High Inflation Could Lead to Social Unrest in Developing Countries
The article explores how different people's need for cash affects the economy. By using a model based on how individuals manage their money, the researchers found that small increases in money supply can boost the economy, but too much can be harmful. In fact, even a small increase in inflation can lead to a significant drop in people's standard of living. This is because inflation reduces the value of money and makes it harder for people to save for emergencies. This research suggests that keeping inflation low is important for economic stability and can help prevent social unrest in developing countries.
