Inflation, taxation, and log-run growth
Article Abstract:
A study examining how expected inflation levels affects capital accumulation rates and capital productivity levels, suggests that there is a significant impact on growth. Businesses over-economize on holdings of money, while households are less willing to supply labour. A cut of 50% in inflation levels for 1950-1985 would have resulted in a rise of at least 25% in national income growth in per capita terms. Inefficient taxation tends to be linked to high inflation, and there is thus a need to reform the tax system.
