“…With respect to inflation and growth, the BOR classification produces similar results to the IMF classification (Bleaney and Francisco, 2005). Levy-Yeyati and Sturzenegger (2005) [LYS] use cluster analysis to generate one observation per calendar year, based on three variables: the volatility of the nominal exchange rate level against the identified anchor currency (average absolute monthly percentage change), the volatility of exchange rate changes (standard deviation of monthly percentage changes), and the volatility of foreign exchange reserves (average absolute monthly percentage change in net dollar international reserves relative to the dollar value of the monetary base in the previous month).…”

“…In both cases, giving up a sovereign currency has a negative, significant impact on inflation. Bleaney and Francisco (2005) investigate the impact of fixed exchange rates on inflation by dividing regimes into three categories: hard pegs, which include currency unions and currency boards, soft pegs, and floats. The authors find that soft pegs have no impact once other factors are controlled for, but hard pegs exert a negative, significant impact on inflation.…”

“…Fixed exchange rates are suggested as one possible way to restrain the price level and "import" macroeconomic stability. And a number of studies, such as Magendzo (2003a, 2003b), Bleaney and Fielding (2002), Ghosh et al (2000Ghosh et al ( , 2002, McKinnon and Schnabl (2004) and Bleaney and Francisco (2005) have found evidence that exchange rate rigidity has a negative impact on inflation.…”
