Economic
Deflation Concerns in the
United Kingdom (2006)
This project examines the
concerns of
deflation in the UK. Deflation is defined as a sustained decline in an
aggregate measure of prices such as the rate of the retail price index
(RPI), Deflation is a generalised and persistent decline in most, if
not all, prices of goods and services (Buiter, 2003). It is normally
associated with falling aggregate demand leading to a negative output
gap where actual GDP is less then potential GDP. With Asian economics
already experiencing declining prices, the worry has been that
deflationary pressures could deepen and even spread globally. The focus
of this research is to distinguish if deflation is present in the UK
manufacturing sector and whether there are signs of general deflation
in the economy.
