Inflation-Growth Relationship: New Evidence for India
This paper revisits the threshold level of inflation for India. The empirical analysis follows spline regression for the period 1996–97Q1 to 2019–20Q4. The results suggest the existence of a statistically significant threshold level of inflation at 5 to 5.5% in terms of both CPI and WPI. Below this level, the impact of inflation on growth is generally positive whereas it is negative above this level, and therefore injurious to growth. Hence, policymakers in India may consider reducing the tolerable band from 4 ± 2% to 4 ± 1.5% under the flexible inflation targeting regime with a vision to further compress it to 4 ± 1% in due course.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Quantitative Economics (JQEC) is a refereed journal of the Indian Econometric Society (TIES). It solicits quantitative papers with basic or applied research orientation in all sub-fields of Economics that employ rigorous theoretical, empirical and experimental methods. The Journal also encourages Short Papers and Review Articles. Innovative and fundamental papers that focus on various facets of Economics of the Emerging Market and Developing Economies are particularly welcome. With the help of an international Editorial board and carefully selected referees, it aims to minimize the time taken to complete the review process while preserving the quality of the articles published.
