High And Variable Inflation: Further Evidence On The Friedman Hypothesis

Author

Listed:
  • John Thornton

Abstract

This note, employing a GARCH model, finds a positive and significant relationship between the level and variability of inflation in South Africa in the period 1957:1‐2005:9. This provides evidence in support of Friedman's hypothesis that high inflation leads to more variable inflation.
