    Abstract

    In a democracy, it is only acceptable to delegate power to an independent institution if that institution has legitimacy. Both formal and substantive accountability can create legitimacy. The ECB’s extraordinary degree of independence precludes it from being substantively accountable; hence, to have legitimacy it must be formally accountable.
