Download or read book The Benefits of Low Inflation written by Brian O'Reilly and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper surveys the empirical literature on the benefits of low inflation, emphasizing contributions since 1990. It follows a framework that examines the costs of inflation, or the benefits of price stability, in the context of four themes: inflation creates uncertainty about the future; there are costs of having to cope with inflation; inflation affects equity and fairness; and living with inflation is no answer. The section on each theme begins with a brief summary of points raised in the Bank of Canada's 1990 annual report, where that framework was presented. The empirical literature is reviewed extensively enough to establish a context. This is followed by discussion of those benefits of low inflation that have been quantified in the literature and those that have not; how the literature on the issue has advanced since 1990; and what areas might benefit from more research in the future.

Download or read book The Canadian Labor Market written by Mr.Eswar Prasad and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-08-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines recent developments in the Canadian labor market. Using disaggregated labor market data, various hypotheses concerning the slow employment growth and rise in unemployment since 1990 are evaluated. The analysis indicates that a large part of the recent rise in the unemployment rate may reflect an increase in the structural rather than the cyclical component of unemployment. Various sources of labor market rigidities that may have contributed to the increase in structural unemployment are examined. In particular, the role of the unemployment insurance system in contributing to labor market rigidity and measures for reforming this system, including the recent proposals of the government, are discussed. Finally, this paper examines active labor market policies that could help to alleviate structural unemployment.

Also included are responses and a general discussion.
