The new structuralist critique of the monetarist theory of inflation : the case of the Philippines
Joseph Lim
Monetary and credit contraction, espoused by monetarists as a key policy for controlling inflation, will increase the cost of financing working capital needs. This has an immediate short-run stagflationary impact coming from the supply side of the economy. This study uses a one-sector macro model to test this hypothesis on the Philippines with annual data from 1958 to 1980. (DSE)
