摘要：
This study incorporates heterogeneous households into a monetary Schumpeterian growth model via menu costs to explore the effect of inflation on income inequality. The source of income inequality stems from the unequal distribution across households' assets. Given that households face the same wage rate, inflation that leads to a monotonically decreasing effect on economic growth helps mitigate income inequality by weakening the contribution of asset income relative to wage income.
