Abstract

If imperfect market institutions prevail in a country and inflation amounts to about 10% then efforts directed to further inflation decrease would probably hamper economic growth. To substantiate this thesis, I make references on opinions of well-known economists, discuss results of recent empirical research, and analyze peculiarities of modern economic situation in Russia. Arguments in favor of active policy to stimulate economic development are adduced.
