The feasibility of low inflation: theory with an application to the argentine case

Ricardo López Murphy and Federico Sturzenegger

Journal of Economic Policy Reform, 1996, vol. 1, issue 1, 47-73

Abstract: In this paper we review the Argentine experience of hyperinflation, concentrating on understanding why stabilization took so long, and was only implemented by the most unlikely candidate. To explain these facts we present a voting model in which politicians' actions transmit information about the state of the economy and thus shape voters' behavior. We discuss the implications of the model for countries which are going through the same instability that characterized Argentina in the late 80s.
