    Abstract

    A partir de mediados de los 80 se aprecia una caída importante en la inflación en las economías industrializadas, proceso que más tarde se extiende a numerosos países en desarrollo. Este proceso se produce en un contexto intelectual donde se aprecia la influencia de ideas como “la hipótesis de la tasa natural”, la importancia de las “expectativas racionales” y la “neutralidad de largo plazo” de la política monetaria. En esta perspectiva, resulta tentador suponer que la caída experimentada por la inflación en el mundo ha sido el resultado de un genuino progreso en el conocimiento adquirido por la Ciencia Económica. A partir de una revisión de la literatura reciente sobre las causas del aumento y posterior caída de la inflación en los Estados Unidos, se examina la validez y alcance de la visión optimista antes mencionada. En la segunda parte del trabajo, se revisan las causas de la caída que ésta ha experimentado la inflación en Chile en los últimos treinta años, a la luz de una identificación de las restricciones y objetivos de la política monetaria en dicho período.
