We empirically study the impact of inflation targeting credibility on business cycle synchronization with G-7 economies …. To do this, we use a sample of 15 inflation targeting countries to develop and calculate a reputation-based credibility … findings indicate that greater credibility allows for greater anchoring of inflation expectations by economic agents. This …

This paper empirically analyzes whether and to what extent the adoption of inflation targeting (IT) in Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines has affected their business cycle synchronization with the rest of the world. By employing the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model...
