We study the price rigidity of regular and sale prices, and how it is affected by pricing formats (i.e., pricing strategies). We use data from three large Canadian stores with different pricing formats (Every-Day-Low-Price, Hi-Lo, and Hybrid) that are located within a 1 km radius of each other....

Macroeconomic theory postulates that fiscal deficits cause inflation. Yet empirical research has had limited success in … incorporates two key features of the theory. Unlike previous studies, we model inflation as nonlinearly related to fiscal deficits … through the inflation tax base and estimate this relationship as intrinsically dynamic, using panel techniques that explicitly …

Threshold inflation that maximizes long-term growth in an economy is dependent on fiscal deficit (FD) and current … account deficit (CAD). Since the existing empirical literature on threshold inflation lacks a robust theoretical framework …, the present study considers the theory developed by Dholakia (2020) to estimate threshold inflation that maximizes steady …
