| Tiivistelmä: | The article examines the effect of inflation on growth in transition countries and presents panel data evidence for 13 transition countries over the 19902003 period as well as uses a fixed effects panel approach to account for possible bias from correlations among the unobserved effects and the observed country heterogeneity. The author expounds the following results: i) A strong, robust, negative effect on growth of inflation or its standard deviation, and one that appears to decline in magnitude as the inflation rate increases, as seen for OECD countries. ii) A role for a normalized money demand in affecting growth, as well as for a convergence variable, a trade variable and a government share variable. Robustness of the baseline single-equation model is examined by expanding this into a three-equation simultaneous system of output growth, inflation and money demand that allows for possible simultaneity bias in the baseline model. |
