Description: Presenting an analysis of the rise and fall of U.S. inflation after 1960, this book examines two broad explanations for the behaviour of inflation and unemployment in this period: the natural-rate hypothesis joined to the Lucas critique and a more traditional econometric policy evaluation modified to include adaptive expectations and learning. The text begins with an explanation of how American policymakers increased inflation in the early 1960s by following erroneous assumptions about the exploitability of the Phillips curve - the inverse-relationship between inflation and unemployment. In subsequent chapters, it connects a sequence of ideas, such as self-confirming equilibria, least-squares and other adaptive or recursive learning algorithms. The author synthesizes results from macroeconomics, game theory, control theory, and other fields to extend both adaptive expectations and rational expectations theory, and he explains postwar inflation in terms of drifting coefficients. He interprets his results in favour of adaptive expectations as the relevant mechanism affecting inflation policy. This book is intended for academics, graduate students, and professional economists.

Description: Challenging the validity of much of mainstream monetary macroeconomics, Basil Moore argues that the money supply in modern economies is not under the control of central banks, but is not under the control of central banks, but is determined by borrower demand for bank credit. Horizontalists and verticalists then explores the implications of this perception for conventional macroeconomic theory. In his analysis, Moore distinguishes sharply between commodity, fiat, and credit money. he argues that much of mainstream macroeconomic theory is appropriate to a world of commodity or fiat money, but not to contemporary credit money economies. mainstream analysis takes the view that central banks have it in their power to initiate exogenous changes in the nominal supply of money. This 'Verticalist' view maintains that monetary change originates in changes in the high-powered base, which allegedly are under the control of the central bank. The author, in contrast, contends that the supply of credit money is endogenous and responds to changes in the demand for bank credit. Central bank open-market operations affect how required reserves are supplied between borrowed and nonborrowed reserves, rather than the total volume of reserves that is endogenously determined. This 'Horizontalist' view holds that central banks have the ability to set exogenously the supply price of the money market, but not the quantity of credit money. It follows that all models that treat the supply of credit as exogenous are fundamentally misspecified. Conventional views about the forces determining the money supply, national income, interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, and the role of saving are fundamentally in error. Moore concludes that a new macroeconomic paradigm must be developed and attempts to initiate the larger task of theory reconstruction that lies ahead.

Description: Rampant inflation is a major economic problem in many of the less developed countries; two out of three attempts to stabilize these economies fail. Inflation Stabilization provides a valuable description and a critical analysis of the disinflation programs introduced in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Israel in 1985-86, and discusses the possibility of such a program in Mexico. It documents the initial steps in stabilization as well as the reasons for failure.
As architects of the programs, several of the authors are in key positions to assess which aspects were critical in getting the programs accepted and where to look for difficulties and failures.
In Israel, inflation was halted without recession. The challenge to policy makers today is in shifting from stabilization to the revival of sustained growth. This experience is described fully by Michael Bruno and Sylvia Piterman, who examine the critical issue of exchange rates, and by Alex Cukierman, who uses modeling to analyze the interaction of money, wages, prices, and activity under rational expectations that take the government's policy objectives into account.
Endemic inflation and a sudden increase in external debt burden Argentina's economy, raising the wider issues of high inflation economies and stabilization that are discussed in the chapter by José Luis Machinea and that by Guido Di Tella and Alfredo Canavese.
Eduardo Modiano and Mario Simonsen take up issues of wages in Brazil, particularly the problem of finding an equitable way to deal with a wage freeze; Simonsen develops an ambitious game theoretic rationalization of incomes policy as a coordinating device for imperfectly competitive economies.
Bolivia did reach hyperinflation (price increases of more than 50 percent each month) before stabilizing. Juan Antonio Morales shows how stabilizing the exchange rate, in an economy where all pricing was already geared to the dollar, achieved stabilization without a wage or price freeze. And Francisco Gil Diaz asks whether an incomes-policy based program could work to control ever increasing inflation in Mexico.
Michael Bruno is Governor of the Bank of Israel; Guido Di Tella is a Fellow of St. Anthony's College, a Professor at the Di Tella Institute in Buenos Aires, and a Member of Parliament in Argentina; Stanley Fischer is Vice President of Development Economics and Chief Economist at the World Bank. Rudiger Dornbusch is Ford International Professor of Economics at MIT.

Description: This volume contains articles on the subject of inflation, most of which originally appeared in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's Economic Review. Collectively the articles summarize the major issues current in contemporary discussions of the inflation problem. Topics covered include theories of inflation, reasons for its persistence, models of the inflationary transmission mechanism, the relationship between inflation and unemployment, the formulation of inflationary expectations, inflation and the demand for money, interest rates and inflation, international aspects of inflation under fixed and floating exchange rates, and the feasibility of alternative anti-inflationary policies. These topics are examined from the perspective of the history of economic doctrines as well as from that of modern economic analysis. The purpose is to indicate the basic similarities in classical and current analyses of inflation and to demonstrate that virtually all of the ideas, arguments, and policy views underlying modern inflation debates have their roots in earlier policy controversies. In this connection, the collection incorporates additional essays dealing with the monetarist-nonmonetarist debate, the exchange rate doctrines of early monetary theorists, the historical evolution of the money demand concept, and the policy lessons of the German hyperinflation. Finally, because inflation is primarily a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it cannot long continue without the monetary growth necessary to sustain it, this volume emphasizes inflation theories that highlight the relationship between money and prices and that strongly support a policy of strong, noninflationary growth. Additional essays deal with Keynes' views on inflation, with Adam Smith's theory of the international adjustment mechanism, with a terms-of-trade-augmented model of the monetary approach to exchange rates, with David Hume's and Henry Thornton's reconciliation of the quantity theory of money with the notion of a stable long-run trade-off between unemployment and inflation, with the early history of the Fisherian distinction between real and nominal interest rates, with the classical conception of the duties of the lender of last resort, and with the anti-growth views prevalent in the early 1970s. These topics are also examined from a monetarist doctrinal/historical position. There are articles on the Phillips curve, the MV = PQ equation of exchange, and the notion of the short-run nonneutrality of money. The text shows how these tools have been employed in inflation analysis, past and present.
