Abstract

The paper develops a model for the analysisof high inlfation phenomena. A central feature in of the model is the joint determination ofthe long­run steady­state rateofinlfation andofthe short­run dynamic processofinlfation. The model includes a formal structure that is based on a simple, but powerful theorem: for a non­stationary (unitroot) inflationary process a price level shock eventually translates into a higher steady state rate of inflation which equals the ratio of the shock to the mean lag of inflation. The econometric approach is based on the apparent non­-stationary behavior of the rates of change of the nominal variables in high inflation countries (prices, wages, exchange­-rate and money). An application for the inflationary process in Israel during 1964-­1993 is presented.
