For our paper "Warning words in a warming world : Central bank communication and climate change", my co-authors and I created the most comprehensive dataset of central bank speeches ever collected. This dataset is now open access and will be updated regularly.

The CBS dataset contains 35,487 speeches, building on the BIS dataset (18,045 speeches) augmented with the systematic web-scraping of central banks' websites (15,435 new speeches) and additional work in central bank archives (2,007 original speeches). It includes over 5000 speeches in original non-English language, as well as their machine-generated translation to English. It also includes a broader set of metadata, including speakers' gender and position.
