Abstract

The optimal inflation rate is an outstanding issue in monetary theory and policy. Previous work attempting to rationalize positive inflation targets chosen by central banks is subject to a major criticism, since its conclusions depend on the assumption that only one currency is available to agents. This paper presents a model in which the inflation of the domestic currency may have a welfare-improving effect, even though a less inflationary currency exists and no costs in using it are assumed Classification JEL : E40, E51
