Survey FAQ

The survey will be conducted in the third quarter of 2022. The results will be evaluated in the second half of 2022 and published thereafter as a Czech National Bank Working Paper. The time schedule for possible future rounds of the survey has yet to be decided.

Only results which have been summarised and presented as an average across individuals will be made publicly available. It will not be possible to identify individual responses from these results. The survey results will be available on the CNB website. A detailed analysis will be published as a Czech National Bank Working Paper and will also be freely available on the CNB website.

No. The survey is intended only for academic and central bank experts in finance and regulation. The invitation to participate in the survey was sent to a selected list of respondents who meet these criteria. However, we encourage you to forward the link to the survey to your colleagues who are interested in participating in the survey and have expertise in this area.  We are also happy to receive suggestions on whom to include in possible future rounds by email at CNBsurvey@cnb.cz.

Yes. You cannot be identified from the survey. The results will be summarised and presented as average findings across all respondents. Only the survey team will have access to the individual anonymous responses and even they will not be able to identify individual respondents (i.e. the survey platform automatically anonymises the responses).

All answers are mandatory by default. However, you can select the “No opinion” option which is available for almost all questions except the demographic ones. The “No opinion” option is not available for demographic questions, as we need them to filter the responses and analyse heterogeneity. You may exit the survey at any time.

Yes. The invitation to participate in the survey was sent by email to a selected list of respondents (see above: Who was asked to participate in the survey and why?). We encourage you to forward the link to the survey to your colleagues who are interested in participating in the survey. We are also happy to receive suggestions on whom to include in possible future rounds by email at CNBsurvey@cnb.cz.

We encourage respondents to answer all the questions based on their own opinion and expertise. We understand that it may be difficult to provide answers to some questions in this survey without further qualifying them. We encourage you to use the feedback section at the end of the survey to expand on your answers.
