First, there was no automatic deflationary pressure following from some alleged peculiarity of the adjustment mechanism. The question of overall deflationary or inflationary impact depended (and still depends) on the total quantity of money.

Fiscal consolidation means less public spending. And less spending means less upward pressure on prices which is the last thing Europe needs in a deflationary environment.

The indirect effect, which might be substantial, is that cost competitive light manufacturing in emerging markets increases. That would reinforce the deflationary pressure from globalization for years to come.

Simply put, we live in a world in which there is too much supply and too little demand. The result is persistent disinflationary, if not deflationary, pressure, despite aggressive monetary easing.

Japan is still stagnating. Not inflation, but a Japanese type period of deflationary pressure with ever increasing public debt is the real risk that the world will be facing for years to come.

Fifth, weak profitability, owing to high debts and default risk, low economic and thus revenue growth, and persistent deflationary pressure on companies margins, will continue to constrain firms willingness to produce, hire workers, and invest.

As a result of these factors, eurozone growth has resumed, and eurozone equities have recently outperformed US equities. The weakening of the euro and the ECB s aggressive measures may even stop the deflationary pressure later this year.

Specifically, an appreciating dollar improves the price competitiveness of European and Japanese companies in the US and other markets, while moderating some of the structural deflationary pressure in the lagging economies by causing import prices to rise.

In response to deflationary pressure, Fisher s plan would have enabled banks to draw down their reserves and thus, supposedly, increase their lending (or create deposits). The extra spending would cause prices to rise, which would stimulate business activity.

It's a deflationary force, if not handled right.

Even if the Fed ignores deflationary pressure and hikes interest rates more quickly, medium and long term rates are still likely to be anchored, given how little yield is available elsewhere in the world. Yields on German Bunds are now negative out to eight years.

True, China s economy is now growing robustly and is not likely to face actual deflation anytime soon, but if China does fall into a zero interest rate trap, the PBC, like the BOJ, would be unable to offset deflationary pressure in the event of a large exchange rate appreciation. With short term interest rates locked at zero, pressure for further appreciation would leave the PBC helpless to re expand the economy.

Deflationary pressures eased in Japan but firm evidence that deflation has ended is still awaited.

One major concern relates to the destabilizing and deflationary feedbacks among trade, debt and finance.

Here, too, the record since 1980 has been patchy, despite the huge deflationary pressure exerted by low wage competition from Asia. Inflation in 1950 1973 and 1980 2007 was about the same just over 3 while inflation targeting has failed to prevent a succession of asset bubbles that have brought recessions in their wake.

And put the pressure where the pressure needs to be put.

China s slowdown, coming after years of over investment in real estate and infrastructure, is also causing a global glut of manufactured and industrial goods. With domestic demand in these sectors now contracting sharply, the excess capacity in China s steel and cement sectors to cite just two examples is fueling further deflationary pressure in global industrial markets.

But, rather than recognize the likely drivers of these developments namely, a seemingly chronic shortfall of global aggregate demand amid a supply glut and a deflationary profusion of technological innovations and new supply chains the Fed continues to minimize the deflationary impact of global forces. It would rather attribute low inflation to successful inflation targeting, and the Great Moderation that it presumably spawned.

That would have meant too much pressure.
