Classical Deflation Theory

Classical Deflation Theory

D eflation, the opposite of inflation, is a situation of falling general prices. It should not be confused with disinflation, which refers to a declining inflation rate that nevertheless remains positive. It was the successful U.S. disinflation of the 1990s, a disinflation that lowered the inflation rate sufficiently to create concern that further downward pressure might push it into negative t...

Deflation-activated receptors, not classical inflation-activated receptors, mediate the Hering-Breuer deflation reflex.

Many airway sensory units respond to both lung inflation and deflation. Whether those responses to opposite stimuli come from one sensor (one-sensor theory) or more than one sensor (multiple-sensor theory) is debatable. One-sensor theory is commonly presumed in the literature. This article proposes a multiple-sensor theory in which a sensory unit contains different sensors for sensing different...

Lessons from the Debt - Deflation Theory of Sudden Stops

The " Sudden Stop " phenomenon of the recurrent emerging markets crises of the last ten years is one of the key questions facing International Macroeconomics. Sudden Stops are defined by unusually large recessions marked by: sharp, abrupt current account reversals, large contractions in output and absorption, and collapses in goods and asset prices. In Mexico's 1995 Sudden Stop, for example, th...
