Abstract

Quarterly data for India for the period 1973 to 1983 support the existence of an 'Expectation Augmented Phillips Curve'. Our results contradict the hypothesis of the New-classical economists that unanticipated money growth leads to a sudden jump in price level and subsequently only to outout growth. We have, on the other hand, found much empirical support for the Buffer-stock approach to money. In India for this period there is much evidence for the 'Imported Inflation'. It appears that small but continuous exchange-rate depreciation during the period of study for India has not led to inflation.
