Abstract: The paper extends to the closed economy the framework devised by Hansson and Stuart (1986) to analyze the interaction of inflation and taxation on the nominal rate of interest in a financially open economy. The paper generalizes Hansson and Stuart and shows that their finding of a possible non-neutrality of inflation when international capital flows are introduced hinges upon the tax treatment of nominal capital gains, not specifically on whether the economy is financially closed or open.
