Inflation and the Transition to a Market Economy: An Overview
概述了欧洲社会主义经济从低公开通胀转向隐性通胀，以及在向市场经济转型过程中，价格自由化后通胀传导机制的关键问题。
European socialist economies were commonly characterized by low or negligible open inflation, full employment, and stable relative prices and real incomes. Associated features were significant repressed or hidden inflation and disequilibria in goods markets. More recently, as economic and political reform has advanced, attention has shifted to translating repressed into open inflation. Where such reforms have proceeded against a background of a monetary overhang, the implications of that overhang for demand-side policies have figured prominently. In all instances, however, the key underlying issue has been the transmission mechanism for inflation once the initial impulse associated with price liberalization has been imparted.
