TLDR
In this paper, the authors stress the importance of employing dynamic central bank independence indices in two ways: first, they perform unit root tests with structural breaks to verify if the implementation of central bank reforms represents a structural break for the inflation rate dynamics.About:

More effective than we thought: Central bank independence and inflation in developing countries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of legal central bank independence on inflation in developing countries and found that higher central bank autonomy is associated with lower inflation rates, and that this effect is stronger the more democratic a country is, but also present in non-democratic countries.

The Central Banker as Prudential Supervisor; Does Independence Matter?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study whether central bank independence and monetary policy arrangements can jointly influence the likelihood of policymakers assigning banking supervision to central banks, and they find that a higher degree of central bank operational independence is associated with a lower probability of supervisory powers being entrusted to the monetary authority.

Ups and downs of central bank independence from the Great Inflation to the Great Recession: theory, institutions and empirics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a systematic review of the economics of central bank independence, using a principal agent model, which explains how politicians can shape central bank governance in addressing macroeconomic shocks, taking into account both the wishes of the citizens and their own personal interests.

Distribution of the Estimators for Autoregressive Time Series with a Unit Root
David A. Dickey,Wayne A. Fuller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the limit distributions of the estimator of p and of the regression t test are derived under the assumption that p = ± 1, where p is a fixed constant and t is a sequence of independent normal random variables.

Rules Rather than Discretion: The Inconsistency of Optimal Plans
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that discretionary policy does not result in the social objective function being maximized, and that there is no way control theory can be made applicable to economic planning when expectations are rational.

The Great Crash, the Oil Price Shock, and the Unit Root Hypothesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the null hypothesis that a time series has a unit root with possibly nonzero drift against the alternative that the process is "trend-stationary" and show how standard tests of the unit root hypothesis against trend stationary alternatives cannot reject the unit-root hypothesis if the true data generating mechanism is that of stationary fluctuations around a trend function which contains a one-time break.
