Inflation targeting matters: evidence from OECD economies' sacrifice ratios

Goncalves, Carlos Eduardo S. - ; Carvalho, Alexandre - ;

Using data from OECD economies, we show that inflation targeters suffered smaller output losses during disinflations when compared to nontargeters. We also study why some countries choose to inflation target while others do not and find that higher average inflation and smaller debt levels render the adoption of the regime more likely. Applying Heckman's procedure to control for selection bias does not alter the link between inflation targeting and less costly disinflations. .Printed journal
