their prices. If workers know prices will not increase, they will not ask
for wage increases, and inflation will be eliminated more easily.
Others argue that a credible deficit reduction and central bank
independence are all that is required. They argue that the appropriate
policy changes, if credible, can
lead to dramatic changes in
expectations and therefore lead to the elimination of expected and
actual inflation nearly overnight. They point to the potential dangers of
wage and price controls. The government might end up relying on the
controls, and not take the painful but needed fiscal and policy
measures to end the hyperinflation. Also, if
the structure of relative
prices is distorted to begin with, price controls run the risk of
maintaining these distortions.
Stabilization programs that do not include incomes policies are called
orthodox
; those that do are called
heterodox
(because they rely on both
monetary-fiscal changes and incomes policies).
