We examine whether adopting an inflation-targeting regime helps reduce sovereign risk premia in a sample of 64 advanced and developing countries for the period 1985–2012. We address the self-selection problem of policy adoption by applying a variety of propensity score matching methods. The results provide evidence that inflation targeting lowers sovereign risk.
