Unemployment in an estimated new Keynesian model
Galí, Jordi; Smets, Frank; Wouters, Rafael - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2011
We reformulate the Smets-Wouters (2007) framework by embedding the theory of unemployment proposed in Galí (2011a …,b). We estimate the resulting model using postwar U.S. data, while treating the unemployment rate as an additional observable … output gap. In addition, the estimated model can be used to analyze the sources of unemployment fluctuations. …

Inflation Dynamics with Search Frictions: A Structural Econometric Analysis
Krause, Michael; López-Salido, J David; Lubik, Thomas - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008
The New Keynesian Phillips curve explains inflation dynamics as being driven by current and expected future real marginal costs. In competitive labour markets, the labour share can serve as a proxy for the latter. In this paper, we study the role of real marginal cost components implied by...

Exploitability as a Specification Test of the Phillips Curve
Minford, Patrick; Peel, David - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2002
Nominal price and wage rigidity renders monetary policy effective over output. However, this effectiveness extends, under widely used overlapping-wage and Calvo-contract Phillips Curves, to planned monetary policy (‘exploitability’) and not merely to policy surprises. We argue that within...

Hyperbolic Discounting and Positive Optimal Inflation
Graham, Liam; Snower, Dennis J. - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 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...
