Stagflation and Topsy-Turvy Capital Flows Staff Working Paper 2022-46 Julien Bengui, Louphou Coulibaly Unregulated capital flows are likely excessive during a stagflation episode, owing to a macroeconomic externality operating through the economy’s supply side.

The favourable performance of these measures stems from their lack of reliance on historical experience, an especially valuable feature in unprecedented times.
