Abstract: This paper investigates whether inflation in developing countries is driven by retrogression in productivity or by monetary expansion. Our empirical methodology relies on growth accounting, non-parametric and generalized method of moment techniques. Results indicate that inflation is primarily driven by monetary growth.
