Monetary Overhang and Reforms in the 1940s

No 464, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: The monetary overhang, pervasive with price controls and shortages in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, offers close parallels to the post-1945 picture of Europe. At that time monetary reform was used in many countries, in one form or another, to bring liquid assets in line with the prevailing level of prices. This paper reviews that experience and explores the lessons for today.
