The results validated the detrimental effects of inflation and shrinkflation on economic growth, underlining price stability, and reverse or positive shrinkflation as crucial for sustained expansion. Causality analysis further revealed feedback causality between inflation and economic growth. Finally, our findings solidify the quantity-led growth or value-driven growth hypothesis. Reverse shrinkflation, or growth driven by value, drives economic growth unidirectionally. Consumption expenditure increases as the value or quantity of goods and services increase, which boosts consumption, aggregate demand, and economic growth. Hence, to stimulate sustainable economic growth, policymakers should implement prudent monetary policies to control high inflation, a major contributor to shrinkflation. Additionally, industries should be encouraged to enhance productivity and reduce manufacturing costs without sacrificing product size or quality. Lastly, it is essential to monitor pricing changes in critical industries and intervene if unjustified shrinkflation trends emerge. 2025 Emerging Markets Institute, Beijing Normal University Subject The topic of the resource C13; cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag; E31; economic growth; F43; Inflation; JuodisKaraviasSarafidis causality; shrinkflation; trade openness Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available SAGE Publications Ltd Relation A related resource ISSN: 9749101; Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Restricted Access; Hardcopy may be available in the library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource online
