In this book Vincent Parkin sets out to explain the nature and causes of chronic inflation in such economies by focusing on the Brazilian experience since 1964. A theoretical model is developed to show how structural bottlenecks and cost-push pressures can lead to continuous inflation. The model, incorporating as it does stocks and flows of financial assets, forms a bridge between structuralist explanations for inflation, that have tended to abstract from money and finance, and purely monetary explanations. Book Description: In this book, originally published in 1991, Vincent Parkin sets out to explain the nature and causes of chronic inflation in middle-income developing countries by focusing on the Brazilian experience. The book will be of interest to all economists concerned with inflation and Latin America. |
