CPM, which stands for Cost-Per-Mille (Mille is Latin for âthousandâ), is when the price is based on 1,000 impressions.
What causes inflation is also a key argument in economic theory. Some economists believe that there are different types of inflation â cost-push and demand-pull inflation. Cost-push inflation is supposed to be a type of inflation caused by rising prices in goods or services with no suitable alternatives. An oft-cited example of this inflation is the oil crisis of the 1970s.
In this article, we explore the major types of inflation and touch upon the competing explanations offered by different economic schools. Although as consumers we may hate rising prices, many economists believe that a moderate degree of inflation is healthy for a nationâs economy.
