Abstract
In a comment on my article, Wesche and Wierum criticize the derived relationship between money growth and inflation during accelerating inflation for a model with exponential money demand. However, their analysis has several flaws and the authors seem not to be aware of the economic content of rational expectations equilibria. A correct calculation and interpretation of their exercise fully supports the conclusions in my earlier paper.
