A high inflation process is usually due to a real imbalance and cannot be cured without a correction of real furamenta1s. Yet it can be characterized as a quasi-stable nominal process which gets divorced from the real system in what Patinkin could call a valid classical dichotomy. This paper...

The negative growth-inflation association in the existing literature is usually interpreted as a long-run relationship. But the existing literature on inflation and growth has a puzzling anomaly: there is little evidence of a relationship with low-frequency (30-year) data, but inflation and...

Recent literature suggests that long-run averages of growth and inflation are only weakly correlated and such correlation is not robust to exclusion of extreme inflation observations; inclusion of time series panel data has improved matters, but an aggregate parametric approach remains...
