Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Using a microeconomic model, the paper examines the impact of inflation on the level of investment. In the framework of the loanable-funds market, the behavior of a typical risk averse borrower and a risk averse lender is investigated. It is shown how inflation depresses the level of activity in the loanable-funds market and under what conditions the Fisherian rule for the relation between inflation and the interest rale holds.
