Abstract
In a previous paper, the author concluded that there was no evidence that low inflation was associated with improved growth rate. In this note, he examines a paper by R. J. Barro (1995) which tends to the opposing view. He suggests that the evidence of this paper in fact reinforces his conclusion.
