This paper contributes to a better understanding of how inflation targets are set. First, we gather evidence on how … inflation targets are set from official central bank and government publications and from a questionnaire of our own design …. Second, we estimate the determinants of the level of the inflation target in 19 inflation-targeting countries using …

. Specifically, we estimate a series of simple models to measure the impact of inflation targeting on the dispersion of private … sector forecasts of inflation. Using a panel data set that includes 15 countries over 20 years we find no convincing evidence … that adopting an inflation targeting regime leads to a reduction in the dispersion of private sector forecasts of inflation …

Many central banks release inflation forecasts to reduce uncertainty; at the same time, an increasing number rely on a … publicly stated medium-term inflation target to help anchor expectations.

This paper aims to document how much the release of the forecasts of one major … central bank, the Bank of Japan (BOJ), has influenced private sector expectations of inflation, and whether the degree of … influence depends to any degree on the adoption of an inflation target (IT).

We construct an empirical test of whether the anticipation of adoption of inflation targeting affects the inflation … rate. We observe that most of the central banks adopt the regime after first achieving significant disinflation. With pre-inflation …-in-difference framework.
