Determinants of Relative Price Variability during a Recession: Evidence from Canada at the Time of the Great Depression

Fielding, David; Hajzler, Chris; MacGee, Jim (University of Otago, 2011)
Most studies find that relative price variability (RPV) is a U-shaped or V-shaped function of anticipated inflation, and a V-shaped function of unanticipated inflation. One exception is Reinsdorf (1994), who finds that RPV ...
