relationship between the growth rates of the money supply and the rates of inflation
Figure 11.5 Inflation and Money Growth in the Long Run examines annual growth rates based on observing the money supply and the price level at five-year intervals. The first observation is the annual growth rate for the period starting in January 1959 and ending in January 1964.omparing these two figures, you can see that the relationship between money growth and inflation is much tighter when we examine five-year periods, as in Figure 11.5 Inflation and Money Growth in the Long Run , rather than the monthly changes in Figure 11.4 Inflation and Money Growth in the Short Run .
