Credibility

• Readability and the Bank of Canada

  Staff Analytical Note 2018-20 Alexandre Deslongchamps

  In this note, I assess the readability of Bank of Canada publications using a formula commonly used for this type of evaluation. I find that Bank publications are more difficult to read than the media articles and other content our target audiences likely consume. This suggests that more simple writing can help the Bank better meet its communication objectives.
