Abstract
⺠The paper tests the Romer hypothesis that inflation is lower in more open economies. ⺠The positive relation between the traditional index of openness and inflation is not justified. ⺠The negative relation supported by a new and comprehensive index (KOF) is more promising. ⺠The new economic globalization index (KOF) is a better proxy for openness measurement.
