Abstract

For an inflation targeting Central Bank, a precise estimate of the threshold inflation in the economy is important. Existing studies provide estimates without any coherent theory of growth and threshold inflation and hence suffer from several limitations about concept and measurement. The presentation attempts to develop such a theory to establish a stable steady state growth solution. It also operationalises the theory through a model with support from the Indian data for specific components of the model to derive the required functional form. Now that there is an opportunity to revise the inflation target for the period after March 2021, the presentation argues for choosing from the menu of internally consistent options to avoid unnecessary costs.

Seventeenth Global Studies Conference – Global Studies Research Network and Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland ABOUT US Founded in 2011, the Global Studies Research Network is devoted to mapping and interpreting past and emerging trends and patterns in globalization. We aim to traverse a broad terrain, sometimes technically and other times socially oriented, sometimes theoretical and other times practical in their perspective, and sometimes reflecting dispassionate analysis while at other times suggesting interested strategies for action. Our aim is to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. https://onglobalization.com/about -------- CALL FOR PAPERS https://onglobalization.com/2024-conference/call-for-papers Place: Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland and Online Format: A mix of live, pre-recorded, and in person (at scale that's allowed) presentations and social interaction spaces.
