than on durable goods and more on price increases than on price decreases 68 on the other hand different people have different shopping baskets and hence face different inflation rates 68 consumer

effect can impact the perception of inflation 70 inflation expectations edit inflation expectations or expected inflation is the rate of inflation that is anticipated for some time in the foreseeable future there are two major approaches to modeling the formation of inflation expectations adaptive expectations models them as a weighted average of what was expected one period earlier and the actual rate of inflation that most recently occurred rational expectations models them as unbiased in the sense that the expected inflation rate is not systematically above or systematically below the inflation rate that actually occurs a long standing survey of inflation expectations is the university of michigan survey 71 inflation expectations affect the economy in several ways they are more or less built into nominal interest rates so that a rise or fall in the expected inflation rate will typically result in a rise or fall in nominal interest rates giving a smaller effect if any on real interest rates in addition higher expected inflation tends to be built into the rate of wage increases giving a smaller effect if any on the changes in real wages moreover the response of inflationary expectations to monetary policy can influence the division of the effects of policy between inflation and unemployment see monetary policy credibility causes edit this section may be in need of

historical approaches edit theories of the origin and causes of inflation have existed since at least the 16th century two competing theories the quantity theory of money and the real bills doctrine appeared in various guises during century long debates on recommended central bank behaviour in the 20th century keynesian monetarist and new classical also known as rational expectations views on inflation dominated post world war ii macroeconomics discussions which were often heated intellectual debates until some kind of synthesis of the various theories was reached by the end of the century before 1936 edit main article real bills doctrine the price revolution from ca 1550 1700 caused several thinkers to present what is now considered to be early formulations of the quantity theory of money qtm other contemporary authors attributed rising price levels to the debasement of national coinages later research has shown that also growing output of central european silver mines and an increase in the velocity of money because of innovations in the payment technology in particular the increased use of bills of exchange contributed to the price revolution 72 an alternative theory the real bills doctrine rbd originated in the 17th and 18th century receiving its first authoritative exposition in adam smith s the wealth of nations 73 it asserts that banks should issue their money in exchange for short term real bills of adequate value as long as banks only issue a dollar in exchange for assets worth at least a dollar the issuing bank s assets will naturally move in step with its issuance of money and the money will hold its value should the bank fail to get or maintain assets of adequate value then the bank s money will lose value just as any financial security will lose value if its asset backing diminishes the real bills doctrine also known as the backing theory thus asserts that inflation results when money outruns its issuer s assets the quantity theory of money in contrast claims that inflation results when money outruns the economy s production of goods during the 19th century three different schools debated these questions the british currency school upheld a quantity theory view believing that the bank of england s issues of bank notes should vary one for one with the bank s gold reserves in contrast to this the british banking school followed the real bills doctrine recommending that the bank s operations should be governed by the needs of trade banks should be able to issue currency against bills of trading i e real bills that they buy from merchants a third group the free banking school held that competitive private banks would not overissue even though a monopolist central bank could be believed to do it 74 the debate between currency or quantity theory and banking schools during the 19th century prefigures current questions about the credibility of money in the present in the 19th century the banking schools had greater influence in policy in the united states and great britain while the currency schools had more influence on the continent that is in non british countries particularly in the latin monetary union and the scandinavian monetary union during the bullionist controversy during the napoleonic wars david ricardo argued that the bank of england had engaged in over issue of bank notes leading to commodity price increases in the late 19th century supporters of the quantity theory of money led by irving fisher debated with supporters of bimetallism later knut wicksell sought to explain price movements as the result of real shocks rather than movements in money supply resounding statements from the real bills doctrine 72 in 2019 monetary historians thomas m humphrey and richard timberlake published gold the real bills doctrine and the fed sources of monetary disorder 1922 1938 75 keynes and the early keynesians edit further information keynesian revolution further information keynes s theory of wages and prices john maynard keynes in his 1936 main work the general theory of employment interest and money emphasized that wages and prices were sticky in the short run but gradually responded to aggregate demand shocks these could arise from many different sources e g autonomous movements in investment or fluctuations in private wealth or interest rates 26 economic policy could also affect demand monetary policy by affecting interest rates and fiscal policy either directly through the level of government final consumption expenditure or indirectly by changing disposable income via tax changes the various sources of variations in aggregate demand will cause cycles in both output and price levels initially a demand change will primarily affect output because of the price stickiness but eventually prices and wages will adjust to reflect the change in demand consequently movements in real output and prices will be positively but not strongly correlated 26 keynes propositions formed the basis of keynesian economics which came to dominate macroeconomic research and economic policy in the first decades after world war ii 12 526 other keynesian economists developed and reformed several of keynes ideas importantly alban william phillips in 1958 published indirect evidence of a negative relation between inflation and unemployment confirming the keynesian emphasis on a positive correlation between increases in real output normally accompanied by a fall in unemployment and rising prices i e inflation phillips findings were confirmed by other empirical analyses and became known as a phillips curve it quickly became central to