On price inflation
This thesis seeks to analyse price inflation under oligopoly capitalism. Its central argument is that under oligopoly capitalism, price inflation is a structural phenomenon. For a greater understanding of that phenomenon, the adoption of the inter-industrial approach for its analysis seems …

Banks and inflation
… of banking behavior: (a) involvement of banks in inflationary processes, (b) the effects of inflation on bank earnings and (c) the portfolio behavior of banks in an inflationary period. The study first traces the evolution of the"credit theory of inflation" from the eighteenth century to the early …

The fate of inflation fluctuations in multi-field scenarios during inflation
… this thesis, we give an introductory account of inflationary cosmology. We explain how a period of accelerated expansion in the Universe’s early stages can explain some paradoxes encountered in cosmology. Furthermore, we study the quantum fluctuations of a generic scalar field during inflation …

Inflation, Taxation and Corporate Investment in the U.S. During the Great Inflation
U.S. corporate taxation is not neutral to inflation. Two of its features – historical cost depreciation and FIFO inventory accounting – are expected to lower real after-tax corporate cash flows and, thereby, make investment less attractive when expected inflation is elevated. Using Compustat data …

The origin of inflation.
The inflationary universe scenario provides an appealing explanation for the riddles of why the observed universe is so flat and isotropic, and it neatly provides a causal mechanism for generating the primordial inhomogeneities which seed the large-scale structure we observe today. However, the …

Preheating in multifield inflation
The theory of cosmic inflation was proposed to address problems with Standard Big Bang cosmology. The theory suggests the existence of an epoch during which the universe underwent an exponential expansion, followed by an epoch of slower expansion. Realistic models of high-energy physics require …

Hybrid and multifield inflation
… of density perturbations in two classes of inflationary models: hybrid inflation and multifield inflation with non-minimal coupling to gravity. In the case of hybrid inflation, we developed a new method of treating these perturbations that does not rely on a classical trajectory for the …

Studies of inflation and forecasting.
… The two broad themes of the research are inflation and forecasting. The first two papers examine the topic of core inflation. In these papers, I construct core inflation measures and rank them according to various criteria, including their ability to forecast the headline inflation rate. …

Inflation in Brazil: 1974-1980
… since the first-oil shock in 1973 by severe inflation accompanied by declining rates of economic growth and persistent disequilibrium in the balance of payments. Thus, annual inflation rates skyrocketed from 15% in 1973 to 120% in 1980, measured by the Wholesale Price Index, while economic …

Preheating in new Higgs inflation
Cosmological inflation describes the phenomenon in the early universe when spacetime underwent a rapid, exponential expansion right after the Big Bang. Inflation solves the so-called "horizon problem," "flatness problem," and "monopole problem" of standard Big Bang cosmology. Furthermore, New …

Density perturbations in hybrid inflation
Inflation is a substantial modification to the big bang theory, and supernatural inflation is a hybrid inflation motivated from supersymmetry. In this thesis we carry out a one dimensional numerical simulation to verify the untested analytic approximation of Radall et al. The results show a good …
