 [No title]
Sargent and Wallace (1981) presented an overlapping generations model where a fiscal authority dominates a monetary authority by imposing a deficit stream which must necessarily be financed by the Central Bank or Treasury.
Sargent and Wallace find that it is possible, under the regime that they describe for tight money to have little effect now, and result in higher inflation later.
When viewed through the Sargent and Wallace framework discussed here, the evidence from the Confederate Congress and individual State legislatures leads to the conclusion that large scale monetization of debt was an inevitable policy choice for the Treasury.

 Kravchuk: Inflation Dynamics, Stabilization, and Budget Reform
Sargent and Wallace (1981) explored the "unpleasant arithmetic" of monetarism, arguing that, in an environment of increasing inflation, even short-term financing of government deficits via bonds would be insufficient to contain the inflationary impulse.
Their model implies that, although tight monetary policy may be able to fight inflation temporarily, it will eventually lead to higher inflation.[21] Such a situation logically results only where monetary policy fully accommodates fiscal laxity.
The German economist Willem Buiter (1987) contradicts Sargent and Wallace, arguing that runaway inflation under conditions of large and growing budget deficits cannot lead to ever-higher inflation.

 Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Quarterly Review: Money and inflation in colonial Massachusetts. @ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The point of departure for this argument is a relatively recent body of theoretical developments in monetary economics associated with the work of Thomas Sargent (1981) and Neil Wallace (1981).
Also, Sargent (1981) provides evidence that four European hyperinflations in the 1920s were ended by expedients similar to those employed in colonial Massachusetts.
However, as Sargent (1981) and Smith (1983a, b) have demonstrated, it is a point which applies quite generally in monetary history.

 ISU Economics - Publications
Sargent and Wallace (1981) produced conditions under which bond finance leads to a higher rate of inflation than deficit monetization ("unpleasant monetarist arithmetic'').
However, it has been argued that unpleasant arithmetic is unlikely to obtain in practice, as it requires a number of conditions to hold that are rarely satisfied empirically.
We develop a model essentially identical to that of Sargent and Wallace, and modify it to allow for a simple type of financial intermediation that they exogenously precluded.

 3rd Quarter 1999 - Economic and Financial Review - FRB Dallas
Sargent and Wallace (1981) study the feasibility of a bond-financed increase in government spending.
In their "unpleasant monetarist arithmetic," Sargent and Wallace show how using bonds to finance a permanent deficit today may necessitate faster money growth in the future, yielding higher inflation today.
The logic behind this spectacular result is predicated on the satisfaction of one crucial condition: the real interest rate offered on bonds has to exceed the real growth rate of the economy.

 Backed Money, Fiat Money, and the Real Bills Doctrine
Empirical studies by Sargent (1982), Smith (1985), Calomiris (1988), Siklos (1990), Bomberger and Makinen (91), and Cunningham (1992) have found that the value of money is more accurately predicted by a Real-Bills type "Backing Theory" than by the Quantity Theory.
Sargent (1981) has observed that inflation abates when a subservient central bank becomes independent, but his interpretation is that independence allows the central bank to restrain the growth of the money supply.

 Some Not-So-Unpleasant Monetarist Arithmetic (SMEALSearch) - Pal,Rangaswamy,Giles,Debnath   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
this article is the well-known and controversial work of Sargent and Wallace (1981), who show the potential importance of the government's budget constraint for the behavior of nominal vari- ables.
The government's lifetime budget constraint can place restrictions on the behavior of future money growth and thus influence current economic magnitudes through expectational channels.
Some of Sargent and Wallace's results are indeed striking, and indicate that tight monetary policy can lead to the unpleasant outcome of both higher expected inflation and a higher price level.

Darby’s evidence on average rates of real growth and real interest was taken from a time when budget policy kept the deficit net-of-interest close to zero.
But in the context of more general models, his evidence is insufficient to predict whether or not monetary accommodation will be necessary when budget policy is changed to one of permanent deficits.
Based on their interpretation of the data, Miller and Sargent conclude that Sargent-Wallace’s unpleasant arithmetic may be the right one in present circumstances.

He poses the question initially in a manner similar to how Thomas Sargent and Neil Wallace posed the government deficit issue back in 1981.
Updating the Sargent and Wallace Unpleasant Monetarist Arithmetic model to today’s General Fund deficit issue let the debt to GDP ratio be 70% and the current non-interest surplus (s) be negative 3%.
The present value condition is simply that s must be increased so that s/(r — g) = debt/GDP, where r = the real interest rate and g = the steady state growth rate for real GDP, if the debt/GDP ratio is not to increase.
