摘要
We examine the effect of an inflation tax in a dual-currency economy, where a weak domestic currency circulates alongside a strong foreign currency. We show that in a domestic hyperinflation, the foreign currency actually loses value but becomes the dominant medium of exchange. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
