| Abstract | In this paper we investigate the role of macroeconomic performance, mainly in terms of rates of ination, in determining economic growth in four Latin American countries which su¤ered hyperinationary bursts in the 1980s and early 1990s, but that also di¤er in terms of develop-ment levels. The data set covers the period between 1970 and 2007, and the empirical results, based on panel time-series data and analysis, con rm the anecdotal evidence which suggests that ination has had a detrimental e¤ect to growth in the region. All in all, we highlight the fact that excessive ination has clearly o¤set the Mundell-Tobin e¤ect and consequently the high costs that ination has had on economic activity in the region. |
