I reconcile macro- and micro-evidence on price-setting in a search and matching framework. Negotiation of wages substantially increases strategic complementarity of price-setting and thus real price rigidities which reduces implied price durations. This mechanism also dampens wage responses to...

This paper argues that there is a nonzero inflation-unemployment tradeoff in the long-run due to frictional growth, a … unemployment. Hence, we estimate an interactive dynamics model for the US that includes wage-price setting and labour market … equations. We then evaluate the inflation-unemployment tradeoff and assess the impact of productivity, money growth, budget …

This paper offers a reappraisal of the inflation-unemployment tradeoff, based on ?frictional growth,? describing the … expectations, there is a long-run inflation-unemployment tradeoff. Our empirical analysis suggests that this Phillips curve may be … reasonably flat. We show that the persistence of inflation and unemployment, in response to monetary policy shocks, is related to …

In this paper we introduce and test the hypothesis that the relation between inflation and unemployment has been in … unemployment were the result of the struggle between the wage and price setters trying to influence the distribution of income to … a rising rate of unemployment.

Using a standard dynamic general equilibrium model, we show that the interaction of staggered nominal contracts with hyperbolic discounting leads to inflation having significant long-run effects on real variables.
