The cost of disinflation and the European Monetary System

Open Economies Review, 1990, vol. 1, issue 2, 147-173

Abstract: In this paper we present empirical evidence indicating that the EMS-countries have experienced a worsening of their inflation/unemployment trade-off during 1978–88, which on average was more pronounced than in the rest of the OECD-area. We explain this evidence by unfavorable labor market institutions in the EMS-countries, and by the nature of the deflationary policies which these countries have followed.
