Journal Articles, 2015, 37-46

Abstract: The aim of this research is to assess the convergence rate of the inflation in European Union 28 (EU-28) and to evaluate the impact of recent economic crisis on the convergence process in inflation. Therefore, a panel data approach was used, the unit root tests for stationary indicating enough evidence for convergence in the period from 2002 to 2013. However, a decline in the convergence process was observed during the economic crisis(2008-2013) compared to the previous period of the same length (2002-2007), the convergence rate decreasing with 3.98 percentage points.
