Abstract:
It is generally believed that Government's fiscal deficits, only when financed by central bank's new money creation, will be inflationary in nature. In this paper, we demonstrate using a simplified comparative static model based on aggregate money supply, accounting that the inflation impact of fiscal deficits financed through bonds representing commercial banks' credit to the Government can be similar to conventional monetized fiscal deficits. Our framework does not require stable money multiplier and other simplified assumptions pertaining to base money supply. We provide empirical evidence on fiscal deficits significantly affecting inverted broad money demand and thereby supporting our theoretical perspective. The findings emerging from the paper have implications for monetary and fiscal policies.
