Abstract

A theoretical model of inflationary dynamics in Ecuador is specified for the pre-dollarization period when the sucre was still the official currency. Parameter estimation is carried out using a battery of time series techniques. Monthly data from January 1964 to December 1994 are used in the empirical analysis. Variables shown to influence consumer price movements include the money supply, the exchange rate, and the implicit cost of holding idle cash balances.
