In most monetary models of economic growth, higher long-run inflation is associated with a decline in the growth rate …-sector model of Jones and Manuelli (1995). With the standard cash-in-advance constraint on consumption, higher inflation results in …

We introduce an approach for the empirical study of the quantity theory of money (QTM) that is novel both with respect … directly on the relationship between the rate of change of the money stock and inflation. We believe that this is an inferior … instrument for the long-run control of inflation. An important finding that contradicts all of the previous literature is that …
