflation redistributes wealth from creditors to debtors by reducing the real value of nominal assets and liabilities.2009-04-05T09:55:25+00:00enUnexpected Inflation and Redistribution of Wealth in Canada2009-04-05Computing the Accuracy of Complex Non-Random Sampling Methods: The Case of the Bank of Canada's Business Outlook Survey
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2009/03/working-paper-2009-10/
A number of central banks publish their own business conditions survey based on non-random sampling methods. The results of these surveys influence monetary policy decisions and thus affect expectations in financial markets. To date, however, no one has computed the statistical accuracy of these surveys because their respective non-random sampling method renders this assessment non-trivial.2009-03-02T14:58:26+00:00enComputing the Accuracy of Complex Non-Random Sampling Methods: The Case of the Bank of Canada's Business Outlook Survey2009-03-02Central bank researchEconometric and statistical methodsRegional economic developmentsWorking Paper 2009-10 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp09-10.pdfComputing the Accuracy of Complex Non-Random Sampling Methods: The Case of the Bank of Canada's Business Outlook SurveyDaniel de MunnikDavid DupuisMark IllingMarch 2009CC4C8C81C9C90
