Abstract

The paper discusses the factors governing relative price changes often observed in sudden desinflations. It examines inflation induced changes in consumer behavior in markets with im-perfect information and, along similar lines, discusses ways through which inflation affects firms pricing decisions, focusing more specifically on changes in demand elasticity and on cash flow uncertainty.
