It examines whether the government’s actions—particularly excessive money printing to capture seigniorage revenue—helped cause the hyperinflation.

face tough financialchallenges.Generating revenue byoverprinting currency to meet fiscalexpenses is a temptation that someind hard to resist.Now is a good timeto recollect hyperinflation's devastat-ing consequences and its causes.  \nThe demand for money during periods ofextreme inflation is a monctary phenome-non that has drawn the attention of manyeconomists during the twentieth century.This facet of monetary economics is ofparticular interest because of the conse-quences associated with holding moneythat can,literally.lose value by the minute.  \nLatin America has afforded severalopportunities to investigate how hyper-inflation affects money demand.WhileLatin America as a whole has sufferedfrom the effects of high inflation sincethe 1970s,severe episodes of hyperinfla-tion have transpired in Argentina.Bolivia,Brazil.and Peru.  \nThis paper examines the particular cir-cumstances surrounding the demand formoney during the hyperinflationary expe-rience in Peru between 1979 and 1991.During the 1980s,annual inflation ratesin Peru seldom fell below 50 percent,andbetween 1988and 1990.inflation ratesskyrocketed uncontrollably.peaking in  \n# Money Demand

Money DemandThe relationship between inflation andthe demand for money has been investi-gated extensively,and several studieshave focused on money demand duringperiods of hyperinflation.Perhaps themost famous is Cagan's 1956study ofthe inflationary circumstances in thecountries of post-World War lI Europe.including Germany.Austria.Hungary,Greece.Poland.and Russia.'  \nEconomic theory maintains that an indi-vidual's demand for real money balancesdepends on variables such as wealth inreal ternis,real income,and the expectedretun on each asset that holds his wealth(on average.the nominal interest rate)Cagan finds that in times of hyperinfla-tion,because the fluctuation in prices isso extreme,the rate of inflation beconesthe most important determinant.In gen-eral,in the countries Cagan studies,thedemand for real money balances tendedto decline as inflation rates increased.  \nAsilis.Honohan,and McNelis(1993)provide a similar study of hyperinflationand money demand in another LatinAmerican country.Bolivia.Between1980 and 1985,Bolivia experiencedinflation comparable to that of Peru.These authors examine this five-yearperiod of hyperinflation—in which Boli-vian inflation rates reached nearly  \n20,000 percent—and the three-year sta-bilization period that followed.Asin theCagan study,money demand dependedon the inflation rate during the Bolivianhyperinflation,but two other factorswere also involved—the degree ofuncertainty that people felt about future  \nDecember 2000  \n# Essays in Economics\n\nThe Federal Reserve Bank ofCleveland
