This paper examines the shift in the relation between the inflation rate and the rate of growth of real output which … possible lines of explanation: a) the new classical view of the output-inflation tradeoff, initially specified by Lucas;b) the … effect of supply-side shocks, such as energy prices; c) the effect of inflation variability on the natural rate of real …

Domestic inflation changes after-tax real interest rates at home and abroad, thereby stimulating international … capital movement and influencing domestic and foreign tax receipts, saving, and investment.
