摘要
In this paper it is examined whether the existence of rational bubbles can explain the dynamics of the price level during the Argentine, Brazilian and Israeli high inflations in the first half of the 1980s. Based on the Cagan (1956) money demand model, the West (1987) specification test finds evidence of rational inflationary bubbles in the three countries when the money supply is assumed to be exogenous. However, if endogeneity of money is taken into account, there is no evidence of rational bubbles.
