Abstract

This article estimates the welfare cost of inflation in India using the time-varying interest semi-elasticity from the money demand schedule. The estimated interest semi-elasticity and the welfare cost of inflation for India show variation over time. The result suggests increasing welfare cost of inflation for Indian economy in recent times.
