Description
This paper examines how debt as a ratio of GDP, income, country size, openness, central bank independence and political stability affects rates of inflation across countries over time. I update a previous study by Campillo & Miron (1997), which analyzes the determinants of inflation for the period 1973-1994. This paper applies the model used by Campillo & Miron to the years 1998-2007. I find the determinants of inflation to be largely similar in the two time periods.
