Combating deflation
Article Abstract:
The main cause of global deflationary pressure is insufficient aggregate demand. The measures to combat deflation reveal that government has to raise aggregate demand by implementing expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, altering inflation targets and by changing deflationary expectations. Deflation can also be avoided by reducing the nominal rate of interest.
