Abstract
Crossโcountry regressions explaining output growth often obtain a negative effect from inflation. However, that result is not robust, due to the selection of countries in sample, temporal aggregation, and omission of consequential variables in levels. This paper demonstrates some implications of these misโspecifications, both analytically and empirically. In particular, for most Gโ7 countries, annual time series of inflation and the logโlevel of output are cointegrated, thus rejecting the existence of a longโrun relation between output growth and inflation. Typically, output and inflation are positively related in these cointegrating relationships: a price markup model helps to interpret this surprising feature. Copyright ยฉ 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
