• INFLATION is a rise in the general level of prices
of goods and services in an economy over a
period of time. When the general price level
rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods
and services.
MEANING OF INFLATION
![Page 4: INFLATION : NATURE,EFFECT AND CONTROL](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55490ec9b4c90558458bc10e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
INTRODUCTION
Inflation is defined as a sustained increase in the
price level or a fall in the value of money.
It is measured as a rate percentage per unit time, say
a year or month.
When the level of currency of a country exceeds the
level of production, inflation occurs.
Value of money depreciates with the occurrence of
inflation.

VARIATIONS ON INFLATION Deflation is when the general level of prices is falling. This
is the opposite of inflation.
Hyper inflation is unusually rapid inflation. In extreme
cases, this can lead to the breakdown of a nation's monetary
system.
Stagflation is the combination of high unemployment and
economic stagnation with inflation..

RATE OF INFLATION
Rate of inflation is the rate of change of the general price level. It is measured by simple formula:
Rate of inflation t=Pt-Pt-1 Pt-1
Where, Pt=price level in the year t
Pt-1=price level in the year t-1,the base year
If there is a decline in the rate of inflation such a situation is called DISINFLATION.

CAUSES OF INFLATION
FACTORS ON DEMAND SIDE:
Increase in money supplyIncrease in disposable incomeDeficit financingForeign exchange reserves
FACTORS ON SUPPLY SIDE
oRise in administered prices
oErratic agriculture growth
oAgricultural price policy
oInadequate industrial growth

CAUSES OF INFLATION
Demand-Pull Inflation
This theory can be summarized as "too much money
chasing too few goods". This usually occurs in growing
economies. The demand for goods and services increases and
production remains the same or does not increase as fast. the excess demand results in prices being “pulled up”.
Demand pull inflation occurs when total demand for goods and services exceeds the total supply.
This type of inflation happens when there is an inflationary gap

COST-PUSH INFLATION
When companies' costs go up, they need to increase prices
to maintain their profit margins.
Caused by an increase in the cost of production. Increased
costs “push up” the price level.
Cost push inflation can result from change in aggregate
supply.
The two main sources of change in aggregate supply are
increase in wage rate and price of raw material.

MONETARY MEASURES
Credit Control central bank should pursue credit control policy. In
order to control cash reserve ratio etc. it can also issue notice to other
banks in order to control credit.
• Deficit Financing It means printing of new currency notes by Reserve
Bank of India .If more new notes are printed it will increase the supply
of money thereby increasing demand and prices.
Issue of New Currency During Inflation the RBI will issue new currency
notes replacing many old notes. This will reduce the supply of money in
the economy.

HOW IS IT MEASURED
Consumer Price Index
Wholesale Price Index
![Page 18: INFLATION : NATURE,EFFECT AND CONTROL](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55490ec9b4c90558458bc10e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
CPI is a measure estimating the average price of consumer
goods and services purchased by households.
CPI measures a price change for a constant market basket of
goods and services from one period to the next within the same
area (city, region, or nation).
It is a price index determined by measuring the price of a
standard group of goods meant to represent the typical market
basket of a typical urban consumer. The percent change in the CPI
is a measure estimating inflation.
![Page 19: INFLATION : NATURE,EFFECT AND CONTROL](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55490ec9b4c90558458bc10e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WHOLESALE PRICE INDEX
WPI was published in 1902,and was one of the economic
indicators available to policy makers until it was replaced by
most developed countries by the CPI market. index in the
1970.
WPI is the index that is used to measure the change in the
average price level of goods traded in wholesale market.
Some countries (like India and The Philippines) use WPI
changes as a central measure of inflation. However, India and
the United States now report a producer price index instead.
![Page 20: INFLATION : NATURE,EFFECT AND CONTROL](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55490ec9b4c90558458bc10e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PROBLEMS WITH WPI
In present day service sector plays a key role in Indian
economy. Consumers are spending loads of money on
services like education and health. And these services are
not incorpated in calculation of WPI.
WPI measures general level of price changes either at level
of wholesaler or at the producer and does not take into
account the retail margins.
WPI is supposed to measure impact of prices on business.
“But we use it to measure the impact on consumers. Many
commodities not consumed by consumers get calculated in
the index.

INFLATION - KEYNESIAN VIEW
Keynesian economics proposes that changes in money
supply do not directly affect prices, and that visible inflation is
the result of pressures in the economy expressing themselves
in prices.
Demand-pull inflation is caused by increases in
aggregate demand due to increased private and
government spending.
![Page 22: INFLATION : NATURE,EFFECT AND CONTROL](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55490ec9b4c90558458bc10e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cost-push inflation, also called "supply shock inflation," is
caused by a drop in aggregate supply (potential output).
This may be due to natural disasters, or increased prices of
inputs.
For example, a sudden decrease in the supply of oil,
leading to increased oil prices, can cause cost-push
inflation.

MONETARIST VIEW
Consider fiscal policy, or government spending and
taxation, as ineffective in controlling inflation.The quantity theory of money, simply stated, says that any change in the amount of money in a system will change the price level.
MV = PQ
where
M is the nominal quantity of money.
V is the velocity of money in final expenditures;
P is the general price level;
Q is an index of the real value of final expenditures;

THE PHILLIPS CURVE
Wage growth % (Inflation)
Unemployment (%)
The Phillips Curve shows an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment. It suggested that if governments wanted to reduce unemployment it had to accept higher inflation as a trade-off.
Money illusion – wage rates rising but individuals not factoring in inflation on real wage rates.
