Inflation and the Transition to a Mixed Economy: Can It Work?

A Heesterman

Economic Change and Restructuring, 1991, vol. 24, issue 2, 135-49

Abstract: This paper reviews a number of possible scenarios for introducing a market element into a centrally planned economy, and analyzes the financial relationships between the planned and the market sectors of the resulting mixed economy. It is argued that repressed inflation with some degree of excess demand and administrative price-control, is not neutral, but has distributional effects which greatly ameliorate the financial position of the state in a mixed economy in which the banking sector is still part of the state-controlled sector.
