IT adoption promotes convergence in forecast errors, suggesting that it enhances transparency. This effect is robust to dropping observations, is strengthened by using instrumental variable estimation to eliminate mean-reversion, and is absent in placebo regressions (where IT adoption is shifted by a year). This result supports Morris and Shin's (2002) contention that better public information is most beneficial for forecasters with bad private information. However, it does not support their hypothesis that better public information could make private forecasts less accurate. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/06/289. 606 $aAnti-inflationary policies$xEconometric models 606 $aInflation (Finance)$xForecasting$xEconometric models 615 0$aAnti-inflationary policies$xEconometric models. 615 0$aInflation (Finance)$xForecasting$xEconometric models. 700 $aCrowe$b Christopher$g(Christopher W.)$0868737 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bResearch Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809281503321 996 $aTesting the Transparency Benefits of Inflation Targeting$93969127 997 $aUNINA
