Abstract

After summarizing a model of autonomous or administered inflation presented
in another paper, the authors analyse the Keynesian and monetarist policies of controlling
inflation. Finally, they discuss at length an alternative policy of price stabilization – an administrative
policy – based on price controls and programmed deindexation, associated with
moderate growth of the economy and followed by monetary and fiscal adjustment.
