Worker identity, employment fluctuations and stabilization policy
Snower, Dennis J.; Lechthaler, Wolfgang - 2013
This paper provides a model of "social hysteresis" whereby long, deep recessions demotivate workers and thereby lead them to change their work ethic. In switching from a pro-work to an anti-work identity, their incentives to seek and retain work fall and consequently their employment chances...

Monetary persistence, imperfect competition, and staggering complementarities
Merkl, Christian (contributor);  … - 2007
This paper explores the influence of wage and price staggering on monetary persistence. We show that, for plausible parameter values, wage and price staggering are complementary in generating monetary persistence. We do so by proposing the new measure of "quantitative inertia," after discussing...

Hyperbolic discounting and positive optimal inflation
Graham, Liam; Snower, Dennis J. - 2011
The Friedman rule states that steady-state welfare is maximized when there is deflation at the real rate of interest. Recent work by Khan et al. (2003) uses a richer model but still finds deflation optimal. In an otherwise standard new Keynesian model we show that, if households have hyperbolic...

Envy, guilt, and the Phillips curve
Ahrens, Steffen; Snower, Dennis J. - 2012
We incorporate inequity aversion into an otherwise standard New Keynesian dynamic equilibrium model with Calvo wage contracts and positive inflation. Workers with relatively low incomes experience envy, whereas those with relatively high incomes experience guilt. The former seek to raise their...
