摘要:This study modelled and examined the dy namic relationship among fiscal deficits, money supply, and inflation using annual data from 1980 to 2010.A static error correction model (ECM) and the Stock-Watson dynamic OLS (DOLS) model based on leads and lags of the variableswere us ed. This technique is robust to small sample and eliminates simultaneity bias. The model was used to investigate the elasticities for both short run and long run determinants of the general price level. Results indicate that both money supply and deficit have significant impact on inflation dynamics in Ghana. The key result of the study showed that the lagged values of money supply play a key role and provides evidence that the response of inflation dynamics to money supply relies on current and cumulative effects of past doses of money supply.
