Inflation targeting framework has become a predominant monetary approach across the globe. Williams (2015) believes that in a very real sense, almost all economies are inflation targeters -either explicit or implicit- now.(1) Due to the increasing spread of this policy, it is necessary to consider the way it affects macroeconomic variables. using prevalent economic models for evaluating the eff...

In the 1990s, several countries shifted to a new monetary policy regime: an announced quantitative inflation target. The reason for this shift was the unsatisfactory performance under previous regimes. New Zealand, Canada, Australia, and Spain all introduced inflation targets under persistently high inflation; the United Kingdom, Sweden, and Finland did so after having abandoned fixed exchange ...

A number of authors have developed varied indices for measuring central bank independence with the aim of determining whether there is any association between central bank independence and inflation rates. Most analyses focused on industrialized countries, although more recently the interest has shifted to the emerging and less developed countries. The general trust of the results of these stud...

Finding a monetary regime that can deliver some form of price stability, as well as satisfactory economic performance, always has been explained more convincingly in theory than in practice. Consequently, governments have, over time, experimented with policies ranging from some metallic standard (for example, gold, silver, or bimetallic) to various forms of exchange rate pegging (for example, B...

On 21–22 July 1997, the Bank convened a conference entitled, 'Monetary Policy and Inflation Targeting'. The following excer pt is the introductory chapter of the conference volume. Medium-term price stability is widely accepted as the appropriate ultimate goal for monetary policy. This reflects two ideas. The first is that high rates of inflation distort decision-making, ultimately leading to s...

in literature about inflation targeting, main factor is interest rate. in new surveys, price of some assets as housing is important in inflation targeting. iran inflation targeting is based on money changes and is not based on interest rate and housing price. in this paper, we want to survey problems of wrong policy of iran policy makers. we reveal that, using rate of deposit profit and growth ...

We apply propensity score matching estimators with multiple outcomes to evaluate the impacts of exchange rate regimes (fixed, intermediate, and flexible without inflation targeting) and inflation targeting on inflation rates in emerging and developing countries. An inflation-targeting regime does better than or at least as good work as a fixed regime in lowering inflation rates when compared wi...

the subject of monetary policy orientation and tailoring a framework within which the credibility and desirability of the policies and the policy makers is enhanced, while the most important goal of policies, i.e reaching to and preserving a low and stable inflation rate is achieved, has recently been a controversial issue for a large number of economists. in fact the necessity arised since the...

inflation forecasting has been one of the requirements for the implementation of monetary policy in countries which their monetary authorities are pursuing inflation targeting regime. however, owing to central bank independence in one hand and as well as the lagged effects of monetary policies on inflation in the other, the monetary authorities should have the sound perspective about the future...

Guy Debelle’s paper makes a strong case for the adoption of an inflation-targeting framework by east Asian countries. This is in stark contrast to the conclusion reached by Masson, Savastano and Sharma (1997), who claim that for most developing countries, inflation targeting is not suitable because central banks lack the ability to conduct an independent monetary policy, their inflation forecas...
