We consider the effects of inflation in a small open economy when expenditures on non-durables are more heavily financed with money than expenditures on durables. The distinctions between non-durables and durables, and asymmetric cash-in-advance constraints give rise to important dynamics.

If expenditures on non-durables are more heavily financed with money than expenditures on durables then after an increase in the inflation rate there will be capital deccumulation followed by capital accumulation. Money is superneutral in the long run.

The effect of inflation on the capital stock is considered in an overlapping generations framework with a Cash-in-Advance constraint on consumption expenditures. The adjustment mechanism underlying the model is that of a traditional model with the real balance effect on savings.
