Book Synopsis Inflation and Disinflation by : Leonardo Leiderman
Download or read book Inflation and Disinflation written by Leonardo Leiderman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-07-15 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early 1980s, Israel's inflation rate rose to almost 500% per year—one of the highest inflation rates in the developed world. In 1985, the Israeli government implemented a program that immediately reduced inflation to 15%-20%, where it remained for the rest of the decade. How did the economy deal with these major changes so rapidly and successfully? In these eighteen articles, Leonardo Leiderman discusses why the Israeli plan worked and considers how other countries might benefit from similar policies. Even though standard economic models predict that output will drop and unemployment will rise during disinflation, Israel saw a boom in private consumption and large increases in real wages that lasted for about three years. To understand how the effects of Israeli disinflation policies defied typical expectations, Leiderman investigates how monetary fiscal policy determined Israel's runaway inflation and how the country brought its economy abruptly under control. He finds that rates of inflation and consumption depend on the public's expectations about future fiscal adjustments and that foreign trade shocks do not inevitably lead to a long-term rise in the inflation rate. His illumination of international trade and domestic policies, past and present, will interest academic economists and policymakers alike.
Book Synopsis Disinflation in Transition by : Mr.Carlo Cottarelli
Download or read book Disinflation in Transition written by Mr.Carlo Cottarelli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-08-23 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest in a series of papers published by the International Monetary Fund on economies in transition examines the experience of disinflation in Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltics, Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet Union between 1993 and 1997. The paper reviews the economic policies underlying the dramatic drop in inflation during those years as well as other variables that facilitated the disinflation and notes that the adjustment of fiscal fundamentals as the driving force behind the disinflation, while nominal anchoring arrangements played a less prominent role. This was contrary to developments in countries, for example, in Latin America, that had experienced high inflation for a long period of time.
Book Synopsis Reducing Inflation by : Christina D. Romer
Download or read book Reducing Inflation written by Christina D. Romer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is ample evidence that high inflation is harmful, little is known about how best to reduce inflation or how far it should be reduced. In this volume, sixteen distinguished economists analyze the appropriateness of low inflation as a goal for monetary policy and discuss possible strategies for reducing inflation. Section I discusses the consequences of inflation. These papers analyze inflation's impact on the tax system, labor market flexibility, equilibrium unemployment, and the public's sense of well-being. Section II considers the obstacles facing central bankers in achieving low inflation. These papers study the precision of estimates of equilibrium unemployment, the sources of the high inflation of the 1970s, and the use of non-traditional indicators in policy formation. The papers in section III consider how institutions can be designed to promote successful monetary policy, and the importance of institutions to the performance of policy in the United States, Germany, and other countries. This timely volume should be read by anyone who studies or conducts monetary policy.
Book Synopsis The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve by : Robert L. Hetzel
Download or read book The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve written by Robert L. Hetzel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-17 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Details the evolution of the monetary standard from the start of the Federal Reserve through the end of the Greenspan era. The book places that evolution in the context of the intellectual and political environment of the time. By understanding the fitful process of replacing a gold standard with a paper money standard, the conduct of monetary policy becomes a series of experiments useful for understanding the fundamental issues concerning money and prices. How did the recurrent monetary instability of the 20th century relate to the economic instability and to the associated political and social turbulence? After the detour in policy represented by FOMC chairmen Arthur Burns and G. William Miller, Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan established the monetary standard originally foreshadowed by William McChesney Martin, who became chairman in 1951. The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve explains in a straightforward way the emergence and nature of the modern, inflation-targeting central bank.

Book Synopsis Disinflation and the Recession-Now-Versus-Recession-Later Hypothesis by : Mr.Alexander W. Hoffmaister
Download or read book Disinflation and the Recession-Now-Versus-Recession-Later Hypothesis written by Mr.Alexander W. Hoffmaister and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1995-10-01 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both analytical models and casual empiricism suggest that the timing of the recessionary costs associated with inflation stabilization in chronic inflation countries may depend on the nominal anchor which is used. Under money-based stabilization, the recession occurs at the beginning of the program, while under exchange rate-based stabilization the recession occurs later in the program. This paper provides a first attempt to formally test this hypothesis using a vector-autoregression model for Uruguay. The impulse response of output to different stabilization policies is broadly consistent with the “recession-now-versus-recession-later” hypothesis. The evidence also suggests, however, that the effectiveness of a monetary anchor in reducing inflation is hindered by the high degree of dollarization of the Uruguayan economy.

