Paper Summary

Inflation and economic growth in Sweden between 1971-2017 show a non-linear relationship. Contrary to popular belief, a "low" and stable inflation rate does not always lead to economic growth. The researchers found that there is a threshold level of inflation where economic growth is maximized. This means that too low or too high inflation rates can actually hinder economic growth in Sweden.
