Inflation, Unemployment, and Economic Growth in a Schumpeterian Economy*

Abstract: This study analyzes the effects of inflation on the long-run nexus between unemployment and economic growth. We introduce money demand via a cash-in-advance (CIA) constraint on R&D investment into a scale-invariant Schumpeterian growth model with matching frictions in the labor market. Given the CIA constraint on R&D, a higher inflation that raises the opportunity cost of cash holdings leads to a decrease in innovation and economic growth, which in turn decreases labor-market tightness and increases unemployme… Show more

The intuition of this result can be seen from (21), which shows that a smaller number of products N gives rise to a higher growth rate g = ln z by increasing the amount of resources for the innovation of each product. 7…”

“…Therefore, they could not explore the implications of inflation on unemployment. Chu, Cozzi, et al (2021) incorporate equilibrium unemployment driven by matching frictions in the labor market as in Mortensen (2005) into the monetary Schumpeterian growth model. Then, they use the theoretical framework to explore the long-run relationship between inflation and unemployment.…”
