متن کاملInflation, Output and Welfare
This paper studies the effects of anticipated inflation on aggregate output and welfare within a search-theoretic framework. We allow money-holders to choose the intensities with which they search for trading partners, so inflation affects the frequency of trade as well as the quantity of output produced in each trade. We consider the standard pricing mechanism for search models, i.e., ex post ...

We first use the long-horizon regression approach developed by Fisher and Seater (1993) to obtain an estimate of the inflation rate elasticity of money demand and then the Baily’s consumer surplus approach to calculate the welfare cost function. The results show that reducing inflation rate from 40% to 0% increases ...

Its results have relevance for both search theory and macroeconomics. In particular, it provides a foundation for the conventional wisdom linking higher inflation, through increased price dispersion, to ...

We find that lowering inflation from 2% to 1% improves welfare and that the welfare gain is ev...
