Abstract
A number of studies have found that more flexible exchange rate regimes (ERRs) tend to be associated with greater inflation persistence. In this paper we investigate whether that proposition applied in the case of Vietnam over the period 1992-2010. Following an approach similar to that of Alogoskoufis and Smith (1991) and Huang and Gu (2007), we found no evidence that inflation persistence in Vietnam was systematically higher under more flexible ERRs than under more rigid ERRs. Indeed, rolling regressions suggested that inflation persistence reached its highest level in the sub-period 2004 to 2007, which can be characterized as a hard-peg regime.