Book Synopsis Models of Inflation and the Costs of Disinflation by : Mr.Bankim Chadha
Download or read book Models of Inflation and the Costs of Disinflation written by Mr.Bankim Chadha and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1991-10-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the output costs of disinflation. A model of inflation with both forward and backward elements seems to characterize reality. Such an inflation model is estimated using data for industrial countries, and the output costs of a disinflation path are calculated, first analytically in a simple theoretical model, then by simulation of a global, multi-region empirical model. The credibility of a preannounced path for money consistent with the lowest output loss is considered. An alternative, more credible policy may be to announce an exchange rate peg to a low inflation currency.
Book Synopsis Supply-Side Effects of Disinflation Programs by : Mr.Jorge Roldos
Download or read book Supply-Side Effects of Disinflation Programs written by Mr.Jorge Roldos and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-07-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the short-run and long-run supply-side effects of disinflation programs in a two-sector economy. Fixing the exchange rate reduces the wedge between the return on foreign assets and that on domestic capital, leading to an increase in the latter. After an initial real exchange rate appreciation and increase in the production of nontradables—due to a consumption boom—the new capital is gradually installed in the tradable sector. During this transitional period, further real appreciation takes place—as the expansion of the tradable sector pulls labor away from the nontradable sector—together with investment-driven deficits in the current account. We conclude that when appreciation and deficits are due to supply-side rigidities, rather than to credibility and/or price stickiness, no further policies (i.e., capital controls, incomes policies) are advisable.

Book Synopsis Inflation, Disinflation, and Growth by : Mr.Atish R. Ghosh
Download or read book Inflation, Disinflation, and Growth written by Mr.Atish R. Ghosh and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-05-01 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although few would doubt that very high inflation is bad for growth, there is much less agreement about moderate inflation’s effects. Using panel regressions and a nonlinear specification, this paper finds a statistically and economically significant negative relationship between inflation and growth. This relationship holds at all but the lowest inflation rates and is robust across various samples and specifications. The method of binary recursive trees identifies inflation as one the most important statistical determinants of growth. Finally, while there are short-run growth costs of disinflation, these are only relevant for the most severe disinflations, or when the initial inflation rate is well within the single-digit range.

Book Synopsis What is Responsible for India’s Sharp Disinflation? by : Sajjid Chinoy
Download or read book What is Responsible for India’s Sharp Disinflation? written by Sajjid Chinoy and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-08-08 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze the dramatic decline in India’s inflation over the last two years using an augmented Phillips Curve approach and quantify the role of different factors. Our results suggest that, contrary to popular perception, the direct role of lower oil prices in India’s disinflation was relatively modest given the limited pass-through into domestic prices. Instead, we find that inflation is a highly persistent process in India, reflecting very adaptive expectations and the backward looking nature of wage and support price-setting. As a consequence, we find that a moderation of expectations, both backward and forward, and a rationalization of Minimum Support Prices (MSPs), explain the bulk of the disinflation over the last two years.
Book Synopsis Disinflation in Spain by : Mr.Nicolas Sobczak
Download or read book Disinflation in Spain written by Mr.Nicolas Sobczak and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-08-01 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the causes of the recent disinflation in Spain. A standard Phillips curve model is used to disentangle the contributions of three possible shocks: an adverse demand shock that raises unemployment, a positive supply shock resulting from relative price adjustments or structural improvements in the labor market, and a credibility shock that lowers inflationary expectations. The main element underlying Spain’s recent disinflation appears to be a fall in inflation expectations, thanks to the country’s commitment to participate in Economic and Monetary Union from the start, and policy actions geared to that end.
Book Synopsis Credibility Dynamics and Disinflation Plans by : Rumen Kostadinov
Download or read book Credibility Dynamics and Disinflation Plans written by Rumen Kostadinov and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-06-05 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the optimal design of a disinflation plan by a planner who lacks commitment. Having announced a plan, the Central banker faces a tradeoff between surprise inflation and building reputation, defined as the private sector's belief that the Central bank is committed to the plan. Some plans are harder to sustain: the planner recognizes that paving out future grounds with temptation leads the way for a negative drift of reputation in equilibrium. Plans that successfully create low inflationary expectations balance promises of lower inflation with dynamic incentives that make them more credible. When announcing the disinflation plan, the planner takes into account these anticipated interactions. We find that, even in the zero reputation limit, a gradual disinflation is preferred despite the absence of inflation inertia in the private economy.
