The model's key features are unequal access to both inflation-hedging opportunities and the political process. The model predicts that inequality and 'elite bias' in the political system interact to create incentives for inflation. The paper's empirical section focuses on this predicted interaction effect. The identification strategy involves using the end of the Cold War as a source of exogenous variation in the political environment. It finds robust evidence in support of the model. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/06/158. 606 $aIncome distribution$xEconometric models 606 $aInflation (Finance)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aIncome distribution$xEconometric models. 615 0$aInflation (Finance)$xSocial aspects. 700 $aCrowe$b Christopher$g(Christopher W.)$0868737 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810752303321 996 $aInflation, Inequality, and Social Conflict$93958409 997 $aUNINA
