In which way central bankers’ biographies matter?
Conclusion - Trajectories relate to social experiences in various professional sectors and institutions. - Biographies do matter provided that one has a multidimensional and complex conception of trajectories. - Our two case studies first show that diverging conceptions of central banking statistically relate to differences in educational and social trajectories. - But far from a mechanical one-way determination, this relation is a complex process which varies from one context to another, as show the specific oppositions which take place during particular periods inside the ECB and among Middle-East governors. - These differences in personal profiles tend to reinforce institutional and legal differences such as the level of independence of the central bank in the case of Middle-East countries, or national differences inside the ECB Governing council.
