Price determination and process of inflation in Canada / B.L. Scarfe, Prices and Incomes Commission.: RG33-4/1972-PDF

"This monograph constitutes a major study of price determination in the Canadian economy. Of particular interest is the relationship between price determination and the process of inflation. How are inflationary impulses transmitted from one sector of the economy to another? Does the existence of noncompetitive pricing behavior in the product market have any bearing on the inflation transmission process? How well does the market allocation mechanism function in the Canadian economy? To what extent is it possible to insulate the Canadian economy from foreign inflationary impulses? Unless one faces up to these questions it is difficult even to begin useful speculation on the costs and benefits of alternative forms of prices and incomes policies"--Preface, page iii.
