India's Supply Curve Shocks Could Impact Inflation and Output Levels
The study looked at how supply and demand affect inflation and industrial output growth in India. By analyzing historical data, the researchers found that supply shocks have a big impact on inflation, while demand shocks affect output levels. The results suggest that India's long-term supply curve may have a high elasticity, meaning it can change a lot in response to shocks. Policy decisions can either worsen negative supply shocks or not fully benefit from positive supply developments.
