Sacrifice Ratios and Inflation Targeting: The Role of Credibility

Two recent papers (Gonçalves and Carvalho, 2009; and Brito, 2010) hold contradictory views regarding the role of inflation targeting during periods of disinflation. The first paper claims that inflation targeting reduces sacrifice ratios¿i.e., the ratio of output losses to the change in trend inflat...
