This work analyses a panel of 52 countries from 1990 to 2007 to understand whether the real exchange rate misalignment explains the decrease in world inflation when compared to the adoption by 25 countries of the sample of Inflation Target as the monetary regime. The Ball-Sheridan (2005) model is re-estimated with a new dataset and further extended to incorporate exchange rate fundamentals and misalignment. The adoption of Inflation Targeting is relevant in explaining the inflation convergence to lower levels and confers credibility to the monetary policy of emerging countries. There is no evidence that exchange rate misalignment had any significant effect on world inflation.
