Using a methodology introduced by Pesaran (2007a), we examine the stationarity properties of the inflation differentials. This approach has the advantage of avoiding setting arbitrarily a specific country as the benchmark economy. Our results indicate that the inflation rates converge irrespective of the monetary policy framework. © 2014 Elsevier B.V." }
