Abstract

The paper aims to make comprehensive view of theoretical frameworks that determent the relationship between dollarization phenomenon and inflation rate and fluctuation. It also aims at analyzing and explanting the  mechanisms on the impact played by one toward the other . The paper, as well as, try to makes quantitave model for testing and determining the nature, value, and direction of  the relationships between those two variables and the capability of the actual situation in Egypt during the period 1994-2016 for reflecting the theoretical situation. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag methodology (ARDL) was used by Pesaran et al. (2011) is adopted to achieve that. The results of the measurement show a statistically significant negative impact on the inflation rate (INF), a significant positive effect of fluctuations in inflation rates (GINF), and no significant effect on the difference between inflation and exchange rate fluctuations (GIEX) In the dollarization index Duration of study.
