Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Money. 31: 285-295.http://hdl.handle.net/10454/7169YesWe examine whether the inflation rates of the countries that pursueinflation targeting policies have converged as opposed to the expe-rience of the OECD non-inflation targeters. Using a methodologyintroduced by Pesaran (2007a), we examine the stationarity prop-erties of the inflation differentials. This approach has the advantageof avoiding setting arbitrarily a specific country as the benchmarkeconomy. Our results indicate that the inflation rates converge irre-spective of the monetary policy framework.en© 2014 Elsevier. Reproduced in accordance with the publisher's selfarchiving policy.
