Abstract
This paper studies the inflationary dynamics of a Non-Local Theory of gravity. This theory, based around derivatives of the Ricci Scalar in the Einstein-Hilbert action, was previously found to be Ghost free, and to give rise to a bouncing cosmology. Perturbation spectra are calculated and found to be similar to those for chaotic inflation.
