          • Definition(s)
            • The term stagflation is sometimes used to describe a situation in which there is slow to zero growth in real output, high inflation exists, and unemployment is higher than normal. This situation usually begins with rising prices at times when production is declining. Because of declining production, unemployment also increases. All three of these factors combined cause stagflation—stagnation in production and employment together with increasing inflation. enotes.com - by Enrique Cavalitto
          • Example sentence(s)
            • If monetary authorities respond appropriately to growing inflationary pressure - recognising that much of it is imported, and not a result of excess domestic demand - we may be able to manage our way through it. But if they raise interest rates relentlessly to meet inflation targets, we should prepare for the worst: another episode of stagflation. - guardian.co.uk by Enrique Cavalitto
            • Once stagflation occurs it is difficult to deal with. The measures a government would usually take to revive an economy in recession (cutting interest rates or increasing government spending) will also increase inflation. - moneyterms.co.uk by Enrique Cavalitto
            • Folks of a certain age might remember the stagflation which dominated the US economy in the 1970s. It was a gloomy time when energy prices (and gasoline lines) dominated the news; when whole industries slumped at the same time, and when job losses and price hikes seemed to travel in tandem. - boston.com by Enrique Cavalitto

            • Στασιμοπληθωρισμός
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Το φαινόμενο της συνύπαρξης στασιμότητας στην οικονομική δραστηριότητα και πληθωρισμού (stagnation and inflation). Επίσης, Στασιμοπληθωρισμός αποκαλείται το οικονομικό φαινόμενο σύμφωνα με το οποίο, για ένα δεδομένο χρονικό διάστημα παρατηρείται αύξηση των ποσοστών ανεργίας παράλληλα με την αύξηση του πληθωρισμού. Πρόκειται ουσιαστικά για ένδειξη μη αποτελεσματικής αγοράς, καθώς παραδοσιακά τα ποσοστά της ανεργίας κινούνται αντίστροφα με τις πληθωριστικές πιέσεις. Συνήθως πληθωριστικές πιέσεις παρατηρούνται σε οικονομίες που τρέχουν με υψηλούς ρυθμούς ανάπτυξης, κάτι που αυξάνει τη ζήτηση για προϊόντα, συνεπώς και τις τιμές για δεδομένη προσφορά. Λόγω δε των ρυθμών ανάπτυξης, δημιουργούνται θέσεις εργασίας, συνεπώς θα έπρεπε τα ποσοστά της ανεργίας να συμπιέζονται προς τα κάτω. Wikipedia - by Ioanna Daskalopoulou
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Κατά συνέπεια, η Δύση οδηγείται και πάλι στον στασιμοπληθωρισμό, τα επιτόκια ανεβαίνουν και η στασιμότητα γενικεύεται, διότι τα δάνεια γίνονται ακριβότερα... - Wikepedia by Ioanna Daskalopoulou