macroeconomic thinking apparently offering a stable trade off between price stability and employment the curve was interpreted to imply that a country could achieve low unemployment if it were willing to tolerate a higher inflation rate or vice versa 12 173 the phillips curve model described the u s experience well in the 1960s but failed to describe the stagflation experienced in the 1970s monetarism edit inflation deflation m2 money supply increases year year inflation and the growth of money supply m2 further information monetarism during the 1960s the keynesian view of inflation and macroeconomic policy altogether were challenged by monetarist theories led by milton friedman 12 528 529 friedman famously stated that inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon 76 he revived the quantity theory of money by irving fisher and others making it into a central tenet of monetarist thinking arguing that the most significant factor influencing inflation or deflation is how fast the money supply grows or shrinks 77 the quantity theory of money simply stated says that any change in the amount of money in a system will change the price level this theory begins with the equation of exchange m v p q displaystyle mv pq where m displaystyle m is the nominal quantity of money v displaystyle v is the velocity of money in final expenditures p displaystyle p is the general price level q displaystyle q is an index of the real value of final expenditures in this formula the general price level is related to the level of real economic activity q the quantity of money m and the velocity of money v the formula itself is simply an uncontroversial accounting identity because the velocity of money v is defined residually from the equation to be the ratio of final nominal expenditure p q displaystyle pq to the quantity of money m 11 81 107 monetarists assumed additionally that the velocity of money is unaffected by monetary policy at least in the long run that the real value of output is also exogenous in the long run its long run value being determined independently by the productive capacity of the economy and that money supply is exogenous and can be controlled by the monetary authorities under these assumptions the primary driver of the change in the general price level is changes in the quantity of money 11 81 107 consequently monetarists contended that monetary policy not fiscal policy was the most potent instrument to influence aggregate demand real output and eventually inflation this was contrary to keynesian thinking which in principle recognized a role for monetary policy but in practice believed that the effect from interest rate changes to the real economy was slight making monetary policy an ineffective instrument preferring fiscal policy 12 528 conversely monetarists considered fiscal policy or government spending and taxation as ineffective in controlling inflation 77 friedman also took issue with the traditional keynesian view concerning the phillips curve he together with edmund phelps contended that the trade off between inflation and unemployment implied by the phillips curve was only temporary but not permanent if politicians tried to exploit it it would eventually disappear because higher inflation would over time be built into the economic expectations of households and firms 12 528 529 this line of thinking led to the concept of potential output sometimes called the natural gross domestic product a level of gdp where the economy is stable in the sense that inflation will neither decrease nor increase this level may itself change over time when institutional or natural constraints change it corresponds to the non accelerating inflation rate of unemployment nairu or the natural rate of unemployment sometimes called the structural level of unemployment 12 if gdp exceeds its potential and unemployment consequently is below the nairu the theory says that inflation will accelerate as suppliers increase their prices if gdp falls below its potential level and unemployment is above the nairu inflation will decelerate as suppliers attempt to fill excess capacity cutting prices and undermining inflation 78 rational expectations theory edit further information rational expectations in the early 1970s rational expectations theory led by economists like robert lucas thomas sargent and robert barro transformed macroeconomic thinking radically they held that economic actors look rationally into the future when trying to maximize their well being and do not respond solely to immediate opportunity costs and pressures 12 529 530 in this view future expectations and strategies are important for inflation as well one implication was that agents would anticipate the likely behaviour of central banks and base their own actions on these expectations a central bank having a reputation of being soft on inflation will generate high inflation expectations which again will be self fulfilling when all agents build expectations of future high inflation into their nominal contracts like wage agreements on the other hand if the central bank has a reputation of being tough on inflation then such a policy announcement will be believed and inflationary expectations will come down rapidly thus allowing inflation itself to come down rapidly with minimal economic disruption the implication is that credibility becomes very important for central banks in fighting inflation 12 467 469 new keynesians edit events during the 1970s proved milton friedman and other critics of the traditional phillips curve right the relation between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate broke down eventually a consensus was established that the break down was due to agents changing their inflation expectations confirming friedman s theory as a consequence the notion of a natural rate of unemployment alternatively called the structural rate of unemployment was accepted by most economists meaning that there is a specific level of unemployment that is compatible with stable inflation stabilization policy must therefore try to steer economic activity so that the actual unemployment rate converges towards that level 12 176 189 the trade off between the unemployment rate and inflation implied by phillips thus holds in the short term but not in the long term 79 also the oil crises of the 1970s causing at the same time rising unemployment and rising inflation i e stagflation led to a broad recognition by economists that supply shocks could independently affect inflation 26 12 529 during the 1980s a group of researchers named new keynesians emerged who accepted many originally non keynesian concepts like the importance of monetary policy the existence of a natural level of unemployment and the incorporation of rational expectations formation as a reasonable benchmark at the same time they believed like keynes did that various market imperfections in different markets like labour markets and financial markets were also important to study to understand both inflation generation and business cycles 12 533 534 during the 1980s and 1990s there were often heated intellectual debates between new keynesians and new classicals but...
