⁠How Central Bank Independence Shapes Monetary Policy Communication: A Large Language Model Application

This Docker container comes with all the required packages and codes and data to replicate all the Figures and Tables in "How Central Bank Independence Shapes Monetary Policy Communication: A Large Language Model Application"⁠ published in the European Journal of Political Economy (2025).

⁠Usage

The basic syntax to run the container is the following.

docker run -it cbi_llm_com

This runs produces all tables and figures then drops the user in an interactive shell. The container will continue running for as long as the shell is not closed. To circumvent running all the graphs at first, it possible to overwrite default behavior and go immediately to the shell:

docker run -it cbi_llm_com bash

All the replication codes, which can also be found on Github⁠ and OSF⁠ are at initialization of the Docker container copied to the /home/ folder of the container. The output (i.e. all the graphs and tables) will be written to /home/output.

To work with the code, make changes etc. and easily access the output it is therefore useful to mount a directory from the Docker host (e.g., /path/to/myfolder) into the container's /home/ directory:

docker run -it -v /path/to/myfolder:/home/ cbi_llm_com
