We used dynamic panel threshold growth regression, which allowed us to work with fixed effect and endogeneity issues. We observed a nonlinear relationship between inflation and economic growth for 32 Asian countries over the period 1980–2009. We detected an inflation threshold of approximately 5.43%, at a 1% level of significance. We found that inflation hurts growth when it exceeds 5.43% but has no effect below this level. Different estimation methods determined that the effect of inflation on growth is robust. Our findings may be useful to central banks as a guide for inflation targeting., JEL Classification Codes: C23, O40, E31, 経済学 / Economics}, title = {Inflation and Economic Growth: A Dynamic Panel Threshold Analysis for Asian Economies} }
