Working Papers from Business School - Economics, University of Glasgow

Abstract: This paper investigates the dynamic interaction between in‡ation and stock returns in four in‡ation targeting countries. We find that following the introduction of formal targets, in‡ation persistence and the magnitude of volatility spillovers between in‡ation and stock returns have been reduced.
