Topic: Inflation <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

Inflation is a stability problem that typically results because the four macro sectors of the economy demand more goods that the economy can produce.

Inflation problems:

  • Future prices become increasingly uncertain.
  • Financial assets like money, bank accounts, stocks and bonds decrease in value with higher prices.
  • Income and wealth are haphazardly redistributed because prices change at different rates.
  • Hyperinflation can reduce production because money becomes almost worthless and people revert to barter exchanges.

The coefficient can be calculated using the simple endpoint or midpoint formulas or with more sophisticated calculus and logarithmic techniques.
